Briggs' cameo appearance was originally cut in editing, but was restored for the director's cut version of the film when it was released on DVD. The film features an appearance by novelist Kinky Friedman as well as film critic Joe Bob Briggs. Unlike its predecessor, which combined minimal gore with a documentary-style nature, the sequel is a comedic horror film, filled with black humor and various gore effects created by make-up maestro Tom Savini. Since its initial release, however, it has developed a cult following of its own. Although it managed to recoup its relatively small budget, the film was not considered a financial success. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986) is set 13 years after the events of the first film. Although the film is marketed as a true story, it does not depict actual events, and is instead (as with the film Psycho) inspired by notorious killer 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 cinema history, notable for his masks made of human skin, his blood-soaked butcher's apron and the chainsaw he wields.
Its plot concerns a family of cannibals living in rural Texas, who abduct customers from their gas station. It is considered to be the first of the 1970s slasher films, and originated a great many of the clichés seen in countless later low-budget slashers. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, released in 1974, written and directed by Tobe Hooper, was the first and most successful entry in the series.
