Well it's true. OP did not lie to us today.

Hooper is kind of like Wes Craven. You remember a handful of really great movies and you look at his filmography and just see 75% schlock.

Any TCM, TCM 2, Salem's Lot, The Funhouse, and Lifeforce are all good stuff.

We were just talking about him! Ths is hitting too hard.

Even if Hooper was a crack abusing hack that Spielberg alwas had to bail out....

He will be missed. Like George Romero who recently passed, he created some of the most influential and amazing horror films ever. Love the original Chainsaw, and the sequel as a cult guilty pleasure. Sad to hear.

You mean like the vast majority of directors with a decently long career.

Anyway, when I heard there was going to be a Poltergeist reboot/remake I hoped it would be him directing, and that was pretty much the last time his name popped into my head until now.

RIP Tobe

>>86925307
He barely had anything to do with Poltergeist.

I mean, it's not like he directed it or anything...

Am I the only one who prefers Chainsaw 2 to Chainsaw 1?

>>86925338
He didn't. Steven Spielberg did. Due to union issues Hooper's name was used. Everyone on the cast said that Spielberg directed it.

>>86924914
That's some shit. TCM is genuinely one of the greatest movies ever made.

>Am I the only one who prefers Chainsaw 2 to Chainsaw 1?

I remember seeing TCM 2 as a kid back in the early 1990s and thinking it was really weird and wild and I had fond memories of it.

I saw it again recently and it was different and not as great as I had remembered. Most of the entire second half is just Dennis Hopper walking around screaming and singing and chopping through wooden beams with his chainsaw. He sneaks into the bad guys lair and they don't even know he's there and he just wanders around for about forty minutes of the movie shouting and singing to himself.

RIP Tobe, dude

I've heard this nonsense before, show me anything to back this up with

>>86925448
It's been backed up since it came out. Just do a simple internet search.

http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/poltergeist-steven-spielberg-director-conspiracy-theory-confirmed-tobe-hooper-a7846651.html

>Claims which have now been more-or-less confirmed by one of Poltergeist's own crew members, John Leonetti. A director now in his own right, behind 2014's Annabelle, Leonetti worked as first assistant camera on the film and revealed the truth to the Shock Waves podcast.

>"It was a very intense, very fun, very technical movie to work on. There’s a lot going on. And candidly… Steven Spielberg directed that movie. There’s no question," he stated. "However, Tobe Hooper – I adore. I love that man so much."

>"Hooper was so nice and just happy to be there. He creatively had input," he elaborated. "Steven developed the movie, and it was his to direct, except there was anticipation of a director’s strike, so he was ‘the producer’ but really he directed it in case there was going to be a strike and Tobe was cool with that."

Not just him though. Through out the years other crew and cast members like Craig T. Nelson have all said that Spielberg directed.

Sorry but it's true.

>>86924914
Texas Chainsaw Massacre is the best horror film I've ever seen.

Plus he got us Elizabeth Berridge's awesome tits on screen and a copious amount of nude Mathilda May.

RIP in peace.

>Zelda Rubinstein: I can tell you that Steven directed all six days I was there. I only worked six days on the film and Steven was there. Tobe set up the shots and Steven made the adjustments. You’re not going to hear that from Tobe Hooper, you’ll hear it from Zelda, because that was my honest to God experience.

>>86925558

I wouldn't believe that retard Zelda Rubinstein, she could make up anything.

However hearing one of the camera assistant who were there for the entire shoot say it was Spielberg directing certainly has weight.

You really don't know? I mean it's pretty clear from watching Poltergeist that it's just Close Encounters but with ghosts.

>another white guy dies

who the fuck care?

>>86928937
But that's sort of the Spielberg golden era where he made movies with a simple premise:
What if ghosts were real?
What if UFOs were real?
What if sea monsters were real?
And so how would one tell a story about these topics on screen if these things were real?

Anyhow this is a Toby Hooper thread, so sorry you're dead man, you gave us some neat stuff.
