The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre's creepiness can be credited to how genuine it was. All that rotting meat, all those bones, and even the blood was all real. The director didn't have the budget to make lifelike props, and there were no novelty stores or suppliers for miles.
Much to the actors' chagrin, a house full of animal carcasses and blood-stained skins cooking in the sweltering Texas heat made for a lovely aroma.
