10 Horror Movie Characters Whose Personalities Suddenly Changed In Sequels

10. Leatherface - The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2

The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre depicted its chainsaw-wielding antagonist Leatherface (Gunnar Hansen) as a terrifyingly animalistic, mostly one-dimensional blunt object - a mentally disabled man who kills as instructed to by his family.

But The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 is a considerably campier affair - effectively a not-so-thinly-veiled parody of the original movie which presents Leatherface (now played by Bill Johnson) quite differently.

In short, the sequel gives us the horny Leatherface none of us ever expected.

Here he is hopelessly enamoured with human protagonist Stretch (Caroline Williams) and even thrusts his chainsaw around as a substitute penis, because why the hell not?

Some fans argue that this is simply a case of the emotionally stunted Leatherface going through some belated personal development, but the lovesick puppy depicted here is nevertheless a far cry from the ferocious, no-nonsense Leatherface encountered in the first film.

There's no denying The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2's stature as a cult classic, even if for many who loved the original it turned Leatherface into too much of a joke.
