Don't worry, this ending was cut, so caninically, he made it out, too, and is most likely STILL an Olympic wrencher. Ever wonder if he gets fans who stop him? At least back when he still looked like that? Also, did you notice in this movie, his corpse is too thin and doesn't have enough hair?
@@espunk1996 I think it is him (where would a random dead body suddenly come from between the end of the first film and this opening scene?) but I think the filmmakers cut it out because they figured it indeed didn't make sense that Leatherface would manage to catch and bring the trucker back with him.
@@Trademarc1977I agree; Leatherface and Drayton we're probably waiting to ambush him when he returned later that afternoon to retrieve his truck. You don't leave behind a sweet rig like Black Maria! I watched the 2022 Netflix "sequel" and was not impressed, unfortunately
If you watch the original film, there’s no way Leatherface would have caught the trucker, he was long gone by the time Leatherface did his dance. Plus, Leatherface had a severe leg wound from his own chainsaw!
This scene finally answers the question about what happened to the good samaritan trucker at the end of the original movie. Makes no sense for this very short scene to have been cut. It adds to the sense of continuity. Trucker obviously got caught when coming back for his truck. He ran off but realized he wouldn't get far without it.
I think that when Leatherface has finished dancing with his chainsaw, Drayton will have gone out with his truck to chase him, and much later he was found dead with the alternate ending, it doesn't match so much, I only give my doubt
This whole thing destroys the original The sheriff should've been named Jesus Maldonado The Sawyers that were left (grandpa Drayton leatherface and nubbins) were the last in that house now all of a sudden they have this big extended family that show up out of nowhere even though there are no phones The trucker was long gone before leatherface would even think about going after him but at that point what would be the point Sally and another witness (pick up driver) already got away They also messed up with the house it was too clean and well lit The kitchen looked too small and the blood splatter was exaggerated compared to the Butcher paper covered walls in the original The grandfather didn't look the same at all Why can't they ever get things the same If they did it once in 1974 there's a way to do it again in 2013 spot on.
And...why was this not the actual opening of the movie??? This opening is way better!!! It feels much more like a direct connection to the original film!

@@inaamishtiaq6322yeah in a sense even though it would’ve been a lot to clean up and hide TCM 2>TCM 3D the story from the 86 movie makes more sense even with Sally’s uncle tracking the Sawyers down than, Leatherface aka Jed/Bubba having a surviving cousin in her 20s even though it’s 40 years later and where do all these extra family members come from then on this alternate opening, I’m pretty sure the driver got away considering he was running like crazy then Leatherface who is mentally challenged/disabled who got hit with in the head with a wrench and had an accidental self inflicted chainsaw wound in his leg so yeah

I like this beginning more. It shows that despite the treatment he gets from him, Leatherface’s father does care for him enough to dislike the idea of giving his own son up to the sheriff.
@@ledsith The original movie never calls Drayton his brother. That was in the 2nd movie, which this movie ignores. The Texas Chainsaw franchise has like 6 different timelines. In this movie's timeline, Drayton is stated to be his father.
I could see Drayton both an older brother but also playing that father figure considering aside from Grandpa there isn't another male role model present. and I would say older brother because with the leatherface movie that came out some time ago it's almost suggesting that it IS his brother and that prequel is supposed to be connected to this movie.

I'm kinda happy they did cut out the bit saying he wasn't like or cut out being the other Sawyers while the others chuckled because it seemed harsh ESPECIALLY coming from the actor who breathed life into him in the first place.
Drayton referring to Leatherface as “Your brother” instead of “our brother” when talking about him to the Hitchhiker always indicated to me that he’s a father and not a brother. “Look what your brother did to the door!” “Take your brother and go get Grandpa.” “You left your brother alone.” No sibling refers to their mutual brother as “your” when talking to a fellow sibling. As anyone who’s ever made a “your mom” joke to a sibling can attest, the response is usually “it’s your mom too, idiot”.
I was heartbroken when I heard Gunnar Hansen passed away. The following year on Halloween, I dressed up like him as Leatherface. To pay tribute to him. R.I.P. Gunnar.🙏

not sure if you guys know this, but the guy in the white shirt and cap is gunnar hansen( the guy who played leatherface in the first film) i think it was supposed to be a cameo
more engaging than the one used in the film. still not happy with the mask and how clean the house is, but no one can replicate tobe hooper's magic. the road leading up to the sawyer house also looks more like a pine forest area than scorching texas. another thing is that the sheriff Hésus is mentioned on the radio in the first film, and yet now it is a different sheriff (he's actually off screen in the original, at the cemetery a local tells Sally to talk to the "guy with the flashlight, he's the sheriff"). I also don't understand the duck dynasty country folk arriving, I just can't imagine those isolated monsters in the first film have stereotypical country family that just walk into their bone filled house of murders and try to back up their family, when Jed is literally wearing a ladie's face that he cut off and there is literally a lamp with a mummified babie's face stretched over it in the dining room lol...
Cook: You did it now boy Letherface: Excuse me but when I and hitchhiker were trying to catch that girl you were sitting on your ass this whole time and did nothing Cook: HOW DARE YOU TALK BACK TO ME. NOW I WILL PUNISH YOU WITH MY BELT Letehrface: No no NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-
Did the sheriff say, "Send out son Jed"...? I originally thought Drayton was Leatherface and Hitchhiker's father but Tobe Hooper made it clear all 3 of them are brothers.
@@angelothehorrorfan5013The Sawyer's a family of cannibalistic red necks living in rural Texas. It's entirely possible Drayton is both the father and older brother
"he got away" from the area, the script doesn't say anything else, the other Sawyer family has a car and guns, they probably shot him and brought the body home to give Bubba
Why didn’t they keep this Intro???? I always wondered what happened to the truck driver, And I love how they talk about his brother who’s dead on the table
Probably because of plot holes I guess. The truck driver was already long gone by the time Sally got on the pickup and there's no way Leatherface can catch up with his one leg injured for the chainsaw. Maybe Leatherface waited til the truck driver came back to get his truck but i doubt it. I wish they kept the part with their brother dead on the table though.
I JUST noticed the guy on the hook is meant to be the truck driver of the Black Maria. But he looks to be 100 pounds lighter, and not black... this opening is a heck of a lot better than the one we got, but that mask Leatherface is wearing is absolutely AWFUL. Discount special at Party City pretty woman mask.
The mask and the shirt he have is not great,in original film it wasnt like white it was yelowish with lines and dirty cuz they only han one shirt,the mask looks bad.

This movie could have been pretty damn good if not for two idiotic decisions. One being the weird time differential of the main characters age not adding up to the beginning of the story line. Two being the weird ending of the sheriff just letting Leatherface go off to live a happy life.
Actually I felt the ending had an interesting idea given the history of the franchise's sequels and remakes. The 2022 film has a very similar element in which Leatherface has been hiding and being cared for after the events of the original film.
Exactly! I could've let the age part slip a little and pretend there was smart phones in the 90's...but I think this film should've ended the franchise. Have Leatherface die at the end.
So...it’s not much different. The only differences I see is the inclusion of the Black Maria Truck Driver’s dead body. And the Sawyers claiming “even for a Sawyer, he’s never been right.” It makes the whole “blood is thicker than water” story they’re trying to sell us on not work. So, I’m glad they cut that out.
@@jeffrousseau4033 probably he do, this scene was cancelled. Cmon, he run away and leatherface go after sally even doing that strange chainsaw dance, so yeah the guy probably go away
When I first saw this movie I was like where the hell did the other family members come from? But then I just theorized that they probably were the people who appear in part 3 and 4.
The one who said send out the boy and he has never been right even for a Sawyer is Leatherface grandpa and Leatherface great grandpa is Grandpa Sawyer in the wheelchair They added much more family members
I know this movie came out way before the game, but if they ever make another movie with a scene like this I hope they add the game exclusive family members, sissy, johnny, nancy, and hands.
What's the difference beetwen this opening and original one? Are the scenes edited differently? Have you added a deleted scene one here? Any dialogues changed?

@@omarhaq9635Interesting. I always thought they took Franklin's corpse to their other home in the second movie for some reason, but now that I think of it. That could have been anybody's skeleton because I also seen other wheel chairs in the sequel.
If you read Gunnar Hansen’s book on the making of the movie, he mentions that they’re brothers. So that’s one more thing this movie screwed up as if that list wasn’t long enough. Seriously, do the people who make these sequels even bother to watch the movie(s) that came before? 🤦🏻♂️

Some people may think that was the truck driver but at the end in the original film he ran too far that i don't think leatherface would've caught up to him with the chainsaw wound on his leg and the body in this film is too thin and the pants are the wrong color and the shirt is lite yellow and he doesn't have enough facial hair and he ran pretty fast which could mean he made it out alive
nope. it is a cut down version of this. less dialogue from the characters. you don't see the truck driver's body. you also don't see jed cleaning up the floor. lots more closeups and wide angles are missing too.
I like to tell myself this whole intro is canon to the original, as it fits so well, but the rest of this movie on forward is forgotten dogshit. Atleast this intro could tie straight into TCM 2022, which also has a pretty shitty story/new characters, but the after credit was great.
The one who said send out the boy and he has never been right even for a Sawyer is Leatherface grandpa and Leatherface great grandpa is Grandpa Sawyer in the wheelchair They added much more family members
Love everything about this except that they got the truck driver. But then again he's never really mentioned afterwards. Sally is mentioned as the only survivor so I guess it's ok. I still don't like it.
They should've got Farmers Insurance from Vern Schillinger who knows a thing or two about a thing or two because he has seen a thing or two, he would've even gave them full coverage policy, Vern Schillinger is one hell of an Insurance Salesman #1 seller 20 yrs in a row, Not only would Vern Schillinger have sold them insurance, he would've gave them a special policy. It requires little up front but pays off in the backend, But 1st he would've wanted pictures of Spider Man!!!
The guy hanging up with the yellow shirt isn't fat enough, and doesn't have enough hair, and Leatherface's mask looks too clean. The hole in the neck of the mask is supposed to be a diamond shaped slit, not a perfect triangle. And it looks like it's made out of Fleshlight material. The eyebrows are also all wrong. The mask they used way back in 1974 looked more real than this one did. All they had to do was copy a still image. What the hell HAPPENED, here??? What went wrong?
The metal dorr is actualu not the same if you watch the original you can se there is like a 4th part withch is less wide like this 3,also the wall at the metal dorr is to thick,wait until you se the head lamp witch looks like a shit.
Trucker got killed and hitchhiker is ready to be buried if you added just this 30 second scene it woulve made this movie 10x better idk why they cut it :( 👎
This reminds me of the Friday the 13th part 3 opening picked up after the ending of part 2, and then the aftermath of that film was shown/picked up in part 4. Not to mention Halloween 1-2 too!

It's amazing how much of a difference just a couple of seconds can make.
the guy who came with the boys is the son of Hal Hartman from Leatherface 2017 so he basically avenged his father and sister
Poor Black Maria driver! He was a wrench-throwing Champion worthy of the Olympics 🏅

The Sawyers that were left (grandpa Drayton leatherface and nubbins) were the last in that house now all of a sudden they have this big extended family that show up out of nowhere even though there are no phones
The trucker was long gone before leatherface would even think about going after him but at that point what would be the point Sally and another witness (pick up driver) already got away
They also messed up with the house it was too clean and well lit
The kitchen looked too small and the blood splatter was exaggerated compared to the Butcher paper covered walls in the original
The grandfather didn't look the same at all
Why can't they ever get things the same

For me in the original timeline Sheriff Jesus maldonado not sheriff Hooper in this film showed up to the sawyers like less than an hour later by that time leatherface and his family including grandpa were all gone by then to which jesus maldonado and few officers arrived and then stormed the sawyers farmhouse shouting “Muerto County Pice Department to which the house was dead and empty to which he and another officer made there way to the sliding metal door 🚪 straight ahead they opened it they went downstairs saw another metal door they opened it as they went it became a nightmare beyond belief they not only found sally friends and her brother franklin who are dead but found d other past victims that are skeleton bones including g the victims from the TCM game who Autopsy’s arrived soon after and identified them
So interesting that this is exactly the intro to devils rejects minus a actual gunfight
This opening would have been so much better!
It's already great
@@lionmountain804 this helps tie up loose ends though
@@THJamie yeah screw Lionsgate for abusing the franchise.

If they would have just stuck with this style and got rid of the plot holes the film would have been OK.

not sure if you guys know this, but the guy in the white shirt and cap is gunnar hansen( the guy who played leatherface in the first film) i think it was supposed to be a cameo
more engaging than the one used in the film. still not happy with the mask and how clean the house is, but no one can replicate tobe hooper's magic. the road leading up to the sawyer house also looks more like a pine forest area than scorching texas. another thing is that the sheriff Hésus is mentioned on the radio in the first film, and yet now it is a different sheriff (he's actually off screen in the original, at the cemetery a local tells Sally to talk to the "guy with the flashlight, he's the sheriff").
I also don't understand the duck dynasty country folk arriving, I just can't imagine those isolated monsters in the first film have stereotypical country family that just walk into their bone filled house of murders and try to back up their family, when Jed is literally wearing a ladie's face that he cut off and there is literally a lamp with a mummified babie's face stretched over it in the dining room lol...
"He gets a good lawyer" fr image leather face in court😂
He gone have on a human face in court hell naw u know they gone make him face life without bond 🤣
The Bill Moseley and Gunnar Hansen cameos were nice here. Bill who was Chop Top in TCM2 is playing Drayton (cook)
I just realized that was the truck driver on the hook I thought it was someone else for a sec
The grandpa looked so creepy and evil in this one.
It was the same actor too!! John Dugan was only 18 in the original. Then he appears as a cop at the end of Texas Chainsaw Next Generation.
Great grandpa
Cook: You did it now boy
Letherface: Excuse me but when I and hitchhiker were trying to catch that girl you were sitting on your ass this whole time and did nothing
Cook: HOW DARE YOU TALK BACK TO ME. NOW I WILL PUNISH YOU WITH MY BELT
Letehrface: No no NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-
Did the sheriff say, "Send out son Jed"...? I originally thought Drayton was Leatherface and Hitchhiker's father but Tobe Hooper made it clear all 3 of them are brothers.
They are inbred-
Incest? 🤷🏾♂️
He was they older brother in the first 2 movies, they retconned it for hin to be the father in the 3rd I believe
@@TheRobbyVerseno
@@angelothehorrorfan5013The Sawyer's a family of cannibalistic red necks living in rural Texas. It's entirely possible Drayton is both the father and older brother
I swear, _nothing_ about the intro to this movie was consistent with the original.
Why?
Yeah
Increíble, ya 10 años de la última Masacre de Texas lanzada en cines, para mí la última buena película de la saga.
If you would’ve used this and just cut before all the Texans arrived to burn the place down it would’ve been a 10x better intro
This movie really could have been good if it stuck with this kind of style.
The set for that house looks wayyyyy too clean
In the OG script it's implied that he got away, running through the fields at high speeds
"he got away" from the area, the script doesn't say anything else, the other Sawyer family has a car and guns, they probably shot him and brought the body home to give Bubba
There were no other members in the original movie @@Yisau117
It's obvious Drayton caught him
RIP Gunnar Hansen.
Yeah i do miss
RIP the legend
Why didn’t they keep this Intro???? I always wondered what happened to the truck driver, And I love how they talk about his brother who’s dead on the table
Probably because of plot holes I guess. The truck driver was already long gone by the time Sally got on the pickup and there's no way Leatherface can catch up with his one leg injured for the chainsaw. Maybe Leatherface waited til the truck driver came back to get his truck but i doubt it. I wish they kept the part with their brother dead on the table though.
I feel like Leatherface heart is kinda pure almost child like
The only reason he is a killer is because of how he was raised by his familiy
How many sequels to the original do we need ? 2, 3, 3d, and 2022…just remake it again or come up with an original story
Honestly the right thing was to make a reboot which we really follow the sawyer family and having finally a real origin story of leatherface.
@@kingMurdock3425no grandpa origin
I think the first film is fine as is though I'll probably tolerate the second film due to being made by the same guys
I JUST noticed the guy on the hook is meant to be the truck driver of the Black Maria. But he looks to be 100 pounds lighter, and not black... this opening is a heck of a lot better than the one we got, but that mask Leatherface is wearing is absolutely AWFUL. Discount special at Party City pretty woman mask.
Yeah man is him, but the actor is very different. But the music, his shirt, his him
The mask and the shirt he have is not great,in original film it wasnt like white it was yelowish with lines and dirty cuz they only han one shirt,the mask looks bad.
Real Texas Chainsaw fans know that mask is the pretty lady mask he wears towards the end of the original film!

Texas chainsaw massacre should have been the original and the remake and we left This franshise for dead like gold
This movie could have been pretty damn good if not for two idiotic decisions. One being the weird time differential of the main characters age not adding up to the beginning of the story line. Two being the weird ending of the sheriff just letting Leatherface go off to live a happy life.
Actually I felt the ending had an interesting idea given the history of the franchise's sequels and remakes. The 2022 film has a very similar element in which Leatherface has been hiding and being cared for after the events of the original film.
Exactly! I could've let the age part slip a little and pretend there was smart phones in the 90's...but I think this film should've ended the franchise. Have Leatherface die at the end.
After so many years watching this film being made, I never knew it had an alternate opening.
So...it’s not much different.
The only differences I see is the inclusion of the Black Maria Truck Driver’s dead body.
And the Sawyers claiming “even for a Sawyer, he’s never been right.” It makes the whole “blood is thicker than water” story they’re trying to sell us on not work. So, I’m glad they cut that out.
They killed the dude in the truck?
That’s what I was saying 😭😭😭
All these years I thought he got away😅
@@jeffrousseau4033 probably he do, this scene was cancelled. Cmon, he run away and leatherface go after sally even doing that strange chainsaw dance, so yeah the guy probably go away
I assumed he kept on running before this
@@kenXtripleI they probably retconned it
This is part of Mr Black Maria.... Spoiler:Is death 0:35
bru i need therapy, i found so sweet how he tried to clean the blood like dude, he's just a baby following his family instructions
Truck driver would never have died if he kept driving
I felt bad for the chicken in that cage it had no escape smh
Aw man, they killed the truck driver
Did i just saw you many times?? Btw if u don't remember, i think you commented on a Halloween Resurrection video where Michael killed Laurie.
@@jcalhorrorstuff really? I don't remember
@@scottylewis8124 And also some Final Destination videos too. Probably Lewis Romero's death?
@@jcalhorrorstuff yup
the guy who came with the boys is the son of Hal Hartman from Leatherface 2017 so he basically avenged his father and sister
They brought back characters from the 1st and 2nd movies... grandpop cameback after 40 years as well
I really liked the fact that they didn't used this opening, I really want the truck driver to survive.
0:36 not the truck driver😞
I love “ And he gets a good lawyer!” 😄😄😄
It's stupid that he killed the trucker, literally Leatherface cut his leg with the chainsaw, he couldn't have reached him.
Because of the marks one his face I’m guess drayton drove up and shot him
It could have also been on of the other sawers that were here but not in the first movie
Well the truck driver ran to the Sawyer home and he get this 0:36
Not for nothing, but even if this better opening was in place, the rest of the movie is STILL the rest of the movie. So there's still a problem.
This film was written by Adam Marcus. (Director of Jason goes to hell.)
@@scottylewis8124 😬
The Sheriff's voice sounds familiar. Didn't he voice a character in the original Modern Warfare 2 campaign?
When I first saw this movie I was like where the hell did the other family members come from? But then I just theorized that they probably were the people who appear in part 3 and 4.
The one who said send out the boy and he has never been right even for a Sawyer is Leatherface grandpa and Leatherface great grandpa is Grandpa Sawyer in the wheelchair
They added much more family members
Bill Moseley playing Drayton Sawyer is one of my favorite crossover moments in horror.
The guy that was wearing yellow t-shirt is now dead, Leatherface sticked him.
Damn poor truck driver
Bill Mosley great actor done some good stuff even another Texas chainsaw besides this
Oh no, he got the trucker! Took me a minute to realize that was supposed to be him.
I know this movie came out way before the game, but if they ever make another movie with a scene like this I hope they add the game exclusive family members, sissy, johnny, nancy, and hands.
Is that the Semi Truck in the beginning from the 1974 Texas Chainsaw Masscre?
Yes
What's the difference beetwen this opening and original one? Are the scenes edited differently? Have you added a deleted scene one here? Any dialogues changed?

@@omarhaq9635Interesting. I always thought they took Franklin's corpse to their other home in the second movie for some reason, but now that I think of it. That could have been anybody's skeleton because I also seen other wheel chairs in the sequel.
If you read Gunnar Hansen’s book on the making of the movie, he mentions that they’re brothers. So that’s one more thing this movie screwed up as if that list wasn’t long enough. Seriously, do the people who make these sequels even bother to watch the movie(s) that came before? 🤦🏻♂️
Doesn't Drayton know how much trouble he's in? Can't he hear the really urgent music?
Hats off to Bill Mosely who played the cook
Cool,thanks man.
Interesting, but I don't like how it does the truck driver dirty.
0:35, i think this is the truck driver from TCM 1974, leatherface probally killed him
I felt like they should have had sheriff Maldonado be the sheriff here, it would have been a good direct tie in
The only chainsaw movie I saw in the theaters was The Beginning.
That’s why I like the original better than this remake
Cook: You Did It Now Boy Leatherface: Bro what? Cook: Don't act Like You Don't Know Leatherface YOU SITTING THERE WHEN ME AND HITCHHIKER TRYING TO CATCH HER AND YOU DID NOTHING BUT SAT WITH GRANDPA Cook: Oh Really im To old and Worn Out For this None Sense Grandma Would never Let this happend Spirit of The Hitchhiker: he's Nothing He's Just A Cook

This would have been a better opening. It ties up the ending of the Texas chainsaw massacre back in the 1976 or was it 1974? I don't remember.
1974
actually it was in 1973 but the movie released in 1974
@@averydavis953 thanks 👍🏻
Some people may think that was the truck driver but at the end in the original film he ran too far that i don't think leatherface would've caught up to him with the chainsaw wound on his leg and the body in this film is too thin and the pants are the wrong color and the shirt is lite yellow and he doesn't have enough facial hair and he ran pretty fast which could mean he made it out alive
2:04 where did these guys come from
They spawned in for the boss battle
Way better opening
How is this an alternate opening? That’s exactly how the movie opens
nope. it is a cut down version of this. less dialogue from the characters. you don't see the truck driver's body. you also don't see jed cleaning up the floor. lots more closeups and wide angles are missing too.
I like that they agree to give up the boy (Leatherface) but also insist he gets a good lawyer.
I'm sure he would've had a fighting chance in court. Especially if they send him out with the human face on.
I don’t remember these many family members in the original film?
I like to tell myself this whole intro is canon to the original, as it fits so well, but the rest of this movie on forward is forgotten dogshit. Atleast this intro could tie straight into TCM 2022, which also has a pretty shitty story/new characters, but the after credit was great.
But is not canon
The one who said send out the boy and he has never been right even for a Sawyer is Leatherface grandpa and Leatherface great grandpa is Grandpa Sawyer in the wheelchair
They added much more family members
Love everything about this except that they got the truck driver. But then again he's never really mentioned afterwards. Sally is mentioned as the only survivor so I guess it's ok. I still don't like it.
Funny how you people thought they made this in 1974😂, they made this 2013 when they were making the new one
It was 2011
Movie was relised in 2013,and the original was shoot in 1973 come in 1974.
@@e.m.nofficial8317you both are wrong this came out in 2012. I saw this in theaters the day it came out.
They should've got Farmers Insurance from Vern Schillinger who knows a thing or two about a thing or two because he has seen a thing or two, he would've even gave them full coverage policy, Vern Schillinger is one hell of an Insurance Salesman #1 seller 20 yrs in a row, Not only would Vern Schillinger have sold them insurance, he would've gave them a special policy. It requires little up front but pays off in the backend, But 1st he would've wanted pictures of Spider Man!!!
The guy hanging up with the yellow shirt isn't fat enough, and doesn't have enough hair, and Leatherface's mask looks too clean. The hole in the neck of the mask is supposed to be a diamond shaped slit, not a perfect triangle. And it looks like it's made out of Fleshlight material. The eyebrows are also all wrong. The mask they used way back in 1974 looked more real than this one did. All they had to do was copy a still image. What the hell HAPPENED, here??? What went wrong?
And they use creepy cloth you buy at Walmart to hang in the windows....kinda sloppy looking
The metal dorr is actualu not the same if you watch the original you can se there is like a 4th part withch is less wide like this 3,also the wall at the metal dorr is to thick,wait until you se the head lamp witch looks like a shit.
Trucker got killed and hitchhiker is ready to be buried if you added just this 30 second scene it woulve made this movie 10x better idk why they cut it :( 👎
WAIT THEY KILLED THE TRUCK PERSON BUT HOW????😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
Maybe he ran to the house for help
A small nitpick but that's not at all accurate to the Pretty Woman mask in the original
Crap, they got Cleavland!
This reminds me of the Friday the 13th part 3 opening picked up after the ending of part 2, and then the aftermath of that film was shown/picked up in part 4. Not to mention Halloween 1-2 too!
Anyone else thinking about GTA 5 watching this?
It would have been amazing if they could have gotten the actual Jim siedow but sadly rip jim
They had a masterpeace on their hands men. The movie should never switch to the present Time. It was simple.
yeah they should’ve kept it in the 70s and to mid 80s timeline
Im pretty sure the family was with in their rights to dispose of sallys friends because they just walked up to their property and entered the house without permission
The family were serial killers long before
Grandpa is my favorite killer
I love this movie opening seen

Was the person that was under that bloody sheet the person who got ran over by the semi truck nicknamed nubbins The Hitchhiker
Yes
Turns out that he kill the truck driver after the end of the movie 1974's Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Way better opening!
So I guess he did kill The semi truck driver
Yea but is not canon
