This is where I take the time to sit down and post all the great Fan Foto submissions I've received for the past few weeks, but haven't had time to post them all.  So follow the links below to check them out.  But I'm also going to carry over some news and information from yesterday's news, because that news needs to stay on this page and be read for a while longer.

I'm not sure if I posted this before, but the Texas A&M newspaper did a short interview of me a few others for their newspaper.  You can check that out HERE.  I've also added it to the links section under my name for interviews.

This is probably old news to everyone, but have you seen the new life-size Leatherface doll that has sound?  Click on the pictures for a larger version.  Pics courtesy of Larry New.
           

I got an e-mail from the current owners of the gas station in Bastrop, the same gas station that was used in the original 1974 Texas Chainsaw Massacre.  They're putting the building and the property up for sale.  Here's an excerpt of the e-mail from the owner.

"My husband and I are selling the property and would like for you to pass this on to the fans. The original building is still there and sits on 1 acre. The only changes we made were interior surface and added kitchen. It is make ready for bar, small restaurant, stage for live music or convenience store."

For information on how to contact them and the asking price for the building and the land, you can e-mail me.  Serious inquiries only, please.

On my last update, I forgot an important link.  The Dallas News crew came and spent a day with me going to the various original film locations for a multi-media presentation on their site.  It's simply amazing!  It's HERE.

A very good interview of Kim Henkel has been written in the Port Aransas South Jetty, October 26th issue.  There isn't much new in the article that we basically didn't already know, but I should point out a couple of interesting bits of information in it.  #1, Kim is working on a documentary about Lou Perryman, one of the crew that was a cameraman for the original movie, but he's better known as "L.G." from TCM 2.  #2, Kim is in talks with Tobe Hooper about writing a book that talks about the Chainsaw phenomenon since the movie's release.  Now THAT sounds interesting!  Especially if it's written by the dynamic duo.  I hope to have the article scanned and posted to this site soon.  Only problem is, my scanner died a while back.  :(  So, if anyone has a spare scanner, or knows where I can get a hold of one at a good price, I hope you'll drop me an e-mail about it.

I have a DVD copy of the E! True Hollywood Story: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre that was given to me by E! networks.  If anyone would like a copy of it, send me a blank DVD disc and a postage paid return envelope.  I plan on getting copies made of it very soon.  Or, you can PayPal me $10 to purchase the disc, the shipping supplies and postage, and I'll send it to you.  Use timh@texaschainsawmassacre.net for the e-mail address to send it to.  If you'd rather send a money order, please make it out to Tim Harden for $10.  Here's the address.
