Those words appear at the start of the original Texas Chain Saw Massacre from 1974, spoken by a narrator who just so happened to be John Larroquette, the future star of NBC’s Night Court in his debut film role.
“The events of that day were to lead to the discovery of one of the most bizarre crimes in the annals of American history, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.”
While the horror film genre has expanded immensely over the past few decades, there’s still some annoying stereotypes that just won’t go away.
John’s voice is iconic in the original opening and we thought it would help set the perfect tone in our own intro.
