Show Notes

For our second episode, we're starting to celebrate the month of October with some SPOOOOKY commentaries. You may ask, "why didn't you start the podcast in September since 'Armageddon' is not particularly festive?" And I would answer: "cuz I didn't think of it!"

This week, my vote for the scariest film ever made, 1974's "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre" from a commentary featuring director Tobe Hooper, star Gunnar Hansen, and cinematographer Daniel Pearl.

How many leather faces does Leatherface have? Was shooting for a PG rating absolutely deluded? How did Lone Star beer single-handedly save the production? Does heat-induced madness excuse slashing your female lead's hand? Should anyone ever shoot for 27 hours straight?

For the answers to those questions and more, press play!

Ryan's Recommendations: "Eaten Alive" (1977), "Poltergeist" (1982), and "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2" (1986)
