Hello All I have Rewritten the intoduction to sound correct and hopefully meet Wikipedia's expectation. ( Halgo123 ( talk)) —Preceding undated comment added 16:54, 12 January 2010 (UTC).
There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:The Texas Chainsaw Massacre which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. — RM bot 16:00, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
The intro's description of the sequels was confusing and contained at least two errors (there was no "2012" film, and there were not "three" direct sequels to the 1974 film). I've rewritten that part and moved it to a section (currently called #Continuity. However, I haven't seen all these films, so it would be great if someone could review my work. Thanks. Gronky ( talk) 12:55, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
I concur. The lead is just to say what the article is about and cover main points. Continuity is NOT a main point about this franchisee.. It's probably the smallest of points and is covered by the plot overviews. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 12:17, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
The set index article (formerly disambiguation page) is totally redundant to the franchise page. Since the 1974 original film is popular, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre should be redirected to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. The remake and the franchise are not that popular. George Ho ( talk) 21:35, 23 November 2013 (UTC)
Comment I agree that The Texas Chainsaw Massacre should be redirected to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, but a merge is unnecessary. I don't think The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre are sufficiently different from each other to be treated as separate titles. In that case, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre should be redirected to the primary topic, and the franchise article left where it is. Betty Logan ( talk) 13:35, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

Well since I was working on expanding the article on the character, I just thought I should do a little work on this article as well. This will only be a minor contribution considering all of the other articles I have committed myself to expanding. I always seem to take on more than I can handle and only later do I figure out that the articles I have committed myself to working on are a lot bigger in scope that I originally thought they were (sighs). But enough about my "issues" I did a little research as to the structure of franchise articles and I noticed that it includes the following structure: Films
Television (If any) Literature
Documentaries (If any) Video Games Merchandise Impact
Since We already have Overview, Future, Comic Book, and Video Game information in the article; all we need is to do some copy edits from the different articles in the franchise for the Development, Music, Reception, Novels and Online stories (if any) Documentaries, Merchandise, and Impact sections/sub-sections. The Merchandise section will be a little difficult but we can do it. I can lend what little help I can on the development sub-section (copy edits, and rewrites). I can't wait to see the end result of this article.-- Paleface Jack ( talk) 18:23, 16 December 2017 (UTC)
Also, someone keeps copy/pasting bits from Leatherface (2017 film)#Future across Texas Chainsaw articles without giving attribution. Stop please. Dark knight 2149 01:55, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
Is there any reason whatsoever to delete the page for the new film ( Texas Chainsaw Massacre (upcoming film))? It's a movie in a quite known franchise, starring a Golden Globe nominee, produced by a well-known producer, has completed filming, and even has a teaser poster out on IMPawards. And presumably Elsie Fisher's other upcoming movie My Best Friend's Exorcism (film) should be deleted also. All Hallow's Wraith ( talk) 13:52, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
There are multiple problems that I see with this information---"Crossover content from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise has appeared in the video games Mortal Kombat X,[49][50] Dead by Daylight,[51] Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Warzone[52] respectively."
First, it is in a section titled "Video games", and these are not games based on this franchise. So, the section isn't appropriate. There would need to be a cultural impact section, similar to Friday the 13th (franchise)#Impact that discusses the film's impact on culture, which can include other media using things from TCM.
Second, there isn't "crossover content" with things like Mortal Kombat or Dead by Daylight, they merely use Leatherface. That has more to do with a particular character than the franchise as a whole. No, saying that a film showing the origins of Leatherface isn't about the franchise is a fallacy. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 15:50, 6 October 2021 (UTC)
Yes...that's how copyrights work. That is a legal requirement in order to use the likeness of the character. I'm not sure what you're not understanding about that. It doesn't make it a franchise-based game. If they did not get the license to use the character, they would have been sued, as (outside of parody) you cannot use content without permission. That doesn't mean that it is connected to a franchise's content. Legendary Entertainment (or whomever the owner is) was paid a fee for licensing out the character for use; they aren't getting continued payment because of the success of DbD, MK, etc. It's the same if you were to think of it like Spider-Man (prior to Captain American Civil War) or the Fantastic Four/X-Men. They were licensed out to another studio for a fee, but those film series are not part of the MCU, even though those characters are from Marvel. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 14:54, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
" This table only shows characters that have appeared in three or more films in the series." Except, of course, characters such as Ryan and Vanita, who only appeared in two films, or Nikki and Uncle Monty, who only appeared in one. 104.153.40.58 ( talk) 14:52, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
