To each his own...

I could go off on what makes TCM the greatest horror film ever for days. Since I'm not interested in doing that here are some of the things I like about it.

-Leatherface is not the unkillable, omnipotent slasher hero. He cries and freaks out and is still scary.
-The part where Jim Siedow is driving in the truck with Marilyn Burns on the floorboard. He pokes her with the broomstick, then apologizes, then realizes he likes it and pokes her some more.
-Any scene with Ed Neal.
-Any scene with Franklin.
-The whole Sawyer family dynamic, especially Grandpa.
-It's basically Hansel and Gretel.
-The title credits.
-The cultural tension between the hippies and Franklin.
-Black Maria.
-All the movies it stole from.
-All the movies that stole from it.
