You could have dinner with us. The Behind the Scenes Pic of the Day makes good head cheese. You like head cheese?
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with today’s Behind the Scenes Pic!
In my post high school years I worked some shitty jobs… movie theater, temp office work and a stint at a Hollywood Video. Yep, back in the days when we’d curse people who didn’t rewind their tapes (easily 85% of renters), would be cursed at for the ridiculous late fees and had to deal with those ridiculous double tape packs for flicks like Titanic and Braveheart. Yes, it’s kind of a miserable job, but even more miserable today from what I understand. At least when I worked there we could watch any PG movie we wanted during store hours.
My boss was a tool, my coworkers were a mix of cool movie lovers and middle aged burnouts, but at least I was surrounded by movies and got to recommend flicks to strangers. The best day of that job involved the movie featured today. The phone rang and it was a lady on the other end asking if we had THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE because she was friends with someone in it and they wanted to watch it.
I asked who it was and she said Teri McMinn. I heard a mumbling from her side of the conversation and then she added “The meathook girl.” I then told her that I’d like to talk to her and, after a laugh, I heard “The video store guy wants to talk to you.”
So, McMinn took the phone and we bullshitted a little bit as I looked up the video, which ended up in our “stolen” list. We didn’t have it, but I remember the conversation being very nice.
Chain Saw’s a great movie, one that I have loved since seeing it at a way too impressionable age. Today we have a shot of Marilyn Burns from the finale, which is one of the reasons the movie is so great. They nail the ending. Even though the heroine gets away she’s a broken woman, almost as crazy as her pursuer by the end of things.
Hope you guys enjoy the pic!
Seeing a man die isn’t good enough for tomorrow’s Behind the Scenes Pic. It’s gotta be close enough to smell his nuts cook.

Because I'm first BITCHES.

Was just watching the trailer on youtube about 2 mins ago and it still freaks me out.
-
Man I love being foist!
-
leatherface missteps and falls down and hurts his leg with the chainsaw,suddenly appears from nowhere a truck which stops,the girl hopes in,the truck leaves,the girl keeps screaming while looking at the camera and leatherface keeps wiggling the chainsaw in the thin air like a spastic. i know that the movie was essentially a school project but jesus they could have at least worked the ending a bit more to an otherwise all-time classic splatter horror b-movie.
-
Abrupt and disturbing.
-
That shit blew up good - REAL GOOD!
-
I bet you got played anyways. Those ladies probably had a good laugh afterwards. Kinda sad tho, ladies getting their kicks by calling video store clerks and lying about being in movies.
-
really i found the whole sequence comdeic instead of disturbing.my problem was with the execution,not with the idea behind it.
-
...much better sans-Leatherface. Give a try to watching the ending with his scenes cut. Or at least edited to show that she skillfully outran him. Much more powerful by comparison.
-
DOG WILL HUNT
-
How come we never hear about the truck driver? Guy knocks over Leatherface, then runs off; meanwhile Marilyn escapes in someone else's vehicle, leaving him to fend for himself. Did he just keep on running? Inquiring minds need to know!
-
You should do TCM2 next, which is also a brilliant film but for entirely different reasons and often grossly (no pun intended) misunderstood.

It's not even a job today, unless you happen to be a big red box standing outside a Circle K store.

Dr. William E. Barnes- A Dentist by trade, made a jeltrait mold off of her face. This mold was used by Robert A Burns to make the Pretty Woman mask with fiberglass insulation and cheap mold builders latex. I am a big fan of this film. I've watched it about as many times if not more than "Brian Caroll" aka Buckethead. Jay Parsley's face was molded to make the Hunter Killer Mask. His dad put some money into the film, and he got a producer credit. The Harry Ransom Center (located in Austin Texas) has a blank from the mold copy of the Hunter Killer Mask. What I wouldn't do to get my hands on that sucker. I was crazy enough to hunt down and call Robert A Burns at his home shortly before he died. We talked about his makeup and set design work for the film. He was an extremely nice guy, and I will always treasure that conversation. I love this movie way too much.

Sorry just geeking out.

THEJUDGER - i replied to your reply in that other thread
by frank cotton
you're A+ in my book. yes, please, bring on a TCM2 pic; it's a great flick...sizzle, sizzle...
-
I sometimes find it difficult to believe that I get - and take stock in - TCM news reported by a kid that wasn't a glint in his father's eye when the original was released. I take shits bigger than you, son! (Just kidding, nice pic.)

ARMA-GODAMNED-MOTHERFUCKIN'GEDDON! sorry about the confusion
-
the scene where Leatherface pulls that big, metal door shut still gets me everytime.
-
JUST KIDDING!! The remake was an atrocious piece of shit!
-
take issue with the above comment. for a remake, it was right decent. can't go wrong with R. LEE ERMEY, now, can ya?
-
that is probably one of the most terrifying moments ever put on film. This movie is so fucking raw... I think, on some level, it's almost impossible to achieve this level of realism today. There's just too much snark, too many winks, too much self-awareness by... well, EVERYONE on set to pull something like this off. On top of that, I think they had no clue the sum would be THAT much greater than the individual parts... perhaps more than any movie ever made. I don't know much about the history of it, maybe TheJudger can enlighten me, but was there a point where they finally got some dailies and realized what they had? I think this movie is one of the reasons to love movies and making them. It's magic... a bunch of people can go out and make a visceral masterpiece on a low budget in 16mm in the middle of nowhere.

tobe hooper aint that talented.

My best friends mom was taking us to another movie which was sold out. We convinced her to see Chainsaw instead. She was completely freaked out by that movie. Though, to give her credit, she sat through the whole thing.

A Benchmark job is one so horrible that for the rest of you life you will measure every other job against it. For instance, "Yeah, this place sucks, but I'm not dumping berries on a conveyor belt for 12-14 hours a day".

He does gritty horror like no one's business. Show me one other vampire movie that's scarier than Salem's Lot. It's an honest challange too, because if there is a more frightening one, I've missed it and would like to see it.
