FRANK HENENLOTTER is a BASKET CASE

My Haunted Head ·

2023/04/22

THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE PART 2

My Haunted Head ·

2023/02/25

Since its release in 1974, THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE has held a reputation as one of the most terrifying horror movies ever made.

But for more than a decade, the saw remained silent. Until 1986, when director Tobe Hooper dragged his demented Sawyer clan back out of the shadows, and Cannon Films unleashed THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE 2
