The Texas Chainsaw Massacre by Justin Osbourn

[bitchhiker]

people in the tcm tag are always like. you gotta admit Drayton is really stressed out so it probably feels really good and affirming to beat up his disabled brothers who are dependent on him and don’t know of a life outside of that. Did you ever think about how good it feels and how much he needs that

[bitchhiker]

ok this is always weird to me because i post on here not actually wanting conversation or participation in “fandom” but I don’t know if what I witness is insecurity/inexperience with liking a fictional domestic abuser or what. to deny what is going on in the movie is actually scarier. on reddit they just powerscale how “evil” each family member is, and you can guess which one they pick as the nicest. despite everything

really sorry if this is a question u've answered a bunch already but can i ask where u got all the extra tcm footage from?

it's from this media book release of chain reactions from dark sky, a documentary about tcsm with some fun insights and a segment where Stephen king talks about nothing. for whatever reason it was packaged with a lot of interesting bonuses that completely went past a lot of tcsm collectors' radars.

i bought it for the reprints, which i'll provide some caps of…was intrigued by whatever "bbq edition" meant, but it seems to be a really faded purple version from a private collector with blown up audio. i had no clue the outtakes were completely new, never before seen on the web until i ripped them, which was a fun surprise. it's a really neat novelty to have all these beat-up transfers of tcsm to watch on bluray. i recommend getting it just to watch them and the outtakes.

what the sequels forgot was that the family already had canon names in the original…when hitchhiker is called first name Bitch last name Hog by Old Man Hog. his coworkers at the slaughterhouse intuited this name and called him as such which was great for him since he’s bad at introductions

[bitchhiker]

i dont like most merch to begin with but it's an additional blessing that tcsm merch tends to be so ugly. can you imagine someone with bitch hog eyeless cook draped over their body. and sure, cook SAID it...but does he BEAR the label like his tortured, sexually degraded brother...a victim of misogyny* as much as myself... as a woman with taste i would proudly wear a bitch hog t-shirt with HITCHHIKER's face on the back (*SARCASM)

ORIGINAL TERROR HOUSE - TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE

[uspiria]

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) dir. Tobe Hooper

[bitchhiker]

im always dying at how franklin's character arc (human value, meat) continues into online discussions among horror fans. it's always been there, i've complained about it for years, and yet it festers and grows to parodic extremes. perhaps extending the work of the cannibals who neglected to tie him up and torture him first. assuming we are not counting murderous monster-villains in the genre about the most revolting and abject aspects of humanity, you will still have plenty of bigots and rapists. and in rating unlikeable characters horror fans are like.

franklin was FAT

plus he sucked for being a wheelchair user in an inaccessible world. so is he not a teenager too, in these reddit users’ minds, who may have not always been "patient and understanding" or is it too much for any disabled person, dependent on others by necessity, to expect his family and friends, who purport to care about him even if the wider society doesn't, to not leave him stranded, to sympathize with how bad it must have felt to have been attacked by a stranger he can't run from, etc. surely this weird distaste for franklin, prince of hell, never carries over to disabled people irl

[bitchhiker]

there is slight #nuance to it regarding the ableist circumstances of the character's existence. my sympathy for marilyn burns, how she was treated on set, that she had to endure such unsafe and physically arduous conditions bleeds into my view of her character, sally. likewise, paul partain was not disabled himself, thought his character, franklin, deserved all he got, and for the sake of ""method acting"" was allegedly rude to the other cast members; he had no reason to do all that. and so in behind the scenes material you will see the cast, mainly gunnar hanson, genuinely a worse on-set menace himself who really did cut marilyn burns's finger out of frustration and joked about her crying about it, complain about franklin's character, influenced by his perception of the actor. horror fans who collect trivia (ex. dead meat) repeat this and franklin being annoying and inviting his fate becomes the only way they can see it, because perhaps many horror fans are breathless consumers and do not like to analyze anything they watch. still, interestingly, the only thing i've seen tobe hooper say in commentary, prompted by gunnar complaining about the character, is that "he was having a bad day."

but i never see anything of the inherent tastelessness of the casting addressed in discussions about franklin's unlikeability, the vector for easy updoots on social media. instead people admit that they too would ignore their disabled friend as much as possible if they deigned to include them on their trip. the characters in the van were average people and ableism is the average value to hold
