Even the TCM sequel was interesting. But Hooper's original TCM remains in a class by itself. I forgot to mention that it also just came out on Blu-Ray! The disk is packed with special features and commentaries - I just picked it up and look forward to submerging myself in the mayhem.

Just like NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, it was a miracle it actually got produced, edited, and distributed. It's also a shame that after all the hard work Hooper and his associates were never really able to enjoy its success completely or go on to be the masters of their fates. Subsequent Hooper films were disappointing to say the least. CHAINSAW though is some kind of masterpiece and I look forward to watching this documentary.
