You’ll never see this movie: A prequel to this masterpiece was made, but it’s lost!

For 50 years now, the Hewitt family has been terrorizing and dismembering those who cross their path. Fifty years after their degenerate son, Terface, lovingly pampered his chainsaw and made sure to provide the family with a generous supply of fresh meat. Human, of course.

Since the release of Tobe Hooper’s seminal masterpiece in 1974, it’s safe to say that the public has been largely lost in the midst of the plethora of films, prequels, sequels and other reboots. To date, there are no fewer than nine films in the franchise; The last one was released on Netflix in 2022. The difficulty of perception is also increased by the fact that all these works develop on different chronological lines.

Released in 2006, Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning is a prequel to the 2003 blockbuster Texas Chainsaw Massacre directed by Marcus Nispel, which was a remake of the 1974 film. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre of 2022 and his vintage leather look are the next Tobe. Hooper’s first film, not a sequel to Naispel’s film… In short, are you lost? It’s normal!

We’re going to add additional stone to the building, quite amazing actually, because almost no one has heard of it. Imagine if there was another Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie called All American carnage. Already filmed…but never released!

Welcome to Chop Top Sawyer!

This is on the Collider website Who goes back to this story, in a very interesting post. It all starts with The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, released in 1986 and directed by Tobe Hooper. In the movie, we can see a character named Chop Top Sawyer who is Leatherface’s brother. Played by Bill Mosel, his skull was horribly deformed from a machete blow he received while in Vietnam. And of course he’s just as degenerate as his brother and the rest of the family.

Directed by William Hooper, the son of a famous film director All American carnage There was supposed to be a Chop Top spin-off/origin story set 13 years after the events of Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2.

Press Top Sawyer

Because, unlike his fate in the 1986 film, he survived. Finally captured, he is placed in a mental asylum. During his internment, he told his past to a tabloid journalist who came to question him.

Between the present and the past, Chop Top tells the story of the Sawyer family and how they became cannibals. Until he ends up escaping the asylum and in turn commits the minor massacre that gives the film its title.

There’s a trailer, here it is…

According to Bill Mosel, who spoke about this project In an interview in 2013, All American carnage Initially, it was going to be a 5-10 minute short film. which turned into 60 Minutes. However, the film was never distributed and therefore never released. What happened ?

“I think there were big rights issues” says Mosel in an interview, Although the characters and the original story were created by his father. He adds: “There were also various financing issues that far exceeded the initial ambitions of the project. Anyway, it was nice to end up shooting more scenes than originally planned.”

He is a guitarist bouquet who ended up playing Leatherface, which I thought was really funny because he was dry as a bean, so he had to wear a suit to give it more depth.”

It was he who signed the soundtrack of this film. According to On the Texas Chainsaw Massacre News website, All American carnage It was intended to be released around Halloween 2000 to mark the 25th anniversary of the first film in the saga. This did not happen.

Crowdfunding Kickstarter Released in 2011 – quite a few years later – he specified that he needed $8,000 to complete the film. The fundraiser was a dismal failure, as only 18 people responded and put less than $1,270 into the pot… as noted, the film was in post-production at the time. The film has never been released since. In 2022, a documentary was dedicated to this lost film titled In Search of All American Massacre: The Lost Texas Chainsaw Movie.

Here’s the trailer…

Too bad we want to look at one, or at least both, of this all-American carnage. Fate decided otherwise.
