The Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies have terrified audiences since the 1970s, but for modern observers, the wild behind-the-scenes stories are bound to draw more shock.

From the chainsaw-wielding Leatherface’s eerie dance routine to a blood-splattered family dinner, the sleeper hit established slasher tropes that would be done to death with future entries, remakes, and spiritual sequels. But be it Hooper’s gory comedy follow-up or Matthew McConaughey’s The Next Generation, the production behind these movies has taken a chaotic route.
