The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) feat. Rachel Reeves

Horror Queers

Rev that chainsaw and break a window (or two) because we are celebrating Tobe Hooper's classic film, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974).

Hitching a ride in the van is The Losers' Club and Halloweenies co-host Rachel Reeves, who offers invaluable insight into the sound design of the film.

Plus: defending Franklin, iconic shots, treating people as meat, Leatherface as matriarch, and a lot of screaming.

Oh, and if you want more Ed Gein backstory, check out Joe's other podcast: Murder Made Fiction!
