Texas Chainsaw Massacre Movies In Order To Watch

Okay, horror fans, let's talk Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Trying to figure out the order to watch these movies? Good luck with that! It's a wild ride of reboots, sequels, and timelines that barely connect. But hey, that's part of the fun, right?

The "Chronological" Chaos

First, you could try to watch them "chronologically." This assumes there is a consistent timeline. Spoiler alert: there isn't.

The Suggested Order (If You Dare)

Here's a popular suggestion for a chronological watch:

• The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) - Obviously.
• Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning (2006) - Origin story!
• Leatherface (2017) - Another origin story! Wait, what?
• Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986) - Tone shift alert!
• Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre III (1990) - Different Leatherface, same terror.
• Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation (1994) - Matthew McConaughey! Renée Zellweger! Insanity!
• Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) - Remake time!
• Texas Chainsaw 3D (2013) - Ignoring everything that came after the original. Bold move.
• Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022) - Another "direct sequel" to the original. So many timelines!

Confused yet? I am! And that's before you even consider which versions are "canon".

My Unpopular (But Correct) Opinion

Here's my hot take: Just watch them however you want. Seriously.

Don't stress about the timeline. Think of each film as its own twisted episode of a really messed up anthology. You'll enjoy them more, trust me.

The "Fun First" Order

Here's how I actually recommend watching them:

Start with the original (1974). It's a masterpiece. Then, brace yourself for Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. It's so different, but so wonderfully bizarre.

After that, dive into the 2003 remake. It's a solid, scary update. Followed by Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning. It connects well to the remake.

Then, pick and choose! Feeling like McConaughey madness? Go for The Next Generation. Want something gritty? Try Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre III.

Just don't expect everything to make sense. Embrace the chaos!

The "Skip It" List (Maybe)

Okay, I'm just going to say it: Texas Chainsaw 3D is… not great. Leatherface (2017) is… a choice. And the 2022 Texas Chainsaw Massacre? Divisive, to say the least.

But hey, watch them anyway! Form your own opinions. That's the beauty of bad horror movies.

Ultimately, Who Cares?

The point is, there's no "right" way to watch the Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies. Pop some popcorn, dim the lights, and prepare for some good old-fashioned chainsaw-wielding terror.

Just remember to not take it too seriously. Because honestly, Leatherface and the Sawyers wouldn't want it any other way!
