On this month’s terrifying We ❤️ Movies episode, we’re goofing on, and gushing over one of the all-time greats, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)! How incredible is the John Larroquette scroll narration? How much of this film’s soundtrack is taken up by people screaming? How horrific is that first hammer hit and the follow-up leg twitch? And that van had to smell atrocious, right? PLUS: Rolling out from Marvel Comics next year: LeatherForce, featuring Wolverine!

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre stars Marilyn Burns, Allen Danziger, Paul A. Partain, William Vail, Teri McMinnville, Edwin Neal, Jim Siedow, John Dugan, and Gunnar Hansen as Leatherface; directed by the late, great Tobe Hooper.
