The house from the original Texas Chain Saw Massacre is today a restaurant in Kingsland, Texas, called Hooper's. It just a little over an hour from me, and that's where we went today for my birthday. It's pretty cool, and the food is good too.

#RIP Tim Curry

This year can stop with the killing already. Enough is enough.

Ridley Scott Confirms ‘Alien: Convenant’ Follow-Up Is In Development With Michael Fassbender

Ridley Scott had been saying for years that his plan was for Prometheus and Alien: Covenant to be the first two parts of a trilogy, with the third film – at one point apparently titled Alien: Awakening – set to dovetail directly into the events of the original Alien.  It seems that follow-up is finally happening! In a chat […]

#WrongTurn (2021)

The 7th entry of this hit-or-miss series. Notice how it's simply called "Wrong Turn" without a number. This is because it's not exactly the same as the others and doesn't deal with inbred hillbillies so much as cultist hunters living in their own twisted paradise.

A girl goes hiking with her friends, they get hunted, blah blah. You know the story. Her dad (Matthew Modine) goes looking for her, it's a mess, and without spoiling anything... it's actually pretty good. Quite violent, no eye-rolling moments, and a pretty cruel romp overall. And just when you think it's over, there's a twist. I actually liked the ending, even though I kept feeling like it was going to turn stupid at any moment, but it didn't.

One of the better entries of the series.

#PsychoKiller (2026)

The movie begins with our psycho killer driving down an empty highway. A highway police officer decides to pull him over for absolutely no reason, so the psycho kills him and takes off. Highway officer's wife witnesses this, and decides to hunt this jackass, and so our movie begins.

The "slasher" as he's called is a big masked beefcake with long hair whose face is always obscured by shadows. He's also a Satanist, and he thinks he's cool as shit, but all that edginess that he thinks is working in his favor is really dragging him down. Yeah, he's hacking people up with an axe, but it's often CGI blood, which ruins everything.

Eventually, highway patrol officer's wife figures out his plan, which is way bigger than a typical serial killer's plot needs to be, and takes him out. But in typical "slasher" fashion, he's still alive and in tact enough that they have to bait us with a sequel because they have too much faith that this villain can carry a franchise.

Honestly, it's not all bad. It's well made enough, but it's definitely more arrogant than it needs to be, and our guy clearly thinks he's the most imposing guy ever just because he's got plot armor.

@Box_a_Hair, you've been vindicated:

Happy #TexasChainsawMassacre Day.

I guess we're still waiting on news about Curry Barker's new entry. I don't get why they announced it, then started announcing other projects for him. Maybe it fell through and they're hoping we forget about it?

Also #RIP Frank Beard. The drummer from ZZ Top who surprisingly did not have a beard. Age 77, started having health issues not long ago and had to quit touring. Not sure if they specified what the cause was yet.

I saw them live in 2018. They were great.

#RIP Hayden Panettiere, she appeared as Kirby in Scream 4 and VI.
