Texas Chainsaw Massacre: 10 Things You Didn't Know About Leatherface

5. He's Headlined His Own Musical

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stF2ddDSM4k The thing that sucks about musicals: they're musicals. More often than not, telling a story through song and dance is distracting, especially when the actors breaking into song in the middle of climactic scenes launch into tepid numbers that you would never listen to independently. However, this 2007 short film, appropriately titled Texas Chainsaw Musical, avoids lameness by forgoing the schmaltz of stage productions and employing songs that work on their own. Sort of. The short is loud and glitzy and full of musical angst, as the anti-hero, now named Pleatherface, begins to wonder if killing people is all it's cracked up to be. So, of course, he and a chorus of bloody victims break into a song and dance number. It's actually sad that this isn't a genuine musical, as opposed to simply a comedy short. The concept is so bizarre and unusual that it could have very well have been the greatest thing ever. Heck, if Ash Williams, Carrie White and Jack Torrance can all get their day in the Broadway sun, then why not Leatherface?
