Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III is a 1990 follow-up to the previous two films. Briggs' cameo appearance was originally cut in editing but was restored for the director's cut DVD release of the film. The film features an appearance by novelist and raconteur Joe Bob Briggs. Unlike its predecessor (which actually had minimal gore and a documentary-style feel), this film sports a wildly over-the-top, almost operatic sense of campy black humor, as well as an array of gore effects by makeup maestro Tom Savini. Since its initial release, however, it has developed a cult following of its own. Although it managed to recoup its meager costs, the film was considered a commercial flop. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986) picks up where the first film left off. Although the film was marketed as a true story, it did not depict factual events, but instead was (like the film Psycho) inspired by Ed Gein, who acted alone and did not use a chainsaw. The film's most notable character, Leatherface, is one of the most well-known villains in horror cinema, notable for his mask of human skin, his blood-soaked butcher's apron and the chainsaw he wields. Its plot concerns a family of cannibals in rural Texas, who abduct customers from their gas station. It is considered the first of the 1970s slasher movies, and originated a great many of the clichés seen in countless later low-budget slashers. Texas Chainsaw Massacre released in 1974, written by Kim Henkel and Tobe Hooper, directed by Tobe Hooper, was the first and most successful in the series. In 2016 this was followed by a prequel to the series, Leatherface. In 2013, a direct sequel to the first film, Texas Chainsaw 3D, was released. In 2003, a remake of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, was released, followed by a prequel, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning. The franchise began when a video game adaptation of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre appeared eight years after the release of the film, followed by comic books and 5 sequels. The film series is ranked eighth at the United States box office–in adjusted 2008 dollars–when compared to other American horror franchises. Hooper, who had a hand in directing the first sequel, has not had any direct involvement with the rest of the films, aside from co-producing in the 2006 sequel. Leatherface and his family are the antagonists in all of the films in the franchise. The sequels have had various writers and directors attached to them. The original film, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, was released in 1974 and was written and produced by Kim Henkel and directed by Tobe Hooper. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a franchise consisting of six films, multiple comics, and a video game adaptation of the original film.
