This is rather late breaking news. But in case you didn't know, Gunnar Hansen is teaming up with Robert Englund (Nightmare on Elm Street) and Kane Hodder (Friday the 13th) for a film that Gunnar and Gary Jones wrote called The Last Horror Picture Show. For more info on this, go to Gunnar's site.
Speaking of Gunnar, tune into VH-1's 1970's series that they're running right now. Gunnar makes a brief appearance in the 1974 special.
I also discovered 3 stacks of autographs by Marilyn Burns that I have never posted to my merchandise page. They are available for sale. To check them out, go HERE.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! It was 30 years ago TODAY that 5 kids got lost in rural Texas in 1974, only to find their fate at the hands of Leatherface.
I was lucky enough to have Andrew Bryniarski, the latest actor to play Leatherface in the up coming TCM remake film, visit my web site and suggest an interview. Not only did he take a lot of time to reply to my written questions, but we chatted by phone for almost an hour. I have the text portion of the interview posted HERE. I'll be adding my own comments about our phone conversation to the interview. Enjoy!
Looks like a 30th anniversary edition of the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre will be released to DVD. Unfortunately, it sounds like there won't be any additional features that the familiar Pioneer version doesn't have. For more info on this, go HERE.
My good friend, David Miller, is unfortunately selling his 1959 Chevrolet truck that he had rebuilt as a dedication to the truck used by the Cook in the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre film. Here is what he has to say about it:
"...just wanted to let you know that I am selling the 1953 Chevrolet pick up that I have. I consider it to one one of my most prized ''chainsaw props''. Maybe you could put it on your next TCM update and let the fans know that it's up for grabs. It also comes with a 1952 Chevy truck and a ton of parts and manuals ( I'm wanting only $8500.00 for the whole package, what a steal!) They can email me for all the info and they can also go to the fan photo section to see pictures of it. It is still in tip top condition and it's a daily driver. I don't think you'll find a nicer sawyer family truck in this condition for this price!"
There is a new Yahoo! chat group called Bill Johnson Online. Click HERE to go there. This has been posted to my Links page.
Justin Stubbs has submitted some pictures of his extensive TCM collection. Go to the Fan Foto section under his name to check it out!
