Outside of John Carpenter, there may be no director whose filmography has been better served by Scream Factory than Tobe Hooper. Though his post-Texas Chain Saw career has rarely gotten much respect in the past, Scream Factory’s special edition Blu-ray releases of titles like The Funhouse, Lifeforce, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2, and his remake of Invaders from Mars have gone a long way towards making horror fans revisit and reconsider a number of his other films, hopefully learning to appreciate his talent and his genius in the process.
