"Texas Chainsaw Massacre" (the original) or "The Hills Have Eyes" (original) What movie scared you more, pt 3-last one

Hills for me. I first saw it 11 years ago and felt like I had been violated. I was almost crying and felt like I needed to shower. It didn't help that I saw it like midnight and my roommate at the time was not at home.

Now, the real life story behind Massacre-Ed Gein scares me.

Easily the original "Chainsaw". The film was shot like a grainy 70's docu so it made you feel like you were really watching these events happen.

The narrator's voice even kind of creeped me out too (until I found out it was John Larroquette). That took some of the scare factor out of it.

I prefer "Chainsaw" as a movie, but "Hills" is much scarier to me. "Chainsaw" doesn't scare me at all. I laugh more than anything lol

Good question. For anything, the chainsaw was exactly why TCM has a higher scare factor.

Chainsaw ALL THE WAY!

The sheer brutality (even if not as gory by today's standards) alone does it for me.
I think it holds up also.

I remember renting this film with my mom on vhs and deciding to sneak a peek while she was at work. I got as far as the first time he slams that metal door and nearly shit my pants. I took it out and waited to watch it with my mommy. lol

Texas Chainsaw scared me the most. I think it was because I was very young when I first saw it. I didn't see The Hills until I was much older.

The scene where leatherface hangs the chick on the meat hook still gives me the creeps.

"Chainsaw" all the way for me. The original "Hills" didn't scare me at all. But, the remake? nod excited

Yeah I agree..Leatherface grabbing/dragging that victim and slamming that metal door scared the hell out of me.

I understand there's going to be another remake of the 1st "Chainsaw" coming out next year.

I found Hills to be way more scary & disgusting.

Chainsaw annoyed me as many times I was thinking of ways they could have gotten away, I kept yelling Run Bitch!

Hills is just wrong on so many levels. I'm still getting over it.
pray Peace in the House of Prince.
