The Last House on the Left (1972)
No, it wasn’t much of a chainsaw they used in The Last House on the Left, quite a dinky little thing when compared to those used in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2 or the ridiculous giant in Hatchet II, but what this little chainsaw has going for it is legend. David Hess, who masterfully played the leader of the gang of bad guys, Krug, faced off with Dr. John Collingwood (played by Gaylord St. James) as the good doctor came at him with the aforementioned chainsaw. But in true 70’s/indie fashion, the little chainsaw was live! That’s right… no safety precautions, no gimmicked chainsaw. St. James was coming at Hess with a fully functioning, very deadly chainsaw as they slipped around on the floor. Although they surprisingly cut away from the actual chainsaw plunging into Krug’s chest, the effect was a complete home run and helped to cap off the gruesome finale of The Last House on the Left.
“Dexter” (2006-17)
“Close your eyes, Dexter. Don’t look.” The last words that Dexter Morgan’s mother would say to him before she was brutally murdered with a chainsaw in a shipment trailer, with Dexter left sitting in a pool of his mother’s blood until he was later found by the police. This particular chainsaw killing, of course, was the seed planted in Dexter’s head that would inspire him to kill scores of his own victims, trying to satiate his “dark passenger.” The murder of Dexter’s mother is indeed one of the more emotional ones you will see. And the massive amount of blood used in the scene creates an awesome effect. This moment was flashed back to on multiple occasions during the series run of “Dexter,” and each time you could feel his pain from the loss of his mother in such a horrific fashion.
The Chainsaw Sally Show (2010-12)
Chainsaw Sally is one entertaining girl. Created by the massively talented indie filmmaker JimmyO Burril and featuring his beautiful wife, April Monique Burril, as Chainsaw Sally, the project has been the subject of a feature film, two successful seasons as a web series, and now an upcoming animated series. The dialogue is wittily written by JimmyO, and April delivers it in a style only she can. Those of you who perhaps have not gotten to know Sally yet can do so with this great clip below, which served as a teaser for The Chainsaw Sally Show: Season 2 web series that was, to that point, the highlight of the Chainsaw Sally story. She’s funny, she’s sexy as hell, and she’s nuttier than squirrel shit. You can’t help but love Chainsaw Sally.
