WOW! There are movie reviews, & there are EPIC movie reviews. I have lots of viewing to do after reading this most excellent horror offering. I agree that The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is one of the best horror films ever made. And speak of the devil, if you ever find yourself in the Austin area, I highly recommend you check out the restaurant linked below. The food is very good, but the atmosphere is something else. Re-watch the film before you go. 🤘😎🤘

I don't participate in the Horror genre whatsoever, but I happily read through two-thirds of your post cuz I know you're enthusiastic and thorough. I realize it's a1979 film - and I wouldn't classify it as Horror - but regarding your point concerning blood-sucking as sex act - I adore Kinksi's penetration of Isabelle Adjani at the climax of Herzog's 'Nostferatu, Phantom der Nacht' (yeah, I prefer the German-language version). Kinski's sexual exhaustion at the end, so fantastic. *That's* one of my favorite films of all time, by - along with Bergman, my favorite movie-maker (what does' Gallo's Billy character repeat in "Buffalo '66"? (another all-time fave film of mine) something like "through all time!" - Werner Herzog.
