The Cast of THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE is Doing a "Family Reunion" Virtual Event
Exurbia Films has announced that the cast and crew of director Tobe Hooper’s classic 1974 horror film The Texas Chainsaw Massacre will be reuniting for a “Family Reunion” virtual event that will take place over the course of two nights.
The event will take place on Friday, December 4th and on Saturday, December 5th, and it will be hosted by Joe Bob Briggs, the iconic TV show host, drive-in movie critic, and noted Chain Saw fan.
Kim Henkel, the writer and producer of the original film and writer and director of its 1994 sequel Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation, will be part of the discussion along with other cast and crew members from the film.
Briggs said in a statement, "It was fascinating to see how many cast and crew members were still stoked about Chain Saw, speaking of events from 47 years ago as though they were yesterday.”
The first night of the virtual event will include members of the original cast, which includes Allen Danziger (Jerry), Bill Vail (Kirk), Teri McMinn (Pam), Edwin Neal (Hitchhiker), John Dugan (Grandpa) and Ed Guinn (Cattle Truck Driver) in addition to Henkel and Briggs.
The second night will feature members of the original production crew, including Editor -Larry Carroll, Cinematographer - Daniel Pearl A.S.C., Production Manager - Ron Bozman, Production Sound & Music – Wayne Bell, Location Sound Recordist – Ted Nicolaou and "Special Guest."
They are all coming together to share their memories, stories, and nightmares of making the landmark film, provide a running commentary for the movie as it plays, and participate in a Q&A following the film.
If you’re interested in joining in on the fun, you can visit the new Official Texas Chainsaw Massacre website featuring never before seen archival photos and the Official Store of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. You can purchase your tickets, which come with a tee shirt and a poster, here.
Henkel added, "An official The Texas Chainsaw Massacre website establishes a source of record for all things Chainsaw. About time.”
