50 years ago, five youths on a weekend getaway in the Texas countryside fell prey to a butcher in a mask made of human skin and his cannibalistic family, and horror cinema would never be the same.
Violent, confrontational, and shockingly realistic, director Tobe Hooper’s THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE terrified audiences in a way never thought possible when it was unleashed on a politically and socially tumultuous America in 1974. Facing a storm of controversy, censorship, and outcry throughout its troubled release, this masterpiece of horror has stood the test of time to become a landmark motion picture and cultural milestone.
This screening will feature an introduction by Jef Rouner, a local author. Before and after the film, Rouner will be signing copies of the new anthology YOUR BODY IS A FEVER DREAM from Tenebrous Press.
YOUR BODY IS A FEVER DREAM is A cosmic body horror anthology from trans and GNC voices, a companion volume to YOUR BODY IS NOT YOUR BODY, and a charity drive all rolled into one. Over thirty Trans and Gender Nonconforming writers and artists come together in this energetic, fierce, and richly illustrated volume. Great unknowable forces, big concepts, space, dimensions, existential drama, good ol' body horror, cosmic dread, genre blending, weird formats, and creativity abound.
