Our very first horror film was Poltergeist. Mr Hooper’s work started what would be a life long love affair with the genre. His work was so out of the box yet it became the classic staples of horror.
I remember our mom telling us that The Texas Chain Saw Massacre was so scary that people were afraid to go into the theatres when it came out. Just the suggestion of that imagery in TCM chilled people to the bone.
Chainsaws are forever terrifying because of this master. His films were a part of so many people’s childhoods and growing up – it’s incredibly sad to think we won’t be hearing anymore stories from him, but he’s an icon that will always be dear to the fan’s hearts.
Bless him for all the nightmares!
