Product Information
When The Texas Chain Saw Massacre first hit movie screens in 1974 it was both reviled and championed. To critics, it was either "a degrading, senseless misuse of film and time" or "an intelligent, absorbing and deeply disturbing horror film." However it was an immediate hit with audiences. Banned and celebrated, showcased at the Cannes film festival and included in the New York MoMA's collection, it has now come to be recognized widely as one of the greatest horror movies of all time. A six-foot-four poet fresh out of grad school with limited acting experience, Gunnar Hansen played the masked, chain-saw-wielding Leatherface. His terrifying portrayal and the inventive work of the cast and crew would give the film the authentic power of nightmare, even while the gritty, grueling, and often dangerous independent production would test everyone involved, and lay the foundations for myths surrounding the film that endure even today. Critically-acclaimed author Hansen here tells the real story of the making of the film, its release, and reception, offering unknown behind-the-scenes details, a harrowingly entertaining account of the adventures of low-budget filmmaking, illuminating insights on the film's enduring and influential place in the horror genre and our culture, and a thoughtful meditation on why we love to be scared in the first place.

"Who knew Leatherface could wield a pen as wonderfully as he swings a chainsaw? In his addictive Chain Saw Confidential , Gunnar Hansen writes a smart, funny and wildly entertaining account of making one of the greatest triumphs in cinematic history. Packed full of surprising insights and candid backstage anecdotes, it's an essential read for genre fans and a true delight for anyone who loves a great Texas yarn."." -Jason Zinoman, author of Shock Value, "From the scripting through production-chronicled in terms of the movie's chronology, not the order of shooting-to Texas Chainsaw's reception and reputation, every bloody nook and cranny is explored here, revealing many details that will likely surprise even fans who think they've heard it all." - Fangoria -- -, "Who knew Leatherface could wield a pen as wonderfully as he swings a chainsaw?

I am just grateful this excellent read is not titled "Leatherface Speaks!" " - John Landis, director of An American Werewolf in London, "10 out of 10. A film that has managed to creep that deeply under the skin of the audience's consciousness MUST have had a truly warped and strange gestation and creation, and finally the truth can be told, by someone who was actually there at the time. Not a friend's cousin, not a second-hand account from a third party, but an honest to goodness eye witness. The actor behind the role of Leatherface, Gunnar Hansen, a sensitive and gentle writer of poetry, has penned a complete account of the filming of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, and believe us it is a riveting and stunningly well written book... can't recommend this highly enough. Chain Saw Confidential is an absolute MUST read for any horror or independent film fan. " -Starburst Magazine, "Straight from the cracked lips of Leatherface himself comes this behind-the-scenes story of the film that changed the face of horror for all time. A terrific page-turning read, that like The Texas Chain Saw Massacre itself, doesn't skimp on the blood, sweat, or tears-beautifully told by the great Gunnar Hansen, who lived to tell the tale." -Stuart Gordon, director of Re-Animator, "If you've ever wondered what it was like to work on TCM--and I know I have--this may be as close as you'll get. Gunnar leads you through the making of the film so intimately and vividly that you really a feel a part of it. The innocence and ignorance, the dedication and commitment, with more than a dash of downright madness, through the extraordinary aftermath (the missing millions, the whirlwind of opprobrium dumped on the movie by dumb critics) to the film's triumphant rise to its rightful place as the most influential horror film of the last forty years. It's all here, presented with wonderful style and wit by the Man with the Mask and the Saw himself. Whether you love the movie or hate it, whether you're a fan of horror or despise the genre, this is a must-read." -Doug Bradley, actor, Hellraiser, "10 out of 10.
