The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986) - Filming Locations - Then and Now - Horror's Hallowed Grounds

Horror's Hallowed Grounds: Episode 14 - The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986). One day Michael Felsher of Red Shirt Pictures calls me up and asks if I would be interested in doing an HHG episode for The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2 because he was doing all of the bonus features for the Scream Factory release. Unfortunately there was very little budget wise so in order for this to happen Michael would have to handle all of the behind the camera stuff instead of my usual crew of Buz doing the camera work and Andrew doing the editing. I had to get their blessings before I agreed and they were cool with it. So I traveled to Austin where I met up with Michael and we spent a couple of days filming. While we were there we also hit up a bunch of Dazed and Confused locations. It was a really fun trip and I think the episode turned out great. Caroline Williams was willing to fly out and join us but sadly there was no money for that. Instead she Facetimed with me and still got to be part of the episode. SUBSCRIBE → bit.ly/2TAyK0B

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.

[@cfhcowboy9292]

This never gets old . I've watched it several times and it still is fun to watch .

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@robalt1983]

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

[@Robert-nu4vc]

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.

[@malfuncsean]

I doubt they will ever be officially released.

[@happilieverholli9994]

[@christopherquinlan7839]

Cool video. Sad some of the buildings are gone.

[@jonesy2111]

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.

[@NASTYVEGASNATE]

Sean for half a second when you were talking with Carolina Williams, I thought you were gonna flush. 😂

Fun to watch. I've lived in Austin all my life. Had no idea that bar i pass all the time was the chainsaw shop. Wild😳

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

[@scottteeselink6251]

Love this film!! It's one of my favorites!!

[@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.

[@sololuisvlogs]

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

[@chrisstephens5310]

Just a great job keep up your hard work I have been a fan for years....

[@billstrikesback]

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 :)

[@Inspector-71]

Very cool, been a fan of the movie since I first saw it in the late 80s on vhs when I was a kid

[@theshagnetwork]

Very interesting and funny. Brilliantly presented!

[@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.

[@SDGJR1980]

Great job bro I always wonder if that battle land place was still around, Thanks buddy boy.

This was one of the best then & now locations. That I’ve ever seen great detailing, editing and story telling! Thanks for this one, one of my favorite movies. But I gotta question! Where’s the little fryhouse?! Lol 😆

[@malfuncsean]

Sadly the fry house was eaten soon after filming.

[@LeeTheVet]

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

[@robsim4692]

I have to admit your dedication and style of editing really adds a quality to you videos that's head and shoulders above the rest! Now that I said that back to the regular scheduled comments of being a d**k.

[@sladeisforever]

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.

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👍 .
