I have been fortunate enough to have made contact with the new/current owner of the original Leatherface "killing" mask that was formerly owned by Brad Shellady. The owner confirmed to me that he is a true TCM fan and that he's taking excellent care of the mask. He is also replacing the original plexiglass case in favor of an air-tight glass case for it. He has promised to send me pictures of the mask for my web site, so stay tuned here for when those are posted.
If you are not familiar with Brad Shellady or the Leatherface mask as previously mentioned, here it is in a nutshell. Brad Shellady was the producer of the first documentary about the making of TCM called "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: A Family Portrait". Eventually, he became the owner of the only remaining Leatherface mask to exist which was the "killing" mask. Brad put the mask in a display case and held on to it for a number of years. Then, in June of 2001, Brad put the mask up for sale on eBay and a lucky TCM fan now owns the mask. It is my understanding that the person who purchased the mask paid over $3,000.00 for it.

I've been trying to avoid any reference to the grave terrorist events that occurred last Tuesday. But Paul Partain recently e-mailed me a great message that I was proud to post to my web site. There's a link to it from the main page HERE. Everyone is being inundated with information from the media, e-mails and websites. So there's no need for me to dribble on about it. But I will say that I look forward to breaking out the military hardware and going to war.

Some minor updates.
Gunnar Hansen has allowed the domain name, http://www.gunnar-hansen.com to expire. So it no longer works. His official web site now has only one domain name of http://www.gunnarhansen.com. Please update your bookmarks.
Speaking of official TCM cast members web sites, I have updated my link to Paul Partain's site on my links page. As far as I can tell, he still has one page up with some photos. You can click HERE to visit that page.
I have also added another town in which someone is absolutely convinced that the TCM actually happened. They claimed it happened in Chillicothe, TX. Still untrue, but what a name!

Another auction for some pieces of the "Leatherface" house are back up on eBay. Check that out HERE.

I have recently become involved in a "tiff" with another eBay user. Which has resulted in more than one negative feedback left in my profile. They are maliciously trying to sabotage my auctions and I'm trying my best to resolve this issue with them. In an effort to explain myself in more detail and outside of the 80-character-only eBay feedback profiles, I have opened this page in an effort to clear the air and convince this party to meet me 1/2 way to clear both of our negative feedbacks. I've tried my best to keep it short. If you care to read about it, go HERE.

Mark from Northwest Productions sent me an e-mail earlier today. He is 1/2 of a show called the "Mark and Mike". They both ventured to Pflugerville, Texas (just north of Austin) to visit a couple of locations where the Texas Chainsaw Massacre was supposedly shot. Mark told me that he was visiting Robbie Jacks (who played Leatherface in TCM #4). Although Robbie is not in this video. Since there was at least one film spot done in Pflugerville for TCM #4, I suppose it is possible that the two locations they visited were in fact in TCM #4. But I can't confirm it. It's worth a chuckle though! Check it out HERE. Click on Shows, then Mark and Mike, then choose episode #15. Thanks Mark!
