'''Bryanston Pictures''' was a distribution company headed by Louis "Butchie" Peraino, a leading man in the Columbo Crime Family, and was created after the success of ''Deep Throat''. Their first big deal came from distributing ''The Texas Chainsaw Massacre'', the predecessor movie of the ''TCM'' franchise. However, shady business practices (such as giving directors FAR less than 35% of the profits made from the movie, and threatening theaters to fork over 50% of the profits) led them to be sued into oblivion in 1976. Reports from people who allowed them to distribute their movies said, "It was like making a deal with the devil". | '''Bryanston Pictures''' was a distribution company headed by Louis "Butchie" Peraino, a leading man in the Columbo Crime Family, and was created after the success of ''Deep Throat''.
