The Texas Chainsaw Massacre horror films began with The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1973) by Tobe Hooper. The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre film spawned three sequels as well as a remake, which has so far spawned its own prequel.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre was made in 1973 (released in 1974) by director Tobe Hooper. It was the most successful in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre series, and has entered itself into pop culture.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is considered the first of the 1970s slasher movies descending from Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho (1960). The Texas Chainsaw Massacre originated a great many of the clichés seen in countless low-budget slashers of the 1970s 1980s and 1990s. The most successful film to originate after Chainsaw s success is John Carpenter's 1978 classic, Halloween.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre plot concerns a family of cannibals in rural Texas, who abduct customers from their gas station. One of the main characters — Leatherface — is one of the most well known villains in horror cinema, notable for his mask of human skin, his blood-soaked butcher's apron and the chainsaw he wields.

Contrary to popular belief, the Texas Chainsaw Massacre does not depict factual events, but instead was (like the films Psycho and The Silence of the Lambs) loosely inspired by Ed Gein, who, while he did wear human skin, acted alone and did not use a chainsaw.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 was released in 1986, due to the original film's success. Although it managed to recoup its meager costs, the Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 was considered a commercial flop. Since its initial release, however, it has developed a rather sizable cult following of its own. Unlike its predecessor (which had minimal gore and a documentary-style feel), this film sports a wildly over-the-top, almost operatic sense of campy black humor, as well as an array of gore effects by makeup maestro Tom Savini.

Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre III is a 1990 follow up to the previous two films. It stars Kate Hodge, Ken Foree, and Viggo Mortensen and was directed by Jeff Burr. At the time, this was considered to be the first of several sequels in the series to be produced by New Line. However, it was not a success and the franchise was scrapped

Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation (also known as Return of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre) is a 1994 sequel/remake to the original The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974). It stars Renée Zellweger and Matthew McConaughey, before either of them became stars. Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation has a poor reputation amongst some horror film buffs and critics; but also has a core group of fans.
