The reveal of Leatherface in the original Texas Chain Saw Massacre is interesting because there is no visual build-up. You never see any prior hints of the mask or his shape. Instead, he literally and fully steps into the film to club both a character and the audience in the head with a hammer.

That "splash page" on #Tubi? The one that auto-plays a scene or the trailer for the movie in the upper corner of the screen? Yeah, so the one for SLEEPAWAY CAMP is the final-final scene from the movie.

Yes, THAT scene.

Dracula’s Dog’s Groomer (1979) @jamiroqueer.bsky.social · 1d

the reviews are out and it seems like the new Ed Gein series is real bad, so I feel duty bound to recommend 1974’s DERANGED instead. It’s as close to a Gein biopic as we’ve ever gotten, it is unglamorous and disturbing, and it is a fine film tbh

Something fascinating about THE FINAL TERROR is that the marketing (posters/ads and trailer) hinted that the antagonist was an alien. Spoiler alert: the killer isn't an alien, but ALIEN screenwriter Ronald Shusett (who is NOT featured in the marketing) co-wrote the script.

Finally watching this month's @therealjoebob123.bsky.social LAST DRIVE-IN ep running THE FINAL TERROR. Glad to find a kindred spirit in @crobertcargill.bsky.social, I myself have been a lonely defender of FINAL TERROR for years.

I no longer feel alone.
