17	* DracoInLeatherPants:
18	** You read correct, people - Leatherface, especially Tom Hewitt. People under this mindset tend to paint him as a sweet man child who doesn't know any better, despite his series of murders and participation in his family's crimes of torture and cannibalism.
19	** Chop Top also has his share, even if his abusive and murderous tendencies cancel out any humorous qualities he has. Notably, this would not be the only [[Film/HouseOf1000Corpses role]] of Creator/BillMoseley to receive this treatment.
20	* EvilIsCool: Leatherface and his families the Sawyers and the Hewitts, whom they are both cannibalistic families, but the former for their LaughablyEvil BlackComedy quirkiness and their CharacterRerailment as a serious threat in ''YMMV/TexasChainsaw3D'' and ''{{Film/Leatherface}}'', while the latter for their genunine scariness and Creator/RLeeErmey as Hoyt.
21	* FirstInstallmentWins: The original film is considered a landmark film in the horror genre. None of the sequels have garnered praise anywhere close to the original, let alone matched its impact.
22	* JerkassWoobie: Leatherface. How much of a {{Jerkass}} depends on the film (outside of the whole cannibalism thing), but for most of the series he is a severely mentally ill and challenged man who acts on his abusive family's orders.
23	* TheProblemWithLicensedGames: The Atari 2600 game was an early example of UltraSuperDeathGoreFestChainsawer3000 (you play as Leatherface and kill little girls), and kicked off a small controversy in its time, but that's the most notable thing about it; it's a slow, clumsy, extremely repetitive game with weird collision detection and a core loop that gets old after fifteen seconds. Even the gore is rather dampened by nonexistent graphics and the decision to express screaming as a high-pitched drone that sounds like a smoke detector.
24	* {{Sequelitis}}: The original ''[[Film/TheTexasChainSawMassacre1974 Texas Chainsaw Massacre]]'' is widely considered one of the best and most influential horror movies of all time. Opinions on each sequel vary from person to person but it's widely accepted that none of them are as good as the original, with ''Film/TexasChainsaw3D'', ''[[Film/TexasChainsawMassacreTheNextGeneration The Next Generation]]'', and the ''[[Film/TexasChainsawMassacre2022 2022]]'' film typically being considered the worst of the bunch. The only sequel considered to have anywhere close to the acceptance of the original is ''Film/TheTexasChainsawMassacre2'', and even that is up for debate.
