This famous video nasty was one of the most influential horror films of the decade. It was partially based on the Ed Gein case .It's unremittingly grim with little music or humour to sweeten the pill and a grimy look that makes you feel sweaty just watching it.
A group of five friends including disabled Franklin ( Paul Partain ) take their camper van down to Texas to vacation at Franklin's old family home, reaching it after a disturbing encounter with a deranged hitchhiker ( Edwin Neal ). When two of them go looking for a lake they find a dilapidated house and the horrors within.
Marilyn Burns ( as Sally Hardesty )
Sex : Sally is braless throughout the picture
Death : Survives
Marilyn was a straight actress from Pennsylvania but after this, her first major role , she was firmly pegged as a scream queen. After the mid-eighties she became less active on screen , concentrating on writing and producing children's theatre. She was happy to embrace the Chainsaw legacy and appeared in Texas Chainsaw 3D in 2013. She died of heart failure the following year aged 65.
Teri McMinn ( as Pam )
Sex : Pam looks very fetching in hotpants
Death :The film leaves Pam's eventual fate up in the air but most likely she dies of suffocation through being kept in the cooler.
Teri was a local actress who didn't make another film for 35 years. She continued as a stage actress and a leg and foot model. She too is proud of the film.She is now 66.
