It's criminal that there aren't more discussions about Tobe Hooper here.

He's the G.O.A.T for me.

Four of his films make my top ten Horror films of all time. (The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, The Funhouse, Poltergeist & Lifeforce).

Eaten Alive, Salem's Lot & The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 are great too.

TCM alone puts him in the conversation. Biggest competition from Romero and Carpenter.

Totally agree. I was thrilled to come across that I'm Dangerous Tonight got a Blu-ray release with some good extras and I have to imagine it's because it was directed by Tobe. He's an important part of not just horror film history but movie history in general because of his influence.
