The 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre' house restaurant has been renamed in honor of franchise director Tobe Hooper.
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is considered by countless horror fans to be one of the scariest films ever made. A major reason for that is the farm house the iconic slasher was shot at. That same house went up for sale earlier this year, which had many fans worried that it would be torn down. However, like previously reported, the home is being preserved by the new owners, on top of plans to renovate the property.
The new owners made the announcement in a Facebook post reading, “The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie set located at 1010 King Court in Kingsland, Texas is taking on an updated look and a new name. The once Grand Central Café and Club Car Bar is now HOOPER’S in honor of Tobe Hooper, writer and director of the original TCM”. This will warm many horror fans' hearts as Hooper had a historic career in the genre.
Hooper would then go on to direct The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2 in 1986 and reinvented the horror genre once again with a new take on the franchise which had more in common with a modern black comedy horror film than the straight terrors found in the original. Like the first film, it was truly a slasher ahead of its time. However, Hooper wasn’t just known for Leatherface. The famous director also made Poltergeist, Lifeforce, Salem’s Lot, Body Bags, and The Funhouse.
