Director Tobe Hooper has died, aged 74.
The acclaimed horror director – whose most famous works include ‘The Texas Chain Saw Massacre’ and ‘Poltergeist’ – died on Saturday at Sherman Oaks, California, according to the Los Angeles County Coroner.
The circumstances of his death are currently unknown.


Considered one of the pioneers of horror, Tobe Hooper made not just one, but two of the most influential horror movies of all time – ‘The Texas Chain Saw Massacre’ back in 1974, followed by ‘Poltergeist’ in 1982.
‘The Texas Chain Saw Massacre’ was produced by Hopper on a low budget of just $300,000… and went on to rake in a whopping $30 million at the box office, becoming a favourite at drive-in movie theatres.

TCM was made the way horror movies should be made. Use the unseen just as much as the seen to build suspense and horror. Too many horror movies today use in-your-face violence and special effects to "scare" you. It had violence but when you think about it it was pretty light on the amount of violence when compared to what we see on TV today.
