- N.p.: N.p., 1974
N.p.: N.p., 1974. Vintage borderless color reference photograph from the 1974 film, showing actor Gunnar Hansen in costume as Leatherface. Provenance labels on the verso.
From the archive of film historian and author Joel Finler.
Loosely based on the crimes of serial murderer and body snatcher Ed Gein. Shot on a shoestring budget, with the cast mostly composed of unknown Texan actors, Tobe Hooper's second feature film courted controversy upon release for its grisly violence and critical view of US politics, and is now rightfully considered a slasher cult classic.
Set and shot on location in Round Rock, Watterson, Austin, and San Marcos, Texas.
5 x 7 inches. Fine.
Thrower, Nightmare USA.
