Director Tobe Hooper on the set of TCM

Decades later, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre remains a film of such brutal intensity, such visceral majesty, that it is still being unpacked by film writers, revered and imitated and absorbed by filmmakers. It's a film so potent that it was banned in the UK for its extremity, even though there is barely a drop of blood to be seen. — Richard Whitaker for the Austin Chronicle. August 28th, 2017

Robert Burns was an art director and production/set designer. Burns' twisted, dark imagination created the demented human butcher house and bone furniture of the Sawyer family in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre; the otherworldly, bone-littered, spirit-haunted landscape in The Hills Have Eyes; the demented ballet and haunting imagery of the mannequins in Tourist Trap; the hidden, dark world lurking right beneath the one we know in The Howling; the twisted, modern-appliance-as-execution-chamber humor of Microwave Massacre; and the blood-soaked laboratory of Re-Animator. Burns created corpses for Poltergeist, was dialect coach on Ballad of the Sad Café, was art director for Disco Godfather, wrote and directed Mongrel, and starred in Confessions of a Serial Killer. — Louis Black for the Austin Chronicle. June 4, 2004
