You just finished viewing the new Texas Chainsaw Massacre film on Netflix, and if you were
clever, you stuck around until the end to see the Texas Chainsaw Massacre after credits
sequence.
Now your mind is racing, and you're asking yourself, "What does it all mean?"
"What does it all mean?" says the narrator.
Of all, for the majority of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre's 83-minute runtime, it's not that
deep.
Leatherface wields a massive chainsaw and murders people with it.
You don't even need to have seen the other seven films in the genre because the 2022
Texas Chainsaw Massacre is regarded a direct sequel to the 1974 film The Texas Chainsaw
Massacre.
For the sake of this new film, they are not considered canon.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre end credits scene, on the other hand, may catch you off guard.
Or maybe you just want to know who survives by skipping ahead.
Whatever your motivation, here's all you need to know about the movie's post-credits scene.
Melody (Sarah Yarkin) is a young San Francisco entrepreneur with a plan to convert a near-ghost
town in rural Texas into a wealthy elitist tourism and real estate destination.
Lila (Elsie Fisher), her younger sister, is dragged along with her to a meeting with possible
investors in town.
Melody is hoping that Lila would join her in Texas so that they can be together after
a tragic tragedy at her school.
When Melody, Lila, and their pals arrive in Harlow, Texas, they find something in the
town that their investors don't want them to see: a Confederate flag.
They attempt to get rid of it.
They presume the house flying it is abandoned, so when an elderly woman asks what they are
doing in her home, they are taken aback.
The elderly lady offers delicious tea to her unexpected visitors.
She claims the house is an ancient orphanage she used to run for over 50 years.
The old lady becomes distraught when Melody hesitantly informs her that the house has
been seized by the bank and that she must go.
A frightening person arrives in the stairway while the old lady is frightened.
His face is hidden from view.
The elderly lady instructs the man to return to his room since she is alright.
She informs Melody, "He's the last of my guys."
"He need particular attention.
I can't be here since he doesn't do well outside."
When the cops arrive to evict the elderly woman, she falls in terror.
The same hulking figure from earlier grabs her and transports her to the hospital in
a police car.
Jessica Allain, who plays Melody's friend, volunteers to accompany them to the hospital
so that she may inform Melody that the woman is well.
Lila gets a horrifying glimpse of the towering figure's face in shadow as they drive away,
and all she sees is an eye.
That menacing figure, as you may have surmised, is none other than Leatherface (Mark Burnham),
aka the chainsaw-wielding killer initially depicted by Gunnar Hansen in the 1974 Texas
Chainsaw Massacre film.
Leatherface embarks on a violent spree after the orphanage mother dies on the route to
the hospital, murdering everyone in the vehicle with his chainsaw.
The rest of the film follows Leatherface as he tries to find Melody, whom he plainly blames
for his surrogate mother figure's death.
Sally Hardesty (originally portrayed by Marilyn Burns, now performed by Olwen Fouéré), the
sole survivor of Leatherface's homicidal spree 50 years ago, receives word that Leatherface
is returned.
She brings weapons to Harlow in the hopes of finally defeating him.
With his chainsaw, Leatherface hacks up a number of people, and eventually just Melody
and Lila are left of their pals.
Sally arrives with her vehicle at precisely the appropriate time, but instead of driving
away, she insists that they wait until Sally can murder Leatherface.
Leatherface, however, has the upper hand and leaves Sally practically dead in the street.
Melody and Lila are being pursued by Leatherface.
They make an attempt to hit him with the van, but it crashes.
Melody, who is stuck in the van, encourages Lila to go and leave her behind.
Lila agrees, but later returns to try to shoot Leatherface.
She's out of bullets, but thankfully, Sally comes and shoots Leatherface in the shoulder
with the last of her power.
EXPLAINED ENDING?
a dying person Sally warns Lila not to flee—"If you flee, he'll never stop haunting you"—but
instead of assisting her sister and fleeing, Lila pursues Leatherface inside the abandoned
theater, armed with a rifle.
There's a pool of water in this auditorium for some reason, and Leatherface assaults
Lila and nearly drowns her.
Lila eventually drags herself out of the water, but Leatherface has the upper hand.
Melody, her sister, appears out of nowhere and leaps on him just as he's about to slice
her up with his chainsaw.
With her last round, Lila hits Leatherface in the stomach.
Melody then takes up the chainsaw and slices him through the middle—albeit a shallow
one.
Leatherface is knocked unconscious and falls into the sea.
We notice bubbles at first, indicating that he is still breathing, but the bubbles gradually
stop, indicating that he is dead.
Is Leatherface finally extinguished for good?
Nope!
Lila and Mel get into their expensive automobile and put on autopilot mode in the film's last
scene.
Leatherface emerges out of nowhere and snatches Mel through the passenger window as the car
begins to move away.
While Lila cries from the car that is still going away on autopilot, he beheads her in
the street with his chainsaw.
AFTER THE CREDITS SCENES, IS THERE A TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE?
Yes.
You may see Leatherface walking down a dusty road with his chainsaw approaching a lovely
little home with a windmill if you wait until the very end of the credits.
EXPLAINING THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE POST CREDITS SCENE:
Leatherface is on his way to a residence that would be familiar to loyal Texas Chainsaw
fans: It's Leatherface's house, aka the early 1900s farmhouse where the first Texas Chain
Saw Massacre film, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, was shot.
Leatherface, his brother, and their grandfather resided at the house in the original film.
In the first film, Leatherface's brother is said to have been slain.
While he and other members of Leatherface's family did appear in subsequent films, it's
crucial to understand that the 2022 Texas Chainsaw Massacre was meant as a direct sequel
to the 1974 picture, and the creators do not consider the previous films to be canon.
Even then, you know how slashers go—no one ever actually dies.
Is this a hint that more Texas Chainsaw flicks are on the way, as well as a reunion between
Leatherface and his brother?
To discover out, we'll have to wait
and watch.
