Production
Development
"Since then studied Gein ,…. but I also noticed a Houston murder case of the time, a serial murderer who probably remember Elmer Wayne Henley called. He was a young man who recruited the victims an elderly man gay. I saw a story when Elmer Wayne … said: "I did these crimes, and I'll stand up and be seen as a man" Well, that seemed Interestingly, the conventional morality that was in that time. I wanted to know who was now trapped, she would do the right thing. So this kind of moral schizophrenia is something we attempted to build the characters. "
Kim Henkel
The concept of the film has been raised in the 1970's, while Hooper worked as a professor at the University of Texas at Austin and as documentary cameraman. Previously, he developed the idea of a film focused on the isolation, and dark forests, and continued to explore these ideas to think the concept of the film. It also allocates a local San Antonio news under the inspiration for the film, due to the graphic nature of the story value. Development was carried out using the job titles of head cheese and Leatherface. Hooper plot loosely based on the killings by the serial murderer in the 1950 Wisconsin Ed Gein, who served as inspiration for a series of horror films.
Speaking of influences in the film, Hooper cites the impact of changes in the landscape cultural and political. It is directly related to the deliberate disinformation that the movie "You're about to see is truth" as a response to "the government lied about what was happening in the world, including Watergate, the gasoline crisis, and" massacres and atrocities in the Vietnam War. " Other "lack of sentimentality and brutality things," said Hooper to see local news coverage, which has been tracking, "Brain showing all spilled on the road "has taken his belief" that the man was the real monster here, just takes a different face, so I put a mask in the literal monster in my film. "The idea of a chain saw Hooper in any entry in the hardware section of a crowded store while providing a way to exit quickly through the crowd.
Kim Hooper and writers original Henkelhe screenplayormed a company called Vortex, Inc. Henkel Hooper as president and vice president. Asked Bill Parsley, a friend of Hooper, to finance the film. Parsley then trained a company called MAB, Inc. and has invested $ 60,000 for the film. In return, the MAB belonging to fifty percent of the film and its benefits. Manager Ron Bozman said the increased production of players and equipment to defer a portion of their salaries until the film has been sold. Vortex is the idea more attractive by giving almost everyone a share of profits Vortex potential, ranging from 0.25 to six per cent (similar to mortgage loan points.) Due to the lack of communication between the vortex and the other actors and the team were informed that Vortex that belongs to only fifty percent of the film, which points to a half dollars of assumed value.
The crew had exceeded the original budget of $ 60,000 for the film during the editing process, which then totaled $ 140,000. Pie in the sky (PITS) donated $ 23,532 in exchange for 19 per cent share of Vortex 50 percent of the profits. This leaves Henkel and Hooper with 45 percent of Vortex, and the remaining 36 per percent divided among the 20 actors and crew. Skaaren Warren made a deal on an equal footing with Hooper and Henkel, with a share of 15 percent of Vortex. Skaaren received deferred salary $ 5,000 and three per cent of gross earnings (MAB combined and Vortex). David Foster, producer of the horror film The Thing 1982 had organized a projection Bryanston House for some distribution of company executives West Coast, and received 1.5 percent of the proceeds from Vortex and deferred charges $ 500.
On August 28, 1974, Louis (Butch) Distribution company offers Bozman Skaaren Bryanston Periana and a $ 225,000 and 35 percent of the earnings distribution of the film. Years later, Bozman said: "We made a pact with the devil, [sigh] and I suppose in a sense, we have what we deserve." Was signed the contract with Bryanston. After investors get their money (including interest) Skaaren labor costs and monitoring have been paid, and paid lawyers and accountants were leaving only $ 8,100 for distribution among 20 members of the crew. Finally, the producers continued to Bryanston for not paying them a percentage of profits at the box office. A court ruling Bryanston fined the sum of $ 500,000 to pay the filmmakers, by which time the company declared bankruptcy. Bryanston Pictures Crusaders in 1976, when Louis Peraino was convicted of obscenity for his role in the production of the film Deep Throat (1972). New Line Cinema has succeeded in Bryanston and gave producers a greater percentage of the gross profits Bryanston had initially paid.
Casting
Many cast members little or no credit as above. The cast of players was around Texas who had a previous paper or TV ads and on the stage and the actors who were known Hooper. Participation in the film prompted many members cast in the film industry. The main role of Sally was both unknown Marilyn Burns. Burns and had appeared on stage, and all at the University of Texas at Austin, joined its board of directors of the Film Commission. Teri McMinn was a student and worked with several theater companies authorities, including the Dallas Theater Center. Henkel saw his picture in the Austin American-Statesman, and called McMinn reached a reading. In his last call, she asked, using shorts. His dress was the most comfortable of all the costumes of the actors, considering the Texas heat that would last for the entire shoot. Icelandic actor Gunnar Hansen Leatherface got the role. In preparation for his role, Hansen Leatherface came to be regarded as mental retardation and who never learned to speak properly. Hansen visited a school for mentally disabled students and saw how moved and talked to get an idea of his character. Hansen recalled: "I was 95 years, 100 degrees every day during filming. Do not wash my clothes because they feared the machine could lose or change color. They have not enough money for a second suit. As I dressed [mask] 12 to 16 hours a day, seven days a week for a month. "
Shooting
The Filming took place in Austin, Round Rock and Bastrop, Texas, July 15, 1973-August 14, 1973, more than four weeks. The cast and crew found the difficult conditions work. High temperatures during the shooting occurred, with the summit on July 26 to 97F (36C). The lowest level during the filming was on July 31 to 83F (28.3C). The house is not cooled, and ventilation was closed because the stage is set for the evening period. The movie was filmed mostly in the Eclair NPR camera with 16 mm, inflated to 32 mm, low-speed film requires four times more light modern appliances. Due to the low budget, the team filmed seven days a week, 12 to 16 hours per day, while having to cope with high humidity. Much of the filming took place in an isolated farmhouse filled with furniture constructed from bones of animals and the use of a filler material such as latex to give the appearance of human skin. The crew cover the walls of the house with dried blood icons to give the home an authentic appearance.
The art director Robert A. Burns toured the area, picking the bones of cattle and other animals at different stages of decomposition, he used to trash the house floors. Film special effects are simple and limited by the budget. The filmmakers have found at least 100 marijuana plants back farm, belonged to the person who rents the house at that time. The local sheriff was called to investigate but have not arrived and the filmmakers are never reported. Blood was represented sometimes real. During the filming of the scene where Leatherface eats grandfather, the team struggled to get the blood out of the tube, then the index Burns was cut with a razor blade. Burns suit was soaked so the stadium was almost solid blood on the last day of shooting. The scene after Pam was hanging on the Meathook, when the first Leatherface uses a chainsaw, causing some concern for the actor Vail (Kirk). Kirk was about to be beheaded, and actor Hansen (Leatherface) said Vail does not move or literally be killed. Hansen then introduced the chainsaw running within three inches of the face Vail.
Press
At the end of the post-production, filmmakers have had difficulty finding a distributor willing the film market, due to its graphic content, But August 28, 1974, the distribution of Bryanston company has decided to distribute the film. The chainsaw slaughter was created October 1, 1974 in Austin, Texas, about a year after the shooting.

After 1976, the film was reissued to theaters in the first round all year for the past eight years, with full-page ads.
Hooper had hoped that the MPAA would give the full release, print uncut ratings PG for the minimal amount of blood shown in the film, the film was finally released by the censors with an MPAA R. The film was banned in many countries including Australia, Brazil, Finland, West Germany, Chile, Ireland, Iceland, Norway, Singapore, Sweden and the UK. After the first version, including a journey of a year in the London theater, the film was banned in the United Kingdom largely on the authority of the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) Secretary James Ferman, but saw a limited theatrical release because of various councils, including Camden Council, which authorized the slaughter chain saw, which was classified then 18 by the BBFC. Censors tried to edit the film in the sense of increased production in 1977, but in vain. At the time of the ban on the film, the word "vi" became illegal movie titles, forcing the studios to change the name of his film. This movie, Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers Hollywood Hookers has renamed, with a picture of a chainsaw to replace the word. The BBFC passed the film uncut in 1999. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre was released a year later in Channel 4.
Censorship in Australia was first seen Texas Chainsaw Massacre in June 1975 and promptly refused to register the printing of 83 minutes. The dealer uses Review Board, which upheld the decision in August 1975. The distributor has prepared a reconstructed version of 77 minutes, only to see it again prohibited in December 1975. In 1976, Australian authorities have banned the short version of the film. It took five years for the film to be reintroduced censorship, and the film was banned again. Greater Union Organisation (GUO) film distributors have been denied registration 2283.4 (83m 27s) print in July 1981. The reason for the ban was often gratuitous violence and high intensity. Print Filmways 83 minutes by Australia was approved for a R rating in January 1984.
