Tobe Hooper and Wayne Bell�s score (like the film itself, edited in Hooper�s living room) still hasn�t had an official release, circulating instead in bootleg or fan-assembled form. If, like many, you excise the twangy country originals from Texan singer songwriters like Roger Bartlett and Arkey Blue, you�re left with a proto-industrial masterpiece � hellish psychedelia cooked up on a minuscule budget. The score�s genius lies in its unique blend of diegetic and non-diegetic sound: metallic scrapes underpin the sound of shovelled dirt; the whirr of Leatherface�s chainsaw impressionistically blurs with analogue synthesiser; screams dissolve into analogue tones or blend with the whirring of drills. The effect is genuinely unheimlich � a triumph of shoestring atmospherics. #6: The 100 Greatest Horror Soundtracks (http://www.factmag.com/2014/10/28/the-100-greatest-horror-soundtracks/96/)
