Damn I just heard the news. How very sad:(

R.I.P.

Another sad loss for the horror genre.First Craven then Romero now Hooper.

reply

Sad news indeed. He did some great horror films.

reply

That's so sad. Nearly everyone who was in, or worked on, 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre' has since passed. A lot of them were not that old either.

Really sucks
RIP
im gonna watch one of his movies later tonight after everyone goes to bed
Real sad (and no cause of death announced -anyone hear?)

reply

How much of "Poltergeist" did he actually direct? The last ten minutes of that movie has a take-no-prisoners feel I associate a lot more with Hooper than I do Spielberg.

reply

Not really sure about that
I only heard that he was having some personal stuff going on during production...i really cant say sorry Angular

reply

RIP....very sad. I'll also watch some of his movies tonight in tribute.

reply

His Life Force has sadly ended. The Space Vampires got him.

Life Force was my favourite, followed by Invaders from Mars. I know... two of his worst, according to many.

RIP.

reply

I enjoyed both very much Mike so no worries here
My pal is doing Invaders tonight and i just finished Funhouse a little while ago
This guy was a big deal to a bunch of us :) see you around!

reply

Yeah, people can get bent. Both Invaders from Mars and Lifeforce are flippin' awesome!
