Writer and Director Tobe Hooper’s THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE originally released October 1, 1974. The 5 minute dinner scene at the end of the movie took approximately 26 hours to shoot. Maybe it had something to do with the 100 degree Texas heat through the entire film shoot draining their energy?
