The FBI defines mass murder as murdering four or more people during an event with no "cooling-off period" between the murders.

Fair enough. Though he did have a few hours to cool off between a couple murders.

They were probably thinking about calling the movie Texas Slaughterhouse or something, and settled on TCM later because it sounded cool.

Because it sounds like a more riveting tale than "Texas Chainsaw Spotty Killings of Only 4 People"

Probably when they were writing the fake news ads, someone came up with the haunting line This was one of the worst events in US history, and came to be known as Texas Chainsaw Massacre ~ and they juggled it around the production crew, and it stuck. Thats how things like that happen sometimes. Or some exec came up with it lol.

If you look in the house they have human bones and remains all around.

The family had been killing for a while, at least since the slaughterhouse started using the machine for cattle killings rather than people with hammers. They seemingly lost their jobs and resorted to cannibalism to feed themselves.

But yeah its funny how in the movie only one person is killed by a chainsaw (Franklin) lol The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is just a gnarly name that sounds visceral and brutal.

Love that movie

I wouldnt put F13 in the same league as TCM. Its just so dirty and realistic. Its a shame none of the sequels were very good.

Also: JEEEEEEEEEERRYYYYYYYY!

Seriously. No chainsaws are massacred at all. And even the ones that are in the movie I believe are imported, not from Texas!

I like Baskin.

Nothing else has the tone of TCM, though. I guess 1000 Corpses/Devils Rejects comes close.

Remember the days when killing 4 people seemed like a lot. You murder 4 people now and you barely make the news.

Because he killed all those other people before them. Besides, it sounds more important than, say, The Lone Star Murder Movie.

Sadly the MPAA and BBFC censored so many slasher films, only the first FT13th was eventually released uncut to my knowledge.

Yeah. I think the only F13 to never get a full uncut release was 7. The cut scenes have mostly been found, but are very raw and all side material.

Unless someone restored and released it recently.

We actually watched this in a Texas lit class I took last year. The professor was really into film so he assigned a couple of movies to compliment our reading. I had seen it before so was stoked to talk about but since the class was full of mostly 20 year old kids no one else had seen it. Ended up being a really fun quick discussion about the movie.
