This chapter looks at how the chainsaw and its distinctive sounds do not so much provide the core horror moments in Texas Chainsaw Massacre as complement and crystallize a broader set of audiovisual impressions that engender it. In particular, the film’s suspense and shock sequences
are graphically rendered through a series of intense and sonically inventive sound sequences that draw on pre-recorded music, score, human vocalization and skilfully blended sound effects.
