Its loosely based off Ed Gein and murders in the northern states but the film takes the idea of the inevitable conclusion to the demise of American Gothic. The director took Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho and The Birds and followed the conclusion of those worlds. How American's own desires, corporations, capitalism, and how little the country cares for the health and lives of its citizens is leading us to a world full of selfish remorseless people with low morals and lots of resentment towards society (cough, cough, school shootings of today, cough, cough). Also, it is about how the 60's and 70's were known as a huge time period of serial killers and missing people that still have never been found. The time period of windowless white vans and tons of "Have You Seen" posters. Its an artist's commentary on the potential direction of what we have to look forward too. Inspired by Alfred Hitchcock's films and Ed Gein as a template. But the actual events in the film and Leatherface and location are all fictional. Additionally, this film is about violence against women. The 70's is rife with exploitation films; blacksploitation, sexploitation, i.e. I Spit On Your Grave is from this time period. This film is one of many during this time to try to employ empathy in the audience about violence against women combined with the ideas above in the first paragraph. The old ideal family of the 50's and 60's is being shattered in the 70's but some people that grew up during those times are resistant thus resulting in an increase in violence against women, at least an increase in reporting violence against women. Lastly, its an important progenitor film when it comes to the birth of slasher flicks and the idea of the "Final Girl".

I will second much of a previous comment with a few additions. The 1970s into the early 1980s were a unique time in the horror genre. Every kind of evil got portrayed in some fashion and the directors/producers had no problem with rubbing the faces of the audience into a given theme. ("I Spit on Your Grave" is a perfect example of this with about 30 or so minutes of severe violence against the female protagonist). The 1970s, perhaps with the Vietnam War and the Civil Rights movement disillusionment, were a time in which you can name an institution and know that the public lost faith in it (especially related to governmental entities but it infected society at large). People into the 1980s started locking their doors and started over the next decade worrying over "stranger danger" involving their children. This is also why some things common in these early horror films strike a modern audience has careless and naive... like the windows being open, doors being unlocked, and protagonists being relatively fearless in investigating dark rooms or walking into strangers' houses. Last comment in this ramble; there is a reason Generation X seems to be the way they are at times. Anyone near the age of 50 saw these hallmarks and are old enough to actually recall the simpler times as well as the loss of parts of them.

Re: this being the "40th Anniversary Edition" - I don't think there are any extra scenes or anything. It just got a new 4K scan of the original negative, so it looks better and more detailed than previous home video editions. So you get all that gooey and gory goodness in super high resolution. :)

The 2003 remake is actually a really good movie, definitely one of the better ones.

Ed Gein only positively killed two people, most of the body parts he made stuff out of came from graverobbed bodies.

The most underrated part of HalloVEEn is the jokes that accompany it 😂

"I make jokes when im uncomfortable" Vee dont kid yourself, you just love making jokes in your reactions uncomfortable or not. Its just who you are and you make for fun comedic relief in these horror films xD Fun fact vee, the chainsaw used in the film was VERY real and the production had to work with the actors to makes sure nobody got badly hurt from it. This movie also inspired Riddley scott to make the first "Alien" film. Some people at the time even called the first Alien "Texas Chainsaw Massacre in space"
