'Psycho' (1960) compared to 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre' (1974)

In this blog I will be comparing 'Psycho' to 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre'. Both of these films were inspired by the real life American killer Ed Gein who killed many in his hometown (Plainfield, Wisconsin). The idea of using humans as the villains in horror made audiences fearful, it made them discover that the real monsters could look just like them.

From this comparison I have discovered that 'backyard killers' can evoke just as much fear as the supernatural and that there are aspects of both of these film that I could use when making my own horror film trailer.
