Texas Chainsaw Massacre director Tobe Hooper is the latest master of horror to be inducted into our Horror Hall of Fame! In the video embedded above, we celebrate the career of the filmmaker who brought us such classics as the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre (get it HERE), Eaten Alive, Salem's Lot, The Funhouse, Poltergeist, Lifeforce, and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2.
Here's what the Horror Hall of Fame series is all about:
What does it take to become a Horror icon? Whether it be the Filmmakers orchestrating the frights, the Artists crafting the gore, or the Actors engineering the scares, this series takes an in-depth look at the men and women who paved the way for an entire generation of horror fans, and made the genre what it is today.
