Tobe Hooper dead at 74

He brought us Texas Chainsaw Massacre and many other gems in horror. As a horror movie buff this one stings.

First Romero now Hooper this has been a horrible year for horror fans. TCSM is one of the all time great horror films, it is still legit scary even after all these years.

Yup. I first saw that flick when I was quite young (9 or 10 maybe?) and it messed me up for life. I think it still holds up as one of the most disturbing and f'd up horror flicks ever made. A twisted, low-budget work of art.
