"Texas Chainsaw Massacre" was the most genuinely nightmarish of all these "slasher" films.

@AngelofAnguish Heard of it but gonna see it.

[AngelofAnguish]

@spyrothedragon590 My third favorite (horror film)? That's a TOUGH one. For now or Right now, I'm gonna say Maniac (starring Joe Spinell).

[spyrothedragon590]

@AngelofAnguish I appreciate it man. Child's Play was the 2nd horror film I ever watched so it remains awesome. Nice list and what's your third.

[AngelofAnguish]

@spyrothedragon590 Child's Play? No need to worry. As long as or If YOU enjoyed, and STILL, enjoy that movie, then that's all that matters or counts. My favorite horror film? (The original) Psycho and my second favorite is (the original) Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

@AngelofAnguish Child's Play is first (I know what your gonna think but I don't mind) & 2nd is definently the original Halloween. Yours?

I was only 11 when Texas Chainsaw Mssacre came out in 1973....I thought it was a Comedy...Still do actually. Saw it on a double bill with The Exorcist......best laugh I had in my LIFE!!

I was watching this documentary just last night and I was thinking about how many nightmares the Texas Chainsaw Massacre has given me. Just that night, I had yet another nightmare where Leatherface was coming at me with his active chainsaw.

No other film has been able to do this to me.
