Scenes From Imagined Films.
There are plenty of artists on Tumblr, and they are all very, very good. One such artist on Tumblr who is plentifully good goes by the name Jordon Bolton (@jordanbolton). He creates short stories told through storybook-like comics, and draws the universal from the particulars of everyday life: a couple on a bench, daily walks, someone waiting outside a restaurant. These are poetic works that will leave you with a particular throb, and form, above all, a testament to paying attention.
Scenes from Imagined Films, and his other works, are available over at his Etsy. Get 'em while they're still hot. We have compiled some samples of his pieces, including the particularly affecting "To The Substitute Art Teacher"—a beautiful reflection on, well, beauty.

nothing against Strahm dying but i think they should have made him surviving the traps a running gag. Hoffman sets up the 20th trap this week, takes his eyes off Peter clearly about to be dead one (1) time and he's just gone. come next morning Mark is in the precinct being greeted with the sight of Strahm, still clearly bloody but alive and pissed off

Hi, im a beginner horror enjoyer and im really disturbed by a lot of gore but i wanna understand the Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies bc ive heard theyre hugely influential on the genre (rightly so too)
I figured with all this id ask the foremost texas chainsaw scholar i am aware of
Could you tell me the basics, if its gross (im really bad at tolerating gross out horror and gore played realistic), and any fun tidbits?
If not i thank you for reading and hope you have a good day ^-^
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre was hugely influential on the genre and set the standard for low budget horror and inspired future filmmakers to rely more on psychological terror over gore & violence! It was also seemingly the birth of a lot of horror tropes, like big, masked killers and using power tools for weapons.
Texas Chainsaw's story is inspired by serial killers like Ed Gein and Elmer Wayne Henley. The movie’s director, Tobe Hooper, was inspired by the graphic coverage of violence by San Antonio news outlets and based elements of the plot on murderer Ed Gein, who was a notorious serial killer who made furniture out of human body parts and created a mask made of human skin. The movie’s underlying themes are mostly the horrors of isolation, and the dangers of unchecked capitalism. The movie is also a metaphor for the Nixon-era mayhem and the government’s deceit toward the public during the 1970s. Hooper intentionally misled audiences by claiming that the movie was based on a true story to attract a wider audience.
I honestly don't know how to give you the basics aside from a plot synopsis because I would, hand to God, be sitting here for about 12 hours minimum going into every weird little detail, like the intricacies of bubba's mental issues and being forced to take on a female role for his abusive older brothers, or all the absolutely insane shit that happened during filming. And that'd just be me talking about the FIRST film.
But if you want to ask me more questions or see more Texas chainsaw related stuff you can ask/look over at my blog @chainsawhouse. I just hate to gum up my main blog with this particular interest.
Also, my fun tidbit is that they've recently confirmed that there is a new Texas Chainsaw Massacre in the works, under the title 'Texas Chainsaw Legacy'! Very fun imo.
