TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE with Kristopher Woofter & Will Dodson (Fixed Audio)

Will Dodson and Kristopher Woofter, co-editors of American Twilight: The Cinema of Tobe Hooper join me to talk about Texas, chainsaws, massacres and the career of TCM director Tobe Hooper. The far-reaching conversation touches on politics, film techniques, history and the disputed authorship of the Hooper directed/Steven Spielberg produced blockbuster Poltergeist.

Learn more about their excellent book at its University of Texas Press page and check out Woofter's horror research hub The Hauntologist.

The original TCM is streaming on Shudder here.

The Tobe Hooper-directed Peter, Paul & Mary Doc is here.

Hooper's early short film The Heisters is here

I believe that this is the Hooper/Funhouse interview Kris mentioned.

Evidentally Hooper's name is pronounced "Toby" and I look like a total idiot in front of these two eminent horror movie scholars.
