THE SWIMMER (1968) We dive deep in to The Swimmer and discuss and analyze, maybe just a little bit the glorious film directed by Frank Perry, based on a screenplay by Eleanor Perry, from the 12 page short story by John Cheever. "Well-off ad man Ned Merrill (Burt Lancaster) is visiting a friend when he notices the abundance of backyard pools that populate their upscale suburb. Ned suddenly decides that he'd like to travel the eight miles back to his own home by simply swimming across every pool in town."If you're reading this I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support.

Send us a textIt's time! Time for horror movies!  Eric and Neil talk about the 1981 movie, The Funhouse. Directed by Tobe Hooper. Its a nice time capsule for the early 80's with lax Boomer parenting and sleazy atmosphere. Jump on the bumper cars and join us! 

While the directing credit goes to Tobe Hooper, it was Producer Steven Spielberg who had the Midas touch in the 1980's, but does a zero-body count horror movie that has been endlessly parodied and imitated still deliver the scares? Or has this become a shocker documentary explaining why home-buying disclosure packets are now three inches thick? Catch a steak and take a break with the Brains.

This week on Horror hour with the Hanna's, we revisit Tobe Hooper's The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974), one of the most influential horror films ever made. What begins as a road trip for a group of friends quickly descends into a nightmare of isolation, brutality, and madness when they cross paths with Leatherface and his deranged family deep in rural Texas. We explore how the film's gritty, documentary-like style, relentless tension, and shocking violence reshaped the horror genre. With its low-budget ingenuity and grim atmosphere, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre became a landmark of exploitation cinema—and a cornerstone of slasher history. Nearly 50 years later, it remains just as disturbing and relevant.   Follow Us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: @horrorhourwiththehannas   Music by Aries Beats - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPpnxLYrzVA⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Life. It can be a time suck. You what sucks your lifeFORCE? Space vampires. And that's what Tobe Hooper's 1985 cult classic Lifeforcebrings to the table. It also brings the Three Bs: boobs, blood, and booty. Not necessarily in that order, but it very often serves up all three in the frame at the same time. From IMDB: A race of space vampires arrives in London and infects the populace, beginning an apocalyptic descent into chaos. The American Cinematographer Eerie Effects for Lifeforce ENJOY!

He's also a celebrated actor in movies like "3:10 to Yuma" and TV shows like "Longmire," as well as a regional Emmy-winning documentarian for the series "Legendary New Mexico." And he's a massive horror fan! Scotty and Chad first met 21-years ago while making the short film "Something Red," which was Scotty's first solo outing as a director and his tribute to "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre." On this episode, Scotty and Chad talk about the process of making that short film, and then they wax poetic about Tobe Hooper's grindhouse classic. This is just two old friends geeking out about a movie they love. Enjoy!

On this episode, Aaron and Derek discuss 1995's haunted machine film "The Mangler" directed by Tobe Hooper and based off the 1972 Stephen King short story. They talk about how Hooper combined his humorous horror sensibilities with King's insane creative energy and adding more to what is an otherwise direct adaptation of the short story. They also get into Hooper's use of lighting and set dressing, the not so subtle exploration of capitalism and lack of oversight consuming everything, and how Hooper as a director always "goes for it." Derek is doing a little dance! Aaron has a little bit of that machine in him. We are on PodBean, Apple Podcasts, Podchaser, Goodpods, Amazon Music, Spotify, iHeartRadio and CastBox.

Mellem sit gennembrud med 'The Texas Chainsaw' og før 'Poltergeist', lavede instruktør Tobe Hooper den lille gyserperle 'The Funhouse' - eller på dansk 'Rædselshuset' - der fik premiere i 1981. Vi tager os af 'The Funhouse' i vores spin-off-format Blodbank, hvor vi prøver at dykke ned i nogle af de mere oversete gyserværker. Gode som dårlige. Og som altid prøver vi at finde en lille X-Files-vinkel, hvis muligt. Denne episode er blevet udgivet som tak for, at vi har ramt 25 støtter på 10er.dk/xfiles. Tak til at alle som støtter os - både økonomisk, men også ved at lytte! 

It's time! We're finally talking Tobe Hooper on 'AnotherLook'. Will's pick for the week is a carnival slasher - The Funhouse! Listen up as the dynamic duo discuss their shared history of Tobe Hooper's films, the underrated qualities of this elegant sideshow attraction, all the ins and outs of its thematic set-dressing, not to mention its place as a meta-text of horror history!

Poltergeist marked Hollywood's big-budget engagement with the ghost film in 1982. Produced by Stephen Spielberg and directed by Tobe Hooper, it took the haunted house film and mashed it together with the family adventure film. Throw in some special effects courtesy of Industrial Light and Magic, and you end up with the film that relocated haunted houses to the suburbs. The film obliquely references the settlement of land in California and a failure to acknowledge earlier inhabitants of that land. It also explicitly engages with the growing consumer boom of the 1980s, using technology - here in the form of the TV set - as a means to communicate with the other side. It's a film worthy of study for various reasons. But one of the talking heads in the special feature on the 25th anniversary edition of the film exclaims that everything in the film 'really happened'. Does the depicted activity bear any relation to historically recorded cases of poltergeist activity? Where does the film draw on this record? What are these earlier cases? Let's find out!

El pasado año se cumplieron 50 años del estreno de “La matanza de Texas” (1974) de Tobe Hooper, la obra de terror cumbre de asesinos en serie, que matan porque sí, y aunque aquí el maníaco asesino cuenta con una troupe de secuaces, tan hilarantes como macabros, el que acaba cortando el bacalao, a moto sierra por supuesto, es Gunnar Hansen y su cara de cuero, convirtiéndose es uno de los personajes más reconocibles de la historia del cine de terror. Todo un bombazo en el que lógicamente la censura se cebó. Este reportaje pertenece al programa "El Cine de LoQueYoTeDiga" nº 447 (16x04) y fue emitido el 19 de octubre de 2024.

Cultists, continuing with the Sinners theme. Another one of the film's often cited influences was Stephen King's Salem's Lot. Adapted as a two part TV movie by Texas Chainsaw Massacre director Tobe Hooper, this Gothic Horror throwback scarred the Gen X kids that grew up with it on television, and gave us one of the ‘70s most iconic vampires the Nosferatu-esque Kurt Barlow.

On this episode of Parallax Views, J.G. Michael is joined by writer and self-described film analyst Albert Lanier to discuss his work on the blog The Final Cut and his Retro Reviews website. We kick things off by exploring why Albert prefers the term “film analyst” over “movie reviewer,” delving into what it means to engage deeply with cinema rather than simply judge it. From there, we dive into his thoughtful takes on: Psycho II, the surprising and often overlooked sequel to Hitchcock's classic, and how it rethinks Norman Bates for a new era. Tobe Hooper's Lifeforce, a wild blend of sci-fi, horror, and eroticism that could only have come out of the 80s. The heyday of raunchy 80s comedies, what they reflected about the culture at the time, and why they endure (or don't). Split Image, a lesser-known thriller about cults that holds up as both a tense drama and a cultural artifact of its period. It's a conversation that ranges from cult cinema (and movies about cults) to the philosophy of film criticism, nostalgia, and why some forgotten gems deserve a second look.

It's Halloween in July! Pete has once again allowed Martha free reign to talk about her nonsense, so we're doing a horror episode. Homework discussed: House on Haunted Hill (1959, dir.

Spring break came a little late this year but don't worry, the message stays the same - STAY OUT OF THE DAMN WATER! We're pontooning like it's the millennium with Tobe Hooper's 2000-era romp CROCODILE. No matter what your drunk frat boy pals or the floozy with striped hair tells you, it is decidedly not safe to party in the swamp and bust open all of those mysterious reptile eggs you found. And don't even think about stowing one away in your girlfriend's backpack - she'll have to carry it around like a fool while being chased by an angry lizard. Don't drink and boat or you'll get chomped in half this week on Horror Movie Night! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

A mi gusto, es uno de los relatos más interesantes y extraños que King escribió antes de alcanzar la fama mundial con #Carrie.Trata de una máquina de doblar ropa de una lavandería que,curiosamente parece haber cobrado vida y está matando a la gente que trabaja ahí. El relato, a pesar de su temática tan rara, fue adaptado como película en 1995 por Tobe Hooper (quien anteriormente ya había hecho la versión televisivade "Salem's Lot"). Esta adaptación, a pesar de contar con Robert Englund (Freddy Krueger), no fue bien recibida por la crítica. ¿Ustedes la han visto?  Espero que sea de su agrado y lo disfruten mucho.  Colóquense unos audífonos o auriculares y disfruten de estahistoria de Stephen King.  Y aquí... las redes sociales oficiales de Historias deEspantos por Fernando Palacios: · Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/HistoriasDeEspantosxFP/ · Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HistoriasDeEspantosxFP    Estas son mis redes sociales: ·Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fer.mr.bones/ ·Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/fer.mr.bones/?_rdc=1&_rdr &https://www.facebook.com/FernandoPalaciosAKAMrBones ·Twitter: https://twitter.com/FerMrBones    También lo encuentras en Spotify y cualquier otro serviciode podcast. https://anchor.fm/fernando-palacios94https://podcasts.apple.com/mx/podcast/historias-de-espantos/id1554046415

The film writer Meg Shields returns to the podcast from Vancouver for a show to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Tobe Hooper's schlock sci-fi horror masterpiece, Lifeforce.Cannon Films' big swing for the fences, Lifeforce had an astronomical budget for the time, with huge practical sets, hundreds of extras and innovative special effects from the great John Dykstra including massive miniature work and cutting-edge optical effects, all in the service of a bonkers tribute to Hammer horror. The runaway production was a cocaine-and-Dr Pepper-fueled vision of naked space vampires hiding in Halley's Comet (led by the beautiful Mathilda May) who arrive on Earth and unleash havoc on the city of London.We discuss 1955's The Quatermass Xperiment and 1967's Quatermass and The Pit, huge influences on John Carpenter and Tobe Hooper, before diving into the madness of Lifeforce, rejected by audiences in 1985 and setting off the eventual collapse of Cannon Films. We also compare the two cuts of the movie (as the American distributor Tri-Star changed the title from Space Vampires and shortened their version by 10 minutes against the director's will) and how this crazy movie has stood the test of time to become a cult favourite.Over 30% of all Junk Filter episodes are only available to patrons of the podcast.

From the director (Tobe Hooper) of The Texas Chainsaw Massacare and the writer (Dan O'Bannon) of Alien comes this crazy sci-fi horror thriller about a potential alien invasion which occurs around London after a race of space vampires (yes you read that right) come calling via Haley's Comet and an Earth-bound spaceship.  This ambitious Cannon Pictures release was a notable flop when it was first released in June of 1985 but has since garned a cult following due to several crazy setpieces, ample female nudity (from one alien in particular played by Matilda May), and.....some very inventive visual effects thanks to contributions from the same F/X wizard (John Dykstra) who had worked on the original Star Wars just eight years prior.  Starring alongside May (in her on-screen debut) are Steve Railsback, Peter Firth, Frank Finlay, and Patrick Stewart! Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a texthttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

This week on Born to Watch, we dive into the horror landmark that changed the game: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974). Brutal, raw, and grimy in a way that still shocks today, this episode sees Whitey and Damo take on one of the most infamous cult classics ever made, with Morgz and Gow hilariously "noping out" after the first five minutes.Despite its terrifying reputation, the team quickly notes something surprising: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre isn't about gore, it's about dread. Director Tobe Hooper weaponises your imagination with low-budget ingenuity, turning rural Texas into a sweat-drenched nightmare of implied violence, claustrophobia, and screaming madness.Whitey and Damo break down how the film uses its documentary-style visuals to make you feel like you're inside the nightmare. They discuss the iconic opening narration, the genius use of real animal sounds in place of a traditional soundtrack, and the deeply uncomfortable "dinner scene," which remains one of the most disturbing sequences ever filmed.The episode also explores the surprising lack of blood, the history of censorship surrounding the movie (which was banned for decades in the UK!), and why Leatherface, chainsaw-wielding, mask-wearing, and alarmingly agile, became an instant horror icon. There's serious appreciation for how Texas Chainsaw influenced Evil Dead, Seven, Pulp Fiction, and even the style of Star Wars' opening crawl.Of course, this wouldn't be Born to Watch without a few detours:Franklin and his endless whining take a brutal roasting, and deservedly so.Picking up hitchhikers is a bad move. Hitchhikers carrying photos of slaughtered cows—extra bad move."Don't go in the house, mate" becomes the ultimate horror PSA.Damo tells the all-time story of accidentally picking up hitchhikers while having "Northern Beaches Gay Board Riders" accidentally stuck to his car door.The cast of unknowns stayed unknown, most fading into cult obscurity. But the legacy of the film is undeniable, and the team argues that it might be the rawest and most authentic horror movie ever made.IN THIS EPISODE:Why a minimal budget made Texas Chainsaw even scarier.The genius of Tobe Hooper's “no soundtrack” approach.How Sally Hardesty became the prototype for the Final Girl trope.That horrifying Grandpa scene and why it still messes us up.Whether Leatherface could qualify as CrossFit's most terrifying champion.It's loud, it's grimy, it's uncomfortable, and it's a horror masterclass that still hits like a hammer to the skull.Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your movie fixes!Join the conversation:Is The Texas Chainsaw Massacre the most disturbing horror film ever made?

It should have been so simple. In fact, the hook is just two words: space vampires. That's it! And yet what resulted is a roiling boil of Dracula tropes, sweaty performances, extended nudity, and some of the best shriveled puppets you'll ever see! That's right, we're zapping the energy out of 1985's LIFEFORCE with the help of actor and stand-up, Matthew Broussard (watch his new comedy special, Hyperbolic here!!). Along the way, we learn all Tobe Hooper's magic touch, how the producers of Cannon Films nearly tore the film apart, why Steve Railsback is playing so many different Bram Stoker roles in one movie, and Matthew schools us on physics!! All this, plus fallopian flashbacks, biscuit bribes, physician prescribed swords, helicopter blood conferences, male ass technology, Patrick Stewart bald pate worship, and a cosmically insane edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure!!
