While trying to locate the exit, he said: “I looked down and there was a rack of chain saws in front of me for sale. I said, ‘if I start the saw, those people would just part. They would get out of my way.’” So was born a classic horror movie, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre – and a\u003cbr\u003echaracter, Leatherface, wearing a mask of human skin.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"default-style\"\u003eIn this definitive book on the films of the Texas-born writer\/director, Chris Koetting explains how the mob took over the financing of Texas Chainsaw, how Tobe himself thought the best thing he ever did was his epic TV movie of Stephen King’s Salem’s Lot, and we discover just what happened behind the scenes on Poltergeist. How much of this hugely popular ghost story was directed by Tobe and not Steven Spielberg?\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"default-style\"\u003eWith copious quotes from Tobe himself and his fellow filmmakers Chris also reveals what went wrong with Hooper’s Cannon deal that resulted in a trio of big budget flops: Invaders From Mars, Lifeforce and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. Lavishly illustrated throughout with many unseen behind the scenes images, this is a must-read for anyone who loves classic horror!\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"default-style\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs always with Dark Side books, this is a great value volume, beautifully produced and full of never before published stills and posters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt will tell you everything you need to know about this hugely popular Director and is an essential purchase for any true fan of his movies\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoft Cover 196 page book\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e297cm x 210cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor more horror movie books click \u003ca title=\"Horror Movie Books\" href=\"https:\/\/wildstarhearts.net\/collections\/rick-melton-books\" target=\"_self\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor more Darkside Publications click \u003ca title=\"Horror Movie Books\" href=\"https:\/\/thedarksidemagazine.com\/\" target=\"_self\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-canvas-width=\"621.5813333333333\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-canvas-width=\"369.4133333333333\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-canvas-width=\"369.4133333333333\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-canvas-width=\"369.4133333333333\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Dark Side Magazines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43365200035958,"sku":"DS051720","price":60.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1104\/5742\/files\/Untitled-1_da72a678-6f94-4048-bbbb-e1510b2f1e61.jpg?v=1777733762","url":"https:\/\/wildstarhearts.net\/en-au\/products\/strange-things-happen-the-movies-of-tobe-hopper-by-darkside-publications","provider":"Wild Star Hearts ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
