The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
U.S., 1974, 83 min, 2k DCP, Dir. Tobe Hooper, Rated R for gore, intense violence
The Gables Cinema and Secret Celluloid Society present Tobe Hooper's digital restoration of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, the final screening for our special Halloween Up All Nite celebration on Sunday, 11/1 at 7:00 am! Shown as part of late-night After Hours series, this classic American slasher follows a group of friends who fall victim to "Leatherface" and his family of cannibals. Although it's an entirely fictional plot, many of the horrific events in the film were inspired by real life 1950's murderer Ed Gein. This restoration of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is the only transfer to return to the original 16mm A/B rolls, the actual film that rolled through the cameras, and took over five grueling months to complete.
