2. 1:10 The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (radio spot, 1974) — The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is a 1974 American slasher film directed by Tobe Hooper, who co-wrote it with Kim Henkel and also co-composed the score. The film stars Marilyn Burns, Paul A. Partain, Edwin Neal, Jim Siedow, and Gunnar Hansen, and follows a group of friends who encounter a family of cannibals while traveling to visit an old homestead. The independent film was marketed as based on true events to draw a larger audience and comment on the political climate of the time, though while the character Leatherface and some details were inspired by murderer Ed Gein's crimes, the plot is mostly fictional.
