Live Commentary: Tobe Hooper In Person commenting while the film is being shown!

THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, 1974, MPI Media, 83 min. One of the best American horror films from the 1970s and certainly one of the scariest movies ever made, it works so well because the unknown actors and real-life locations burn themselves into your memory, assuming a nightmarishly twisted reality that lingers long after you’ve left the theatre. After hearing of a cemetery desecration, Marilyn Burns and friends go on a jaunt in the broiling Texas countryside to make sure her grandparents’ graves are okay, only to become stranded at the rural home of a family of inbred cannibals. Director Tobe Hooper expertly escalates the horror until you can’t stand it anymore…then goes one step further. With Gunnar Hansen, Ed Neal. Director Tobe Hooper will comment on the making of this classic film during the screening.
