"Graverobbing in Texas is this hour's top news story. Subsequent investigation has revealed at least a dozen empty crypts, and it's feared more will turn up as the probe continues."
2024 marks the 50th anniversary of one of the greatest films ever made: Tobe Hooper's THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE. A film so unrelenting in its vision and violence, it's just as effective in making your skin crawl today as it did for audiences brave enough to surrender their eyeballs to it in 1974. Developed as part of a series of posters on display recently at anniversary screenings at the MoMA.
24” x 36”, 3-color silkscreen poster. Hand numbered. Artwork by Rob Jones.
Edition of 135. Printed by DL Screenprinting in the USA.
"As a member of the Texan granfalloon and admirer of Tobe Hooper, I’m pleased such an austere institution as the MoMA recognizes his bold vision that feels so bloody.
Feels weird to watch a horror movie in a museum. Not sure it’s conducive for the visceral nature of the genre. Like trying to watch it in a classroom where you feel the atomosphere of study rather than the desire to experience gooseflesh.
To that effect, I made a museum piece the poster’s focal point: art director Robert A. Burns’ original screen-worn Leatherface mask. Residing in Austin, TX’s Harry Ransom Center, this genuine article remained unwashed of Gunnar Hansen’s roiling sweat rivers straight through to his final frantic asphalt gavotte. Ransom Center treats it better than Tobe treated himself, unfortunately." -- Rob Jones
