The Texas Chain Saw Massacre Original Score - "Main Title"

So nothing going on today at the Cemetery but the last of putting everything away for another year. Definitely a low energy day, and I wasn't even going to post anything today. Until I caught wind of this!

After TWELVE YEARS of working on this deal, Waxwork Records is FINALLY announcing the release of what horror score and soundtrack collectors (like myself) consider one of the true holy grails, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre original 1974 film score by Tobe Hooper and Wayne Bell!

I am beyond excited for this! And if the rest of the score is anything like this first track, it will be a mandatory purchase for horror and Halloween fans alike! Press play and 30 seconds in, you will know exactly what this is!

Enjoy!

  

Rest In Peace, Tobe Hooper

Another horror legend has passed. Tobe Hooper, director of classics like Poltergeist and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, died Saturday at age 74. Rest in peace, Tobe.

You can read more about Hooper's passing here.

And the question that comes to my mind is that in losing two giants in the world of horror films (George Romero and now Tobe Hooper), which directors will step up and become the marquee names to lead the genre through the next generation?

And as I did with the passing of George Romero, I will sit down tonight and toast Hooper with a viewing of his 1974 masterpiece...
