Both Hooper and his cinematographer came within inches of a live, running chainsaw to capture the infamous Leatherface 'dance' which ends the film. The movie has been hugely influential over the past forty years, but never equaled Rob Zombie's "The Devil's Rejects" comes closest. This is a film I have seen probably more than any other and yet I saw numerous things I'd never seen before, like the W.

Hooper also supervised a new 7. And it is positively packed with extras. There are four commentary tracks. The previously available Tobe Hooper, Gunnar Hansen and Daniel Pearl one is full of anecdotes, insider filmmaking tidbits it's particularly illuminating listening to Hooper talk about how he cut the film to increase a sense of dread and hilarious to hear he actually hoped to get a PG rating and general jocularity.
The new Tobe Hooper commentary made for this release he's 'interviewed' by his 'Making of' director isn't as much fun, but it's not simply a repeat either, with Hooper talking at length about his collaborators and just how he made the now unmistakable sound which opens his film. Another new commentary comes from cinematographer Daniel Pearl, editor J.
Larry Carroll and sound recordist Ted Nicolaou. The film may only run 83 minutes, but there is so much lore, so many tales to be told, that it really does support multiple tracks. Other goodies include 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Shocking Truth,' a lengthy doc on the making of the film in which we see the farmhouse before and after and hear how and why an armadillo replaced the dead dog of the script.
Gunnar Hansen conducts a tour of the house, which was moved to Kingston, TX and became a restaurant. There are deleted scenes and a blooper reel which appeared on previous editions, but also new cuts, like the first Leatherface 'dance' when Sally ran into the gas station.
John Dugan, the eighteen year-old who portrayed the year-old grandfather, also gets an interview as well as a segment on his makeup. The film spawned a virtually endless supply of copycat horror franchises such as Halloween and A Nightmare on Elm Street , but it still remains ground zero for any true horror aficionado.
