Tobe Hooper, the director of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Poltergeist, died this past Saturday.
Oh, man.. We're losing so many of my favorite directors lately...
While he's mostly known for The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and its sequel, let's not forget all the other great films he did over the decades. Including Eaten Alive, Poltergeist, the cult classic Lifeforce and one of my rare favorite remakes, Invaders from Mars (1986). But also Night Terrors, Body Bags and a couple of fantastic Masters of Horror TV movies, Dance of the Dead and The Damned Thing.
Tobe Hooper died at 74.
Side blog-comment: If/when we'll lose John Carpenter, I dunno how I'll handle that one..
