So did anyone attend this screening? I did and thought it was a great way to spend Halloween--in the presence of Tobe Hooper and viewing one of the greatest horror films of all time. It was actually the first time I've seen The Texas Chainsaw Massacre in a movie theatre, as I was too young to see it in 1974. Hooper introduced the film beforehand and participated in an excellent Q&A afterwards whereupon he was mobbed by autograph seekers at the conclusion of the evening. I didn't stay for either of the midnight screenings--too many other Halloween activities to do that weekend.
Hooper said he had been to a screening at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood three weeks ago, but the print in Dallas actually looked better. It was a new 35mm print struck from the original negative. I have to assume that this was the transfer that Elite did for the laserdisc, as Hooper mentioned that the original 16mm had disintegrated and only exists digitally (from when Elite remastered it by making a new 16mm internegative from the original A/B roll negatives).
As our own CineShlocker is fond of quoting from Joe Bob Briggs: “The Saw is King.”
