Five Movies Almost Directed by Tobe Hooper

by Patrick Bromley
As much as I would love to have seen Tobe Hooper direct any of these, I'm not willing to give up the movies we got instead.

Thrills, Chills, & Spills: THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE

by JB
“Did you ever see The Texas Chain Saw Massacre?
Horrible, wasn't it?
You know people ask me, ‘Is it really true
You know, when you live in Texas
Is that really true what they do around there to people?’

I say, ‘Hey, now every time I drive through the crossroads
I get scared there's a bloke running around
With a fucking chain saw
Oh, no, he's gonna cut off me…
Oh no, no! Don't saw off me leg! Don't saw off me arm!’

When I go to the movies, you know
I'd like to see something more romantic
You know, like An Officer And A Gentleman
Or something, something you can take the wife to…
You know what I mean?”

--Mick Jagger
