I'm REALLY getting a kick out of my new section called Hate Mail!  If you would like to check back for more updates to my site, I highly recommend making this section a place to drop by for the most updates!  Kinda sad, isn't it?

And my apologies for sending out the recent frequent updates e-mails.  You know me - I normally update my site once/twice a month.  But I've had time during the day to concentrate on it.  I'm sure I'll be back to my usual laziness starting next week.

Can you tell that I've been home this week with time on my hands to pay more attention to my site?

Many thanks AGAIN to Morgan for submitting some screen shots of Jim Siedow as Drayton Sawyer in Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, as well as Tobe Hooper's cameo.

Well, LOW AND BEHOLD!!!  The All American Massacre web site is (CORRECTION - WAS) back up!  It fired up for me a few days ago.  I just checked it again and it's not loading at this time.  Perhaps we should keep trying.  But when it did work, didn't see anything new on it since it last went off the air.

Many thanks to Morgan for submitting some screen shots of John Dugan in his cameo in Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation.

Sorry for the lack of updates recently.  My web server is undergoing continuous maintenance, which makes it very difficult to post news and updates to the site.

It looks like there's going to be another "Ultimate Texas Chainsaw Massacre Experience" in Kingsland with the original house that was used in the film, which is now the Four Bears restaurant.  Gunnar Hansen is confirmed to be there.  For more information on this outdoor screening of TCM click HERE and click on the link for August 21.  Hope to see you out there!

It's official!  A prequel to the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake is going to be made.  Click HERE to read more about it.

In the previous news that I have posted, I mentioned that the original Pretty Woman mask and the original apron that Gunnar Hansen wore for his role as Leatherface in the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre have gone up for sale.  In the previous news, I posted the link to the mask.  If you click HERE, you can see the finalized auction for the apron and the mask.

I also decided to put Bob Burns in the Where Are They Now? section.

I decided to open a new section of my web site called "Hate Mail".  It's really amazing what I get in my Inbox once in a while.  So, rather than keep and delete these little gems without sharing them, I decided to post the really good ones.  So far, I've only saved one that I received today.  Boy, it's a DOOSIE!!!!  Check that out HERE.

A fellow TCM fan wrote to me to say that they got bitten by a snake on their pilgrimage to Quick Hill!  Because of the enormous amounts of rain that we received in May and June, there is a TON of overgrowth on Quick Hill now.  He went up there wearing only sneakers and shorts.  His friends took him to the hospital and he's doing fine.  I salute you!  And for anyone else thinking about going to Quick Hill for a look-see, I suggest wearing boots and pants.

Enrique Garcia submitted a drawing he made of Leatherface.  Visit the Fan Foto section under his name.

And previously, I had posted a bad/old link to the Memorabilia page.  Check that out NOW.

The original Pretty Woman mask is now up for auction.  Click HERE to view the auction.  And if you win it, YOU GOTTA SEND ME PICTURES!!!

Chris Robinson sent in pics of his McCulloch 10-10 saw.  This is very similar, if not the very same model chainsaw used in the original film.  Go to the Fan Foto section and click his name.

I've added a bunch of original TCM movie memorabilia to the memorabilia section.  Many thanks again to Rick Balin for his continued contributions!

And Sk8Lover has sent in his pics of the house used in the 2003 TCM remake.  Go to the Fan Foto section and look under his name.
