STL Horror: Texas Chainsaw Halloween Hootenanny

In honor of Halloween and the many fantastic events that are happening around St. Louis this week, we here at Destroy the Brain will be spotlighting a different Halloween themed event every day this week.  St. Louis is a city that loves the haunting holiday, and what is better than joining in in the fun by partaking in one of these horror themed happenings.

Earlier this month, Destroy the Brain showed The Texas Chain Saw Massacre as part of its Late Nite Grindhouse program at the Hi-Pointe Theatre here in St. Louis, Missouri. The film still holds potency after 37 years. Now, Scott Ford is bringing John Dugan, the man who played Grandpa, to St. Louis for a glorious hootenanny called Texas Chainsaw Halloween Hootenanny!

Scott Ford runs one of the largest movie memorabilia businesses in the midwest and he can’t wait for everyone in the St. Louis area to meet Grandpa! Not only that but there will be live bands playing this show as well. The bands are Dead Dick Hammer & the T.B.A. Band who hail from Kentucky. You can listen to a sample of songs on their ReverbNation which is some great rockabilly horror music. Also playing is St. Louis’ own The Saw is Family which is old school rock with humorous lyrics.

Also, our good friend Tom Stockman will be showing the 8mm version of Texas Chain Saw Massacre throughout the night! A Ed Gein Look-Alike Contest and the first 40 people in the door get an Ed Gein paper-stick mask!

You can check out Scott’s website at SCOTTFORDSDRIVEINGRAPHICS.COM. All the info for the show is down below as well as some YouTube videos featuring both bands.
