12 Famous Movies That Were Almost Given Absurdly Bad Titles

8. "Head Cheese" - The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Chainsaw. Massacre. Hell, even Texas makes it frightening. So what's with Head Cheese, your confused face is wondering right now? The name of a short film that director Tobe Hooper made before this one, apparently.
