The sound comes from the long running Texas Chainsaw horror franchise, which began with The Texas Chain Saw Massacre in 1974 and became known for its gritty, low budget terror. Matthew McConaughey appeared in the 1994 entry The Next Generation as the unhinged Vilmer, a role fans still clip from early in his career. Short moments from the films circulate widely on soundboards and in meme edits because the performances are loud, frantic and instantly recognisable, keeping this brief Matthew clip in use for horror themed jokes.
