"Whether or not you believe that "real" horror must have a supernatural element, Chain Saw unquestionably evokes the emotions that define horror, that are horror--the sense of dread, oppression, and emptiness, the loss of control, the glimpse of the unfathomable."

Chain Saw Confidential is fascinating look behind the scenes of the original TCM written by Gunnar Hansen, who played Leatherface. I buddy read this one with my friend Mindi, and we both really enjoyed it. It's such a wild story, and it's insane that this movie actually got made (and was eventually incredibly successful). The conditions of the set and costumes were kind of horrifying to read. It never should have worked, and it's amazing that it did.

If you're a TCM fan, I highly recommend picking this up if you can get your hands on it (it's out of print right now). This was a fun read, and this is definitely a memorable book.
