The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is a 1974 American horror film directed by Tobe Hooper, with a story by Hooper and Richard Rutowski. The film was made on a relatively low budget of $300,000 and went on to become a massive commercial success, grossing over $30 million at the box office.
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre was made for just $140,000 (around $700,000 today). The filmmakers, cast, and crew took enormous risks to bring it to life. Piracy deprives rights holders of revenue, making it harder to restore, distribute, or produce extras for classic films. It also discourages new independent horror filmmakers from taking similar risks.
