Summary

By 1986 horror was very much in the mainstream. Freddy and Jason were exceptionally profitable franchises, and so it was put on Tobe Hooper to return to Texas and bring back Leatherface and the family for a new generation. With Poltergeist to his credit, Hooper had horror cred, and with Dennis Hopper starring along with Bill Mosely and Jim Siedow returning from the original film, Leatherface seemed poised to take his place among 80’s slasher icons Jason, Freddy, and Michael Myers. But Hooper’s horror-comedy vision added a new twist to the family dynamic, resulting in one of the most original installments in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre series. Were Now Playing hosts Brock, Stuart, and Arnie happy to see Hooper directing Leatherface to once again don the mask and do his chainsaw dance? Listen to find out!

1:44.0	And we are back in Texas 12 years later.
1:48.5	I believe that there would be no argument that the horror revival of the 80's, the
1:53.1	Friday the 13th, every year, Nightmare on Elm Street, and such, brought leather face

1:59.6	I definitely feel like this was a movie that was maybe forced upon Hooper, who had been
2:06.1	doing other stuff, all kind of horror genre related, but he didn't seem anxious to recreate
