1. Oh yes. I rented from one of the small video shops in town, over one night at a friend's house. My parent's wouldn't have let me watch it, so that always made it even more exciting. This was VHS of course, and it blew us away. I even remember realizing back then that there wasn't much blood, that Hooper implied much more than he showed, and that made it even more terrifying. Also, just the chance of it all, that these kids could be anybody anywhere, scared me too.
2. Yes, at the time, I'd buy Fangoria issues whenever I actually saved some allowance money. Of course, I'd read about it plenty in there.
3. Like I said, we were blown away. That year for Hallowe'en, my friend and I argued who would dress up as Leatherface. He ended up doing it. Asshole.
4. Countless times. It's absolutely one of my favorite horror films ever.
5. Yes:
