Worth knowing. Leatherface is a prequel to the 1974 film, while The Beginning is a prequel to the 2003 remake — two different origin stories for the same character. Texas Chainsaw 3D and the 2022 film are both direct sequels to 1974 that ignore each other, so the 1974 film is the place to start for either.
