Countdown: The Top 20 American Horror Movie Posters--#3

[For the previous entry on the countdown, click here.]



#3. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

The image (I love how Leatherface's carving tool cuts into the red-lettered film title) and accompanying caption ("America's most bizarre and brutal crimes!...") shine with pulp luridness.  But what truly distinguishes this poster and earns it a Top 3 spot on the countdown is its oversized, interrogative tagline.  Never has a more gruesome question been posed to moviegoers.

Please note: Disagreement is inevitable; disparagement is intolerable. You can differ from someone else's opinion without having to resort to an attack on that person (any improper/insulting commentary will be deleted from this blog). So please remember to show some civility to your M.R. brethren. Thanks--Joe.
