And while the house does indeed have new owners, we’ve learned some great news about its future this week. The house has played host to the Grand Central Café restaurant for the last several years, making it a top “bucket list” destination for horror fans around the world. Just last month, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre star Allen Danziger had expressed concern on social media about the movie’s iconic filming location being potentially torn down by its new owners, of course referring to the original Leatherface house that’s located in Kingsland, Texas. Here’s hoping the new owners see the value in preserving this iconic location. We haven’t heard any confirmation on those plans at this time, but we’ll be sure to keep you posted. In response to a comment left by a fan on the post, Danziger also notes that the new owners of the house “may tear it down,” this according to rumors that he’s been hearing lately. Scheduled to appear will be the Hitchiker, Ed Neil, Jerry the Van Driver, Allen Danziger, and special guest Parrish Randell, Circus of the Dead.” Festivities start at 3 PM and the movie will begin at sundown, approximately 7 PM. This is possibly the last opportunity to enjoy the original movie on the grounds of the iconic house.”ĭanziger’s post continues, “Join us for this FREE Event, featuring live music, food, drinks, a costume competition, and a special awards ceremony for Allen Danziger’s recent Best Supporting Actor award prior to the showing of the movie. Saturday, October 29 we will be celebrating Halloween at The Texas Chainsaw Massacre House in Kingsland. He writes, “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre house has been sold. Taking to Instagram this week to promote a Chain Saw-themed event taking place at the house on October 29, Danziger notes that the event may end up being the last of its kind. Yes, that means you’re able to eat a meal inside Leatherface’s house, which makes for a truly meta experience.īut Texas Chain Saw Massacre star Allen “Jerry” Danziger brings us the concerning news this week that the iconic house has apparently been sold… and may be demolished soon. There's nothing for people who actually want to be scared here, just grossed out.Located in Kingsland, Texas, the original Leatherface house from Tobe Hooper’s The Texas Chain Saw Massacre has long been a “bucket list” destination for horror fans, the house playing host to the Grand Central Café restaurant for the last several years. That really disappointed me, because Adam's capture in Saw I was one of the scarier scenes I've seen in a movie in a long time. There are some *shocking* moments in this film, some cringe-inducing moments, but nothing actually scary. The creators seemed to want to make a film about how people's lives are dictated by their unavoidable flaws (driven home by the ending, the last few twists, and the general character of the cop, all of which are the reason my rating is as high as it is), and how panic destroys people. Instead, I got the evil genius (Tobin Bell is great as Jigsaw, by the way, one of the parts of the film I really enjoyed) going to a lot of work for some people who, frankly, don't seem to appreciate it. The movie I wanted to see was about people adapting to their situation and using their brains against that of an evil genius. I catch a whiff of interesting puzzle-solving, instead I have a lot of yelling. I really wanted to like Saw II, but I felt like I was being teased. At the core, both movies are about the same thing: Elaborate puzzles that stupid people ignore so they can spend more time yelling at each other. I have the same main problem I had with Saw II that I had with the original (Shockingly enough, not the gaping plot holes).
