Tobe Hooper on the Set
This photo was taken on the set of the film The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974). The director Tobe Hooper is posing for this picture. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is considered as on of the best horror movie in cinema history. Hooper produced the film for less than $300,000 and used a cast of relatively unknown actors drawn mainly from central Texas, where the film was shot. The limited budget forced Hooper to film for long hours seven days a week, so that he could finish as quickly as possible and reduce equipment rental costs. Soon after the initial release, numerous theaters stopped showing the film due to its violence. While it initially drew a mixed reception from critics, it was enormously profitable, grossing over $30 million at the domestic box office. The popularity of the film led to a franchise that continued the story of Leatherface (the killer) and his family through sequels, remakes, one prequel, comic books and video games
