Horror Movies With All of the Scares and None of the Gore

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

In The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, a group of hitchhikers falls prey to a family of cannibals. Despite its name and gory legacy, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre actually features very little actual gore—a purposeful move by director Tobe Hooper in order to acquire a PG rating from the MPAA. However, Hooper's plan failed, and the film received an X rating, later reduced to R.
