The Legacy of Leatherface: Essays on the Texas Chainsaw Massacre Series

內容簡介

內容簡介 Tobe Hooper's The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) is widely regarded as one of the most influential horror films ever made. It launched a multimedia franchise that included video games, novels, comics, and, most notably, an ongoing film series. While the original film has been the subject of extensive scholarship, its sequels, prequels, remakes and reboots have received comparatively little critical attention. This collection is the first to examine the The Texas Chainsaw Massacre film series (the sequels spelled "Chainsaw" as one word) in its entirety, with separate essays devoted to each of the films. Contributors analyze narrative and stylistic evolutions across the franchise, exploring how each installment reflects changing cultural attitudes while also considering how it builds upon or diverges from the original. The volume offers new insights into the study of film franchises, demonstrating how The Texas Chain Saw Massacre's cultural significance is inseparable from the sequels that followed.
