After Leatherface kills Franklin in the woods, Sally escapes him by reaching the gas station the group visited earlier in the film. During The Texas Chain Saw Massacre DVD’s commentary, Gunnar Hansen revealed this chase sequence was the origin of his Leatherface chainsaw dance. Just as Sally turns the corner of the building and bursts through the door, Leatherface was originally supposed to stop and begin “dancing around and twirling with the saw, and that became the end of the film.” Tobe Hooper discussed the deleted scene, saying, “I cut it out because it was best to not know if you were behind that door or not – that’s why Jim Siedow leaves the door open.” Hooper was referring to the moment immediately after Siedow’s proprietor, Drayton “The Cook” Sawyer, pretends to console Sally. While he heads outside to check the area and bring his truck around, there’s a chilling silence as only darkness can be seen through the open doorway. In this way, the thought of Gunnar Hansen’s Leatherface appearing at any moment is far more terrifying than him dancing outside, which would have also given away his family connection too soon.
Hansen goes on to agree that cutting Leatherface’s original dance helped maintain an element of surprise and improved The Texas Chain Saw Massacre’s ending. The Cook’s nervous energy becomes increasingly unsettling as the scene progresses, with the viewer realizing he’s not really trying to help Sally – meaning Leatherface’s presence would have detracted from this reveal and Jim Siedow’s wonderfully comic performance. Leatherface’s absence is both unnerving and amusing, with the fact later emerging that he simply ran home to begin cooking the family’s dinner.

It would also have contradicted Leatherface’s behavior, as he later appears scared of his older brother, flinching as The Cook admonishes him for breaking his front door, meaning it’s unlikely he would stop to dance around his brother’s gas station.
Furthermore, Hooper cutting the originally planned dance also served to heighten The Texas Chain Saw Massacre’s black comedy, throwing the viewer into the macabre sketch of a feuding family. There’s an overwhelmingly eerie ambiguity surrounding the cannibalistic Sawyer family’s existence, aided by Sally’s increasing hopelessness and despair as they are properly revealed to her. Leatherface’s dance would have undercut this mounting tension, proving it was best left as a horrifying, bizarre crescendo for The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.
