Actors Who Were Traumatized By Their Most Intense Roles

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre

Poor Marilyn Burns had no idea what was in store for her at the dinner table. Hooper confirmed that the dinner scene was easily the most intense part of the film. In fact, the cast and crew had all gone "slightly insane by then."

"The whole dinner scene is burned into my memory," he said. "I just think because of the misery of it. At that point, we were really just on the verge of mental collapse. And Marilyn told me how awful it was for her because she was terrified—just being tied to a chair and then having these men looming over her constantly, she said it was really unnerving."
