I Never Knew ‘The Texas Chain Saw Massacre’ Had a Blooper Reel
Tobe Hooper’s 1974 horror masterpiece The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is one of the genre’s most iconic titles. It created a franchise that is still going to this day (we’re waiting for more news, Leatherface), one that has generated over $230 million in global box office over the years. It’s a film that terrifies and haunts audiences to this day, thanks to the dirty and grimy feeling of desperation and lost hope that permeate nearly every scene.
Many people see the film not only as a fantastic display of horror but also as a sneaky yet brilliant form of black comedy, a theory I personally ascribe to. There are definite comparisons to Looney Tunes and Hooper himself compared him to the cartoon duck Baby Huey. While the film doesn’t offer too much in the way of laughs, even with its comedic elements, it’s nice to know that there exists a blooper reel that shows the cast and crew having a grand old time making the film, even in some of the most gruesome of scenes.
Below you can see the video, which compiles several instances where the cast can’t contain their laughter at misquoted lines or at tipping over whilst tied up to a chair. It’s rather charming to see such flubs in a film that gives so many people nightmares.
Fede Alvarez’s (Evil Dead, Don’t Breathe) Alien: Romulus will be unleashed in theaters nationwide on August 16, and Entertainment Weekly brings us two new images today.
The first image you’ll find below gives us another fresh look at the film’s Xenomorph, with Alvarez promising the outlet that it’s the most H.R. Giger-faithful Xenomorph of them all.
Entertainment Weekly writes, “… Alvarez promises [the Xenomorph’s design] is closer to H.R. Giger’s original creation than any other iteration.” The late H.R. Giger was of course integral to Ridley Scott’s Alien, designing the iconic monster the franchise is centered on.
The other image you’ll find below gives us a look at two of the human characters from Alien: Romulus, Archie Renaux’s Tyler and Cailee Spaeny’s heroine Rain Carradine.
Head over to Entertainment Weekly for their full preview of the upcoming film.
Here’s the full official plot synopsis for Alvarez’s Alien: Romulus, which comes in the wake of Disney reviving the Predator franchise in spectacular fashion with last year’s Prey…
“While scavenging the deep ends of a derelict space station, a group of young space colonizers come face to face with the most terrifying life form in the universe.”
Cailee Spaeny (The Craft: Legacy, Pacific Rim Uprising) leads the cast alongside Isabela Merced, David Jonsson, Archie Renaux, Spike Fearn and Aileen Wu.
Alien: Romulus takes place in between the first two films. It’s been described as “an original standalone feature,” one that “will focus on a group of young people on a distant world.”
Fede Alvarez co-wrote the script with Rodo Sayagues (Evil Dead). Ridley Scott is on board as producer for the film, the first movie in the franchise to be released by Disney.
