Resumo: An influential lm in the consolidation of a very popular realistic semidocumentary aesthetics in contemporary horror films, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (Tobe Hooper, 1974) has gained, over the years, innovative status for anticipating the boom of the slasher subgenre, and exploiting the rawness of its images. However, little is said of the bold nature of the sounds that contribute to frighten the audience. This essay aims to reconstruct the creative process of the soundtrack, highlighting the major presence of students and young aspiring professionals in the team responsible for the sound design, and emphasizing how the relative ignorance of professional post-production practices helped to scramble the boundaries between music and sound effects, thus reinforcing an innovative stylistic trend that in uences contemporary cinema.

No entanto, pouco se fala do caráter arrojado dos sons que contribuem para assustar o público do filme. Este ensaio tem o objetivo de reconstituir o processo criativo da trilha sonora, destacando a presença majoritária de estudantes e aprendizes na equipe responsável pelo sound design, e enfatizando o modo pelo qual o relativo desconhecimento das práticas profissionais de pós-produção embaralhou as fronteiras entre música e efeitos sonoros, reforçando uma tendência estilística inovadora que influencia o cinema contemporâneo.  PEPG COS-PUC-SP2018-08-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/galaxia/article/view/33135Galaxia; No. 38 (2018)GALÁxIA.
