In this episode of Terror Talk Podcast, we rev up the chainsaw and dive into the horror legacy of Tobe Hooper, the groundbreaking director behind The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Poltergeist, and Salem’s Lot. Join us as we unpack Hooper's unique blend of suburban fear, supernatural tension, and raw terror that shaped modern horror.

We explore his directorial trademarks, the cultural impact of Texas Chainsaw Massacre, how Poltergeist blurred the lines between Hooper and Spielberg, and the eerie slow burn of Salem’s Lot. Plus, it’s time for another round of Horror Facts with Tobe—a trivia segment filled with weird and wonderful facts that will have horror fans shouting at their speakers.

Whether you're a horror newbie or a long-time gorehound, this one's for you.
