This Coming March, You Can Spend the Night Inside the Original ‘Texas Chain Saw Massacre’ House!
Kenny Caperton’s “On-Set Cinema” is an ongoing film series that presents movie screenings of cult favorites and horror classics at their actual filming locations, and up next from the team is a very special screening of Tobe Hooper’s The Texas Chain Saw Massacre that’ll be taking place this coming March inside the actual Leatherface house in Kingsland, Texas!
On Sunday, March 29 and Monday, March 30, 2020, a limited number of fans will get the opportunity to hang out and watch Texas Chain Saw Massacre inside the house that spawned countless nightmares, as well as stay all night inside the iconic house – which was moved from its original location in the ’90s and is the current home of the Grand Central Café.
Caperton explains, “I will be setting up a TV inside the room where the infamous dining room scene took place and we’ll have a Texas Chain Saw-a-thon all night long! …we can watch the original on repeat, or the entire series from start to finish …OR just skip everything and watch The Next Generation over and over again. Fans will be able to hang out and sleep wherever they want inside the house …in the hallway where we first see Leatherface emerge from the doorway and smash Kirk in the head with the sledgehammer, or in the room that was filled with bones and chicken feathers discovered by Pam just before she gets snatched up and hung on the hook, or even upstairs where Sally finds Grandpa in the rocking chair. There will also be games (horror games, board games, video games, etc) and of course a BBQ dinner with headcheese on the side! So fill up your chainsaws and get ready to join the family!”
This is a 21+ ONLY EVENT. Admission ($475) includes one overnight stay inside the house. Event check in will be at 4:00pm and check out will be Noon the next day. Admission includes games, movie showings, BBQ dinner, drinks, snacks and an On Set Cinema event goodie bag. Admission does not include sleeping arrangements – guests must provide their own blankets, pillows and/or air mattresses. The house has restrooms but does not have showers.
Only 13 spots are available each night, so be sure to secure your tickets NOW!
Sunrise Films has announced the official North American release of William Bagley‘s horror comedy Hold the Fort, and it’s accompanied by an energetic new trailer.
Hold the Fort debuts on digital platforms on June 23.
In the film, “Lucas and Jenny think their life is finally coming together when the couple become homeowners. Little do they know that their new house comes with a big catch. Lucas and Jenny soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when they become trapped in a battle between their Homeowners Association and an onslaught of monsters from hell. The horror-comedy takes the timely concern of home-ownership and wraps this up in an entertaining action-packed thrill ride.“
Watch the new trailer below, which introduces one wild HOA gathering during an equinox. Things get bloody fast.
Chris Mayers (Adult Swim Yule Log), Haley Leary (“The Walking Dead”), Levi Burdick, and Julian Smith star.
William Bagley writes and directs, in addition to producing with Smith, Matt Dodd, Luke Williams, and Tim Reis (Adult Swim Yule Log).
Ahead of the release, Bagley said, “My goal with this film was to make a hilarious, fast-paced thrill ride while also telling a great story with heart. Hopefully, through all the blood, laughs, fights, and gags, you leave the film feeling inspired to tackle whatever life throws at you.“
Hold the Fort premiered at Fantasia last summer before going on to play FrightFest London, Toronto After Dark, and Beyond Fest.
I wrote in my review, “It’s an infectiously charming assemblage of jokes and monster vignettes bound together by a barebones plot with not much on its mind beyond delivering an entertaining time.”
