Carpenter on The Texax Chainsaw Massacre: “Tobe [Hooper] really hit the times when he did that movie, more than almost any other film. I remember going to see it when it was out here in Los Angeles – it was ‘74 or ’75 – and I remember that experience of seeing it for the first time. Jeez. What makes it all the more effective is the fact it’s so funny.”
