Teresa Lobos – Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)
Definitely the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The first time I saw it, I was simultaneously disturbed and intrigued. It’s a powerful genre that can evoke such conflicting emotions in the viewer.
And though I don’t think it’s scary now, when I saw The Haunting (1963), it totally gave me nightmares. It’s one of those films that remind us that a slow-burning horror that relies more on psychology than blood can be just as terrifying.
