Watching *TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE* for the FIRST TIME! (Movie Reaction) 

so, youtube has demonetised this video so if you want to help me out, check out the patreon! early access videos, uncensored, etc! 😱www.patreon.com/puggapillar

The chainsaw was real. In the audio commentary of the film Gunnar Hansen (Leatherface) said that at one point during the chase scene he did a sharp turn and his feet slid out from under him, resulting in him falling and the chainsaw going up in the air. Due to limited visibility with the mask on Gunnar couldn't see where the chainsaw was, so he rolled on to his side and covered his head. Thankfully the chainsaw landed right beside him.

LET'S GOOOO!! I love how this movie have the vibe of an old VHS tape that you would find in the attic of your grandma. It's weird, dirty and disturbing. 10/10

If I remember correctly, that final shot of Leatherface doing the dance with his chainsaw was completely improvised. He randomly did it and the director or someone watching thought it was that weird and unnerving that it was to stay in the film.

The wild thing is, this movie's also a great example of how you don't need buckets of blood/gore to make a sickening and disturbing horror film. When you really break it down shot-for-shot, there isn't THAT much explicit blood/gore onscreen when compared to many other horror films. But the horrific implications of the story, the performances, and the music/sound editing still all combine to create something truly unnerving.

You were right about horror stories on set. That dinner scene had them on set for….. idk, I think it was 36 hours? Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I know it was something ridiculous like that.

This film is most inspired by the real crimes of Ed Gein, who did turn his victims into furniture, like Leatherface's family. However, majority of this film is not a true story.

Fun fact: This movie was forbidden to own here in Germany for a long time, simply because of the brutality

Fun fact: The guy who plays the grandpa was 19 at the time. It just required a lot of makeup.

This'll always be one of my favorite horror films for how well it maintains the sense of discomfort from literally the very first shot until the last.

No wonder there are so many missing persons, murders, & killers during the 70s. I heard that the house where the movie took place is now a family restaurant, they prolly serve great barbie. The actress' screams and the frantically quick editing is stunning & confusing, it's effective.

Few horror films as disturbing as this . Funny how they showed less actual blood and gore on screen to reduce the rating but they literally made it 10x more terrifying and realistic this way

Your channel is criminally underrated and under subscribed! I love your reactions.

This was the best reaction. Watching this poor real life equivalent of the movies victims being constantly bewildered, betrayed and assaulted by the movie was incredibly fascinating and entertaining. A testament to the film's enduring power. The shot of Alex almost spitting up that smoothie with the first corpse reveal was as tragically comic as anything Franklin (Paul Partain) did. What a wonderfully bizarre meta experience.

As a resident of Texas the serial killers aren’t the problem its the heat😭

This movie was actually banned in the UK for 25 years

Tobe Hooper would be proud of how this movie unsettles newer generations.

This was filmed a few blocks from my house. Right now, there’s a shopping center called La Frontera where the house originally sat. The house was moved and turned into a restaurant, as some commentators have said.

It really scares me knowing the killer was inspired by a true one

The film looks so gritty and realistic. It has a documentary look to it.

The actor playing Leatherface can out run the actress playing Sally so he had to cut trees with thr chainsaw to emphasize cause she suppose to run faster than Leatherface.

And the award for most messed up family goes to.... You survived the massacre at least.

Sally is Franklin’s sister. Not his friend.

This movie really gave Puggapillar Goosebumps.

Lol Literally watching this in Texas. People are not like that here. We’re much worse and don’t let anyone get away.

It's based on Wisconsin killer and graverobber/cannibal Ed Gein from the 1950's. The three main villains represent the three sides of Ed Gein's personality. Roll those three maniacs into one single person, you have Ed Gein personified. Nobody ever make that connection. It kinda disappoints me at this stage, since that's so obvious if you know who Ed Gein is.

I was still in primary/elementary school when I saw this at the drive-in with my family. It's funny because I didn't really realize how disturbing it was until I rewatched it when I was an adult. Kid me was mostly afraid because of the chainsaw sounds but thought the dude just looked weird in the mask. I just remember not liking it as much as I did another guy in a mask (Michael Myers).

I remember being about 8 when I watched this. I grew up on VHS copies of Friday the 13th, Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street, etc, at my grandma's house. My grandpa thought that if I liked those, I would like this. Needless to say, I was freaked out. When just was a kid I didn't know what "based on a true story" meant. I thought that it was like found footage, where this was the event actually filmed as it happened.

It's inspired by Ed Gein, but so is Silence of the Lambs and Psycho.

You gotta admit, that cinematography was state-of-the-art in "1904". 😝 Also, I do own a chainsaw. There's a lot of shallow rooted pine in Florida, and a motor-saw is the difference between a hard hour of work or 10 and a hernia. And its a real chainsaw, you can take the chain off and still let the motor wind out like that. Without the blade, there's nothing going on but the sound of the motor.

I remember seeing the 2003 remake opening night at the theater. As we were walking in, the ushers were cleaning up someone’s puke from the previous showing. 😂

Best horror movie ever. Scary as hell but hardly any gore. Those were mostly real bones it that house, I remember the Leatherface actor(Gunnar Hansen) talking about how it didn't smell very good in there.

The best sequel is Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. It’s more of a straight up horror comedy, but it’s also the only sequel that has a real direct connection to the original.

Dude you should check out the sequel, Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2. It's a bit more dark comedy but it's a hell of time and expands on the cannibalism of the first.

This movie isn't based on a true story, but the character of Leatherface is loosely based on Ed Gein, who actually made decorations from the bones and skin of his 2 victims. And he never used a chainsaw.

Another thing that makes this actually scary to me is that he is actually running, and fast, most slashers have the killer either teleport or just be slow af, him just sprinting after you is so much worse

this movie really reminds me of sleepaway camp, its not as disturbing or scary but it has a really unsettling vibe kind of like this one (its very different though)

3:06 The character of Leatherface, is based on serial killer Ed Gein

Being a scare actor at Halloween Haunts, And Being the one holding a chainsaw in pitch black only to turn it on while full sprinting at people (I'm 6ft and 200 pounds) that scares the living hell out of anyone, grown adults have ran and fallen. Fun/Hilarious to me but Horrifying to them. Also, Texas Chainsaw WAS based on a true series of events.

I live close by that gas station and it still looks the exact same lol! Only now it’s a gift shop and BBQ diner. There are little cabins behind the store in case fans of the movie want to spend the night out there and the van from the movie is also parked back there. The people who own it are super nice and not psychotic at all haha!

The movies that really uneased and unsettled me besides this one were: The Hills Have Eyes House of 1000 Corpses & I Spit On Your Grave (the original one) they really know how to make you feel like you're right there with them~ *shudders*

Fun fact: Leatherface wasnt rping as a woman. That is the last face he ripped off from a victim

I love how your always so confused about everything your seeing in the movies you react to. It'd be interesting to see how you'd survive if you ever had to be a detective lol

The funny thing is that you didn't really have to read at the beginning since the opening scroll crawl was narrated. ;)

Puggapillar Fun fact: Sally was actualy cut during the filming,as you can see in the scene.

This is my fave slasher movie ever. Even though I love Scream and Halloween, no other movie has ever made me feel what this movie made me feel.

This reaction had me rolling, my dude, love your commentary xD

Great cinematography towards the end. At sunset.

I lived in Texas for a year. Don't go there. I made it out alive, you may not be as lucky. They hate gingers.

Bro he's SO FAST. He's like an NFL linebacker running full sprint with a chainsaw!

Nope. I chose to live in Texas and planning on staying here. If any of y'all have genuine questions about Texas I'll try and answer them.

You gave a great commentary and we're very funny and entertaining a lot of people who do these first time watching reactions too are awful you were terrific talking about this classic horror movie the scariest movie I ever seen was beyond the door 1974 with Jessica Mills her demon face still terrifies me to this day even though I've seen the movie over a hundred times anyway good luck and I'll be looking forward to watching some more of your reviews did a great job man thanks

I watched this film with my brother and parents one Halloween night, and they legit called my demented for watching something like this.

This is still my favorite Texas chainsaw massacre 1974 commentary dude every time you make a commentary on this and I pay it play it and I sure did I play it back I laughed my ass off man I mean you are truly the best commentator on this movie and there's been dozens of different commentaries I just wanted to comment on this again man just let me know if what other movies have you done well wait a minute I do have it I looked up on your subscribe button I see some other ones but I treasure this one so much I watch it over and over again thanks again man plus how do you deal with all those poisonous strikes snakes in Australia I couldn't live there just because of that

Leatherface just killed 3 people Pugga: is this dude okay mentally?

I Can't believe he was holding a real chainsaw

I heard the chainsaw was real & that it just didn’t have the chain on set. But honestly this movie is very unsettling and it sad that things like this really happen

It's not scary like a jumpscare. It's actually, truly scary.

That mark on Nubbins the Hitchhiker's face is a birthmark.

There are SOME cuts of the movie where when the hitchhiker gets kicked out of the van and sticks his tongue out, they dub him over with Franklin blowing raspberries so it can seem like it's HIM doing it. Seems you have the ORIGINAL cut. Nice.

The inspiration behind this film came from the life and crimes of a grave-robbing mass murderer Ed Gein. Made a lot of furniture and certain clothing (wigs and chest plates) outta dead people. He died while institutionalised. This 1974 horror flick was not the only fictional work to be inspired by Gein - there was a novel from Robert Bloch called Psycho (the Alfred Hitchcock film and the Bates Motel TV series are based on the novel) and Silence of the Lambs - the sequel to Red Dragon by Thomas Harris (along with the cinematic adaptation by Johnathan Demme). There’s other films within the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise. The best of them are Texas Chainsaw Massacre III and the 2003 remake and its 2006 prequel along with it, the Leatherface family origin film. Gunnar Hansen’s Leatherface is so popular that his incarnation of the character did end up in Dead by Daylight. And yes it was a real chainsaw used.

the house has been turned into a restaurant. i went there a couple months ago and i cannot describe the feeling of stepping into the very house... that same hallway, that same staircase... everything was there...

34:20 Gunnar Hansen's (Leatherface) scream was REAL! In the commentary he explained how they set up him being "hit" in the leg (a serious MUST LISTEN)... He actually felt like he was sawed into leaving him to SCREAM!

This move started the final girl trope 😫✨

I haven't started this reaction yet, but I just know it's going to be hilarious.

Texas is really beautiful. There are places like this way out in rural areas, but there's also cities, and suburbs, and such.

It Is In Fact Based On A True Story It's Based Off A Real Life Killer Called Ed Gein

The scene where the old man is sucking on her blood was a real thing that happened and all those skeletons and corpses were real too there was a lot of toxic things in this movies production makes the movie even more uncomfortable

That movie was incredible. Loved your reaction

Just started watching your videos and i love it lol Also just FYI this character is based off of a killer named Ed Gein. He killed and grave-robbed and when police searched his home they found body parts and human skin made into furniture, dishes and clothing. He had a belt made of NIPPLES. Anyway, love your content :)

This movie actually made the actors go into ttherapy

im in a a wheelchair and finding good freinds its not easy sometimes if im in a horror movie ill be the one to die first

Love to see it this movie will always give me chill and this my skin is crawling such a good movie

Did Anyone see how Grandpa was smiling a bit when Sally woke up

yeah the disabled person is sally's brother

Wow, so when you mentioned you had just made a strawberry smoothie, I thought, oh boy...

This was a great reaction. This guy is so underrated get 1 mil lol

This movie is loosely inspired by real events. Mostly Ed Gein, who is not a confirmed 'serial' killer. This movie kind of kickstarted gruesome slasher films that claim to be real to make it scarier, and tbh I hate that. I get when they made this, the idea was that it wasnt scary because it did happen, but because it could. But now crap like Wolf Creek and The Strangers use "true story" as a crutch because literally every person i have ever met agrees that if it's true, it's scarier. So movies use it to manipulate people into being more scared than they would be because a film is well made or has a good disturbing tone. This is just my opinion, im not gonna argue the quality of The Strangers of Wolf Creek thats beside the point

You weren't supposed to read at the beginning, you were supposed to listen to the dulcet tones of John Larroquette. Astrology did indeed exist before 2010. And yes, all people in Texas are like that.

I love this movie 😍 Leatherface is the best 🥰

Too late to say that to Tobe Hooper because he’s long dead. Rest In Peace Tobe Hooper and Gunnar Hanson (who played Leatherface in this movie)

He's freaking out. Where's all these kids coming from. Leatherface just wants to be home like Kevin in home alone and all these kids keep braking in like they're the wet bandits lol or sticky bandits lol.

“Making me read already” the stuff was being read to you😭😭

If im not mistaken... the skeleton in the wheelchair/ chair was a real human skeleton. The fact that the movie is linked to real life events makes it more disturbing.

Dude I know you get this a lot but you really are my favorite RU-vidr

Are you gonna be doing all of them because there is a lot like Friday the 13th, Halloween and others, great work Pug and keep up the content

Chainsaw sales went up dramatically after this film came out 🤣

Great reaction!🙂👍

Some say black mumba is still running down that highway to this very day.

It's based on a true story about a guy named Ed Gein. But Ed didnt kill as many people as the Sawyer family did. Dug up people's graves and did "stuff" to them.

This movie was based on serial killer ed geine he was real and this is the type stuff he did

Long before PG-13 existed (only G, PG, R & X [changed to NC-17]) Tobe Hooper used very little blood or gore in attempt at getting a PG rating. His attempt failed and had a hard time even getting an R

I don't know but you are alive when you watch this movie in a way you rarely get nowadays

0:40 this movie came out in 1904

Pug: The guy in the wheelchair is a fifth wheel. Me: HA.

Legendary movie, for sure.

I was expecting a sponsor for the blender. Nothing. Now I’m worried about the poor smoothie not staying in, considering the movie and the thumbnail. Welp, there was already a gag pause. Hoping for the best! Edit: you made it! I only watched this movie once, and it was disturbing. I wasn’t a major Sally fan, but by the time she was facing Leatherface, she won me over. She truly earned her final girl status. That dinner scene was so intense and unsettling. No wonder she had crazy eyes by the end!

LOVE THE VIDEOS HOPE YOU HIT 30K SUBS

Theres places like that in Texas but Mostly is city's

Oh man you couldnt stomach this i saw it at 9 lol
