Interview - Heather Wixson (Monsters, Make-Up and Effects, Vol. 1)

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre

This episode we're discussing one of the most bizarre films in the annals of American horror film history as Peter Horne joins us to slice up The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Listen as we suggest some of the political and religious subtexts under the skin of Tobe Hooper's iconic 1974 classic, take note of the various injuries (both physical and psychological) inflicted on the movie's cast and crew during shooting, and sort through the strange continuity of the sequels in the franchise. Warning: Contains explicit language, spoilers, and scategoaps... scapegoats.
