Sally and, even moreso in my opinion, Franklin were memorable characters. After the first time I saw this movie, I was on my way back home and I saw a man in a wheelchair on the side of the road, and I thought to myself "Hey! It's Franklin!" And to this day, that character is still one of the reasons we love to watch TCM. I think the remake was lacking because they didn't have a character quite like him.

Obviously this is my favorite horror film. I think one thing that makes this film great is how low budget and bad the editing is. Also, the unknown actors make the whole thing believable. I couldn't care less if Mary Camden was slaughtered by Leatherface, but Sally was a different story entirely.

Movies like this are my favorite to watch - 70's low budget thrillers like TCM, The Hills Have Eyes, The Last House on the Left, Halloween... They're classics.
