"[First lines] August 18, 1973. News of a bizarre, chainsaw-wielding family - reports which were to ignite the world's imagination - began to filter out of central Texas. Regrettably, not one of the family members was ever apprehended, and for more than ten years nothing further was heard. Then, over the next several years, at least two minor, yet apparently related incidents were reported. Then again nothing. For five long years, silence..."

"Now... I'm gonna leave... and nobody is gonna stop me... [Leatherface stands up from the dinner table and starts screaming] You sit the fuck down and shut up! [Leatherface does as he's told]"

"If you're gonna kill me then do it! I'm not gonna put up with any more of your crap. It's bullshit!"

"My brother here is tired of what's-her-name's face and he wants a new one! It just happens to be he wants this face right here!"

"You get to running with the wrong crowd, wind up in the reformatory. No respect. No discipline. That's the problem. Family values have gone straight to hell."

""I propose to fight it out on this line if it takes all summer." That's Ulysses S. Grant. But you wouldn't know that, would you? Cuz' you're a bona fide moron."

"[whipping Jenny with a cattle prod] It is easier to resist at the beginning than at the end."

"The American legend returns, to bring you back to the cutting edge of terror."

"The Buzz Is Back!"

"Still buzzing after all these years."

"The legend is reborn."

"If looks could kill he wouldn't need a chainsaw."

"He's back. You're dead."

"[First lines] On the afternoon of August 18, 1973, five young people in a Volkswagen van ran out of gas on a farm road in South Texas. Four of them were never seen again. The next morning the one survivor, Sally Hardesty-Enright, was picked up on a roadside, blood-caked and screaming murder. Sally said she had broken out of a window in Hell. The girl babbled a mad tale: a cannibal family in an isolated farmhouse... chainsawed fingers and bones... her brother, her friends hacked up for barbecue... chairs made of human skeletons... Then she sank into catatonia. Texas lawmen mounted a month-long manhunt, but could not locate the macabre farmhouse. They could find no killers and no victims. No facts; no crime. Officially, on the records, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre never happened. But during the last 13 years, over and over again reports of bizarre, grisly chainsaw mass-murders have persisted all across the state of Texas. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre has not stopped. It haunts Texas. It seems to have no end."

"[First lines] On August 18, 1973, Sally Hardesty, her invalid brother Franklin, and their friends fell afoul of a bizarre, cannibalistic clan of serial predators. Ms. Hardesty was the sole survivor of that night of terror. She died in a private health care facility in 1977. A single member of the murderous "family" lived to see trial. The prosecution recorded his name as W.E. Sawyer. He died in the gas chamber in 1981. The jurors concluded that "Leatherface", presumed to be an unapprehended killer, was in fact an alternate personality of Sawyer's, activated whenever he donned a crude mask made of human flesh. If there was no Leatherface in reality, then Sally Hardesty may at last rest in peace... If there actually was a Leatherface, he remains at large, and the so-called "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" . . . was only the beginning."
