The Gas Station From 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre' Is Opening As A Horror-Themed BBQ Restaurant

Released in 1974, Tobe Hooper’s low-budget slasher film, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre , went on to become a watermark for grisly, cinematic affairs. Based partly on the crimes of Ed Gein, the film featured a family of murderers who terrorize a group of youngsters. The primary heavy in the movies, Leatherface, inspired a gaggle of imitations and sequels, the most recent being an origin story named after the monstrous maniac that’s set to debut later this year.
