Texas Chainsaw Massacre "Leatherface" Men's T-Shirt

This one's pretty simple... best cult / horror movie ever made. period.

Being an intimate fan of many movies, books and music artists... it becomes more-and-more difficult to choose true favorites... there are so many great works of art out there, how do you choose just one?!?

When push comes to shove, or shove comes to dismemberment... I can honestly say, without a shadow of a doubt, that The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is the most well realized horror epic ever captured on film... only one other movie I've ever seen required me to ask myself... "is this real?"

That would be "Sid & Nancy"... since Gary Oldmans portrayal of Sid Vicious was so incredibly believable (and admittedly, my knowledge of the Sex Pistols story was lacking at the time)... that brand of storytelling takes real magic, to convince the viewer so deeply, they feel like they're watching something actually happening.

TCSM does just that. Director Toby Hooper built a world where those in it are disturbingly realistic... despite their insane psychological personas and extreme physical scars... you know, deep down, these people are out there in the real world somewhere... and for all you know, you're accidentally watching a really weird snuff film (because we all know those don't exist).

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is more real than it is fake... making it wildly riveting, and truly scary.

Trivia: Did you know the opening introduction voice-over was done by John Laroquette... aka Dan Fielding, the sex-crazed prosecutor / lawyer in the TV sitcom 'Night Court'... yeah, really... how he managed to score the TCSM intro almost a decade before he made it to sitcom stardom is quite a trip:

"Graverobbing in Texas is this hour's top news story. An informant led officers of the Muerto County Sheriff's Department to a cemetery just outside the small rural Texas community of Newt early this morning. Officers there discovered what appeared to be a grisly work of art: the remains of a badly decomposed corpse wired to a large monument. A second body was found in a ditch near the perimeter of the cemetery. Subsequent investigation has revealed at least a dozen empty crypts, and it's feared more will turn up as the probe continues. Deputies report that in some instances only parts of a corpse have been removed, the head or in some cases the extremities removed, the remainder of the corpse left intact. Evidence indicates the robberies have occurred over a period of time. Sheriff Jesus Maldonado refused to give details in the ghoulish case, and said only that he did have evidence linking the crime to elements outside the state. Area residents have reportedly been converging on the cemetery, fearing the remains of relatives have been removed. No suspects are in custody as the investigation at the scene continues."
