Gunnar Hansen, who played the iconic villain Leatherface in the original "Texas Chain Saw Massacre," died Saturday of pancreatic cancer at his home in Maine, his agent said. He was 68.

Hansen starred in the 1974 film that has become a classic among horror-movie aficionados and spawned a series of sequels. In the movie, friends visiting their grandfather's house are hunted by Leatherface, a chain-saw wielding maniac.

Hansen's character in the movie "is one of the most iconic evil figures in the history of cinema," said his agent, Mike Eisenstadt, who confirmed the death.


In 2013, Hansen published his book "Chain Saw Confidential," which gave readers a behind-the-scenes look at how the film was made, Eisenstadt said.

Hansen lived in Maine for about 40 years, where he worked as an actor and writer, Eisenstadt said.

At the time of his death, Hansen was at work on a film called "Death House," his agent said. Hansen was a writer and producer of the film, which the Internet Movie Database says is about how a secret government facility becomes ground zero for the most horrific prison break in the history of mankind. The film is scheduled to come out next year, Eisenstadt said.

Hansen was born in Reykjavik, Iceland. He came to the U.S. and studied at the University of Texas, where he majored in English and Scandinavian Studies, Eisenstadt said.

Surviving Hansen is his partner of 13 years, Betty Tower.

Ready Player One by Ernest Cline



It's going to be a movie. I do believe Spielberg is going to direct. I thought it was quite good...


I'm enjoying it so far. More 80s pop culture references than you can shake a Rubik's Snake at.

Dating a married woman is a euphemism for having a sexual relation which is viable depending on the specifics of the two people Not advocating but recognize the complexity of relationships and how they get defined with some having open ended ones, some sharing their individual freedom. and others simply wanting to experiment without actually leaving just for novelty bordom, and a variety of issues that are not faced, addressed or necessarily avoided just another experiment in life Remember the average person in the US is married three times so lets get more mature in dealing with the reality of marriage and fidelity (77 per cent male and 56 per cent female cheat at some point in marriage) so pretending that most are faithful is a bit naive and a more mature and articulated view needs to be identified and acknowledged less we continue to act as liars and cheaters rather than acknowledging our ambiguous views of marital fidelity...


And let's not forget 93% of statistics are BS, and used to make a point that isn't there.

The Twilight Zone is one of the greatest anthology series of all time. Serling's Night Gallery was also really good.

Is anyone else looking forward to this as much as me? The Army Of Darkness is one of my favorite cheesy low budget movies of all time. In fact, I loved both Evil Dead films... :thumbsup:


Just got the Army Of Darkness Collector's Edition 3-disc Blu Ray set- it comes with the Theatrical Cut, the Director's Cut, the International Cut, and the TV Cut, also has a feature length making of documentary. Plus the ported extras from the previous releases.

It was fun. Bruce and Sam's humor shines through, great to see Ivan Raimi is a part of it as he came up with all of the great lines in Army Of Darkness.

It reminds me a lot of some of the comics based on The Evil Dead movies where Ash joins up with various people to fight the evil.

There is a small part of me that wishes we would have gotten the continuation of the original ending of Army Of Darkness. Though that would have been harder to have as a weekly series.

It's awful. The original Muppet show wasn't aimed specifically at kids, it had humor the adults could enjoy. Now it's just raunchy Muppets. Hey I like raunchy humor, but it doesn't belong anywhere near the Muppets.

Photo captured of a girl in the early 1900s at a gravesite. It wasn't until years later that the abnormality was discovered.


that's freaky, im glad I didn't see that last night/early hours this morning.


This photo was used in the book Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. The book uses real vintage photos to accompany the story.

Or his new girlfriend (the lady that works for the sorority)
Or Carrie Fisher's daughter (Chanel with ear muffs)

Yep, and she's even appearing in the new Star Wars movie with her mom.

Torgo .. My movie oracle .. Have you seen Stephen king's the dome .. Found season one and two cheap in a sale .. Can't remember watching either .. Was obviously a mini series . Think similar to V .. A town enclosed in some type of alien / supernatural force field . Wondering if worth buying ??? waving spock


I think so, especially if cheap. I like the first 2 seasons. The show took a nose dive in season 3, so it wasn't surprising that the show ended at the end of the 3rd season, even though they had originally planned on it being a 5 season series.

If you've read the book, don't expect the series to adhere to it.

thanks torgo .. I usually enjoy most Stephen king movies there is usually a twist that leaves me thinking wtf .. Will grab the dvds and let you know my thoughts :-)


Cool:smile: Watch for Stephen King's cameo in one of the episodes as one of the townspeople.
