The film which you are about to see is an account of the tragedy which befell a group of five youths.

In particular, Sally Hardesty and her invalid brother, Franklin.

It is all the more tragic in that they were young. But had they lived

very, very long lives, they could not have expected, nor would they have wished to see as much

of the mad and macabre as they were to see that day. For them, an idealic summer afternoon

drive became a nightmare.

The events of that day were to lead to the discovery of one of the most bizarre crimes in the annals of American history.

The Texas chainsaw massacre.

That's right, Marys.

We are here today to talk about the incredible true story, the documentary footage from

1974.

We are talking, finally.

Yeah, 50 years ago.

We were finally talking about the Texas chainsaw massacre.

The Texas chainsaw massacre, I feel like this was originally going to be our Halloween episode.

But after watching the movie, it totally makes sense as like a post-Hawloven episode because it's, you know, the movie really is about being caught by surprise, by feeling like everything is fine, and then just getting

sucked back into this world.

It also feels very sort of post something.

It feels like it's, it feels also like a fall movie instead of,

even though it's very hot in this movie,

instead of just Halloween,

because it has no business being the scary.
