Man how cool! Caroline Williams is just so lovely too! You are so fortunate to get to visit and create all this. Thank you so much for all the time and energy to make these vids ❤️✌🏻

[@robalt1983]

It's sad a lot of the buildings and sets are long gone. Still a very well put together video. Thank you.

[@branscombe_]

very well done! Sean put the work in!

[@Badvibesdude]

I remember watching TCM 2 as a kid and my grandfather kept going on about how bad it would be for the chainsaw to use it the way Lefty did during his test run. Pappy grew up during the Great Depression and knew how to make stuff last.

[@christopherquinlan7839]

Cool video. Sad some of the buildings are gone.

This was so much fun! Thank you for all the amazing videos you do!!!

[@derekw.7255]

I would kill to hear Sean's commentary over the Horror's Hallowed Ground episodes. I just saw it mentioned in the video description of an earlier episode as a possibility during the pandemic. I had no idea there was any kind of bad blood regarding the content of some of the episodes. These are by far the best features of any Scream Factory blu-ray and they are lucky to have the content. I've purchased their blu-rays specifically for HHG.

[@derekw.7255]

I'm so psyched to see this episode. I have to finally finish watching the actual film.

Im curious as to what happened to the Sawyers blue truck??? I would love to own it or make a similar build.

I thought the radio station was on Guadalupe and the back alleyway of 7ths street . The building looked like the radiostation. I was told that by a local pawn shop owner, when I was looking for guitars a few summers ago .

[@malfuncsean]

Not that I've ever heard. I'm going off of what Stretch herself, Caroline Williams told me.

[@teemoleague907]

@@malfuncsean that's cool you got her on. I have looked at austin archive photos from 60s through 89. And that building is not there. I analyzed ariel shots from planes and helicopters. Until there is archeology or historical data, I will always wonder. I really enjoy your show and hope you can make more.

[@malfuncsean]

@@teemoleague907 Well hey if you ever find concrete proof it was elsewhere please let me know. She very well could have been mistaken.

[@teemoleague907]

@@malfuncsean so I was wrong and you were close. The radio station was shot on 3rd street west between Guadalupe and San antonio street. One block over. It would of been directly across the liberty lunch and Lamar building but closer to third street and closer to the parking garage on san antonio. Here's the pic you can line up up on google map looking towards the westside of the hobby jr building. www.imdb.com/title/tt0092076/mediaviewer/rm2500835585/

SAME!!

[@myvideosJamesClarke]

I lived in Dallas and heard they were filming in Bastrop,Texas so I decided to drive down and see what I could see and I'm certain I drove across the famous bridge not knowing it would later be in the film and then came across a open costume trailer during the day, I could see part of the Leatherface costume hanging there and man I was excited, thought I would strike up a conversation with this crew lady inside and was greeted with this scream of disapproval for talking to her. Completely rude to me. But none the less it was a thrill to see it. Also driving down I-35 near Prairie Dell I could see remnants of the amusement park used in the film either on my way down to the set or a couple of years later.

[@branscombe_]

awesome story! love this

[@thunderbird66613]

Dennis Hopper is a true legend lost in time

[@rhymeandreasoning]

I remember as a kid seeing the trailer for The Texas Chainsaw Massacre on tv in the evening. I happened to catch it a few times. SCARED THE LIVING HELL OUT OF ME. When you are a kid you don't realize the movies are fake.

[@MichaelHutchison93]

I’ve been binging these location series, absolutely love them!

[@malfuncsean]

Glad you are enjoying them. I have a bunch of new episodes shot just have to edit them.

[@tobiasrobinson4888]

This was great !! Is Stretch from Austin ? Assuming she is when she said she was walking down the street some time back . Great job

[@Chudchanning]

Man I love what you do. I'm only 30 years old but I've been getting tore up inside watching all the old buildings and prairies I grew up with get leveled and turned into shopping centers and warehouses and housing developments. So much land and history destroyed for blind consumerism and profit chasing in mere decades. I hate how urbanization spreads like mold on the landscape

[@malfuncsean]

Yes it sucks. Glad you enjoyed the video though.

[@sololuisvlogs]

I remember watching this movie as a kid literally scaring the shit out me . Lol The car chase…..

[@rstofleth]

Good stuff man I own several copies of that movie from a VHS to a DVD Blu-ray and the list goes on keep up the good work the Halloween and Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchises are my favorite

[@The_Texorcist]

I love TCM2. Maybe it’s because I saw it at such a young age and the tongue in cheek humor of it appealed to my young mind. In my teens I began to respect it because of how different of a tone to the original it had. By that time I had seen alien/aliens, gremlins/gremlins 2 and saw that TCM 2 wasn’t unique in how it went it’s own way. As Aliens went more action horror compared to the spooky old house feel of Aliens or how Gremlins 2 went full Merry Melodies compared to the dark humor of Gremlins. TCM was revolutionary and instead of doing the same movie and tone all over again Tobe Hooper decided to make it it’s own animal by giving it a twisted dark humor vibe. While TCM is an intense horror flick, TCM 2 is just a fun movie.

[@joeboo8626]

18:09 - I believe that is the old train tunnel structure. I used to live in Killeen, TX, and loved horror movies. We moved to Germany in '85 where I finally saw TCM2. Had no idea some outside shots were filmed at the old "Prairie Dell Lake" park we went to in the early 80s. We moved back to Killeen in 1989 and spent an afternoon looking for it (no internet) before finding out it was demolished years later. Prairie Dell Lake also had an arcade (broken up into several areas), first time I played Venture. The rides weren't big (carnival style, tilt o whirl, type stuff). It's been almost 40 years, but I still remember the stale nachos and the commercial jingle. :D

[@jefftotheleftt]

great info, plus there was a side building that housed the charlie brown hangout/bakery/ice cream parlor sporting with a weird sign proclaiming: freedom hill international bank- we have a good rate of interest in our bread plans were also in the works to build on the site next to the matterhorn replica the world's largest rollercoaster, yet it never happened since the owner didn't have enough money wasn't there also: a roller skating rink? indoor cliff divers next to the tourist restaurant where the waiters served roast beef on styrofoam plates some guy dressed up in a jalapeno costume doled out hard candy to children? wooden cabins overlooking the rear lake? stuntman bob elmore mentions in an interview about undeground long tunnels where that scene was filmed of bubba chasing stretch before the wooden support beams/rocks caves in director tobe hooper said it was a very strange place

[@jefftotheleftt]

additional info: 75 acre site, located off a service road parallel to interstate 30 (jarrell, bell county, texas) opened in 1979 by frank weiss, damaged by tornado in 1980 and fell into bankruptcy foreclosure in 1983, purchased by ohio businessman phillip fry 70 feet tall fiberglass stucco mountain replica of switzerland's matterhorn (from a distance looked like paper mache) the roller skating rink was 100 feet long inside the "mountain" featured miniature golf plus gift shops

Tom Morga's a great guy, met him at a con a few years back. Being a HUGE Ghostbusters fan i was mainly talking to him about being Egon's stunt double. But i do remember one thing, his handler quite rudely demanded i pay for my autographs now, and i said, this guys played Jason, Michael Myers and Leatherface, you really think i;m gonna run off :)

I saw this film when it first came out and still think it’s the best of the chainsaw movies (my favorite anyway) I liked the humor and characters plus it had some great horror and atmospheric vibe. I’m glad that it’s finally getting the recognition it deserves in the annals of horror movie history. 👍💯

[@gaba-goo3733]

Yess, i don't like when people say poltergiest feels nothing like a tobe hooper film and only a Spielberg film, yes it feels like Spielberg but Texas chainsaw 2 and poltergiest both have that awesome 80s giddy horror feel that only Tobe hooper could create.

My first Texas Chainsaw film as a kid in the mid 80s, scary and fun. I remember thinking what heck happened to everyone with a classic Chainsaw dubious ending👍 . I met Bill Moseley at Nuke the Fridge over at Frank and Sons . Ultimate cult classic, I can't even call this classic a cult film it's such an awesome sequel 👍🌴😎🎬

I remember my mom making me watch the OG Texas Chainsaw and part 2 as a kid! I couldn’t stand all gross gore, horror! My mom my family and kids love HORROR! Anything, but I CAN’T ~NO WAY watch the remake of the Texas Chainsaw massacre with Jessica Biel! That and any of the Hostel movies! Nope!

Sean, thank you! I knew of you from your Halloween and The Fog episodes for the Blu-ray releases. Great job as always. You should do an episode for ONE DARK NIGHT with Meg Tilly. The graveyard is in L.A. The address is clearly in a shot of the movie where the caretaker locks the gate in the evening. I believe the same cemetery was used in HORROR STAR (Frightmare) starring Ferdinand Mayne as the aging actor who dies and comes back to wreak havoc on a horror movie fan club who stole his body from the mausoleum. Great stuff. lol

I love TCM 2. My uncle worked in a video store back in the 80s and gave me a TCM 2 soundtrack cassette tape, which I still have to this day. It was my introduction to the TCM movies. I didn't actually see TCM 2 until the early 90s when I was a little older, but it's a great movie and doesn't always get enough love. The first one and part 2 are my favorites of the franchise, by far. Hopefully, one day, we'll get to see a release of "All American Massacre." It's a shame that one was never finished and released.

All this building over something that in the future no one will ever know that their favorite horror film location was there just makes me want to remember what happened with Cabrini green.And another feeling that times are changing and that if you want to shoot in the place where that last horror film was shot you better get started.
