SCREAM OF THE DAY: THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE



The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) trivia:

The film was shot in chronological order.

The movie wasn't released in Australia until the early 80's.

The character of Pam, who was hung on a meat hook, was actually held up by a nylon cord that ran between her legs causing a great deal of pain.

The original script was originally titled Leatherface but was switched to Head Cheese and finally The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

The human skeleton in the house at the end of the movie was a real human skeleton.  A real skeleton from India was much cheaper than a plastic one.

The soundtrack contains animal sounds from inside a slaughterhouse.

Marilyn Burn's costume was so drenched in fake blood that it was virtually solid by the end of the shoot.
