Fellow horror directors praise Midnight Movie
This week saw the release of Tobe Hooper’s novel “Midnight Movie.”
And to tie in with its debut in stores, an official site has launched for the director of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Funhouse.
There, John Carpenter, Rob Zombie, John Landis and Darren Bousman weigh in with their praise for the book. You can also read an excerpt. Go check it out!
The good news: Director Tobe Hooper has been invited to speak at a screening of Destiny Express, a movie he wrote and directed as a teenager, but that hasnât seen the light of day in decades. And Hooperâs fans are ecstatic.
The bad news: Destiny Express proves to be a killer…literally. As the death toll mounts, Tobe embarks on a desperate journey to understand the filmâs thirty-year-old origins â and put an end to the strange epidemic his creation has set in motion.
Featuring the terror, humor, and sly documentary style Hooper devotees remember from such classics as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Midnight Movie is vintage Tobe Hooper, again demonstrating the directorâs place as one of the godfathers of modern horror.
