- Horror's Hallowed Grounds: Episode 14 - The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986). One day Michael Felsher of Red Shirt Pictures calls me up and asks if I would be interested in doing an HHG episode for The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2 because he was doing all of the bonus features for the Scream Factory release. Unfortunately there was very little budget wise so in order for this to happen Michael would have to handle all of the behind the camera stuff instead of my usual crew of Buz doing the camera work and Andrew doing the editing. I had to get their blessings before I agreed and they were cool with it. So I traveled to Austin where I met up with Michael and we spent a couple of days filming. While we were there we also hit up a bunch of Dazed and Confused locations. It was a really fun trip and I think the episode turned out great. Caroline Williams was willing to fly out and join us but sadly there was no money for that. Instead she Facetimed with me and still got to be part of the episode. SUBSCRIBE → bit.ly/2TAyK0B

I remember watching TCM 2 as a kid and my grandfather kept going on about how bad it would be for the chainsaw to use it the way Lefty did during his test run. Pappy grew up during the Great Depression and knew how to make stuff last.
Man how cool! Caroline Williams is just so lovely too! You are so fortunate to get to visit and create all this. Thank you so much for all the time and energy to make these vids ❤️✌🏻
This was awesome . “My kid banana”
"My aching banana" lol

Thank you! Stories I got.

Ur the man sean love u vids bro .......hook them horns 🤘
Found him through Scream Factory.
I love ur adventures dude and I love ur collection in ur house
I lived in Dallas and heard they were filming in Bastrop,Texas so I decided to drive down and see what I could see and I'm certain I drove across the famous bridge not knowing it would later be in the film and then came across a open costume trailer during the day, I could see part of the Leatherface costume hanging there and man I was excited, thought I would strike up a conversation with this crew lady inside and was greeted with this scream of disapproval for talking to her. Completely rude to me. But none the less it was a thrill to see it. Also driving down I-35 near Prairie Dell I could see remnants of the amusement park used in the film either on my way down to the set or a couple of years later.
awesome story! love this
I remember as a kid seeing the trailer for The Texas Chainsaw Massacre on tv in the evening. I happened to catch it a few times. SCARED THE LIVING HELL OUT OF ME. When you are a kid you don't realize the movies are fake.
THIS WAS SO AWESOME, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH 4 THIS COOL JOURNEY INTO CINEMATIC HISTORY... TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE 2 FOREVER!! 🤘💥💥💯🤘🥲💯✨✨✨✨✨
Dennis Hopper is a true legend lost in time
This was great !! Is Stretch from Austin ? Assuming she is when she said she was walking down the street some time back . Great job
I remember watching this movie as a kid literally scaring the shit out me . Lol
The car chase…..
Good stuff man I own several copies of that movie from a VHS to a DVD Blu-ray and the list goes on keep up the good work the Halloween and Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchises are my favorite
I love TCM2. Maybe it’s because I saw it at such a young age and the tongue in cheek humor of it appealed to my young mind. In my teens I began to respect it because of how different of a tone to the original it had. By that time I had seen alien/aliens, gremlins/gremlins 2 and saw that TCM 2 wasn’t unique in how it went it’s own way. As Aliens went more action horror compared to the spooky old house feel of Aliens or how Gremlins 2 went full Merry Melodies compared to the dark humor of Gremlins. TCM was revolutionary and instead of doing the same movie and tone all over again Tobe Hooper decided to make it it’s own animal by giving it a twisted dark humor vibe.
While TCM is an intense horror flick, TCM 2 is just a fun movie.
It's sad a lot of the buildings and sets are long gone. Still a very well put together video. Thank you.
very well done! Sean put the work in!
Man I love what you do. I'm only 30 years old but I've been getting tore up inside watching all the old buildings and prairies I grew up with get leveled and turned into shopping centers and warehouses and housing developments. So much land and history destroyed for blind consumerism and profit chasing in mere decades. I hate how urbanization spreads like mold on the landscape
Yes it sucks. Glad you enjoyed the video though.
Come to Nova Scotia and do My Bloody Valentine!
I’ve been binging these location series, absolutely love them!
Glad you are enjoying them. I have a bunch of new episodes shot just have to edit them.
Tom Morga's a great guy, met him at a con a few years back. Being a HUGE Ghostbusters fan i was mainly talking to him about being Egon's stunt double. But i do remember one thing, his handler quite rudely demanded i pay for my autographs now, and i said, this guys played Jason, Michael Myers and Leatherface, you really think i;m gonna run off :)
18:09 - I believe that is the old train tunnel structure. I used to live in Killeen, TX, and loved horror movies. We moved to Germany in '85 where I finally saw TCM2. Had no idea some outside shots were filmed at the old "Prairie Dell Lake" park we went to in the early 80s. We moved back to Killeen in 1989 and spent an afternoon looking for it (no internet) before finding out it was demolished years later. Prairie Dell Lake also had an arcade (broken up into several areas), first time I played Venture. The rides weren't big (carnival style, tilt o whirl, type stuff). It's been almost 40 years, but I still remember the stale nachos and the commercial jingle. :D
great info, plus there was a side building that housed the charlie brown hangout/bakery/ice cream parlor sporting with a weird sign proclaiming:
freedom hill international bank- we have a good rate of interest in our bread
plans were also in the works to build on the site next to the matterhorn replica the world's largest rollercoaster, yet it never happened since the owner didn't have enough money
wasn't there also:
a roller skating rink?
indoor cliff divers next to the tourist restaurant where the waiters served roast beef on styrofoam plates
some guy dressed up in a jalapeno costume doled out hard candy to children?
wooden cabins overlooking the rear lake?
stuntman bob elmore mentions in an interview about undeground long tunnels where that scene was filmed of bubba chasing stretch before the wooden support beams/rocks caves in
director tobe hooper said it was a very strange place
additional info:
75 acre site, located off a service road parallel to interstate 30 (jarrell, bell county, texas)
opened in 1979 by frank weiss, damaged by tornado in 1980 and fell into bankruptcy foreclosure in 1983, purchased by ohio businessman phillip fry
70 feet tall fiberglass stucco mountain replica of switzerland's matterhorn (from a distance looked like paper mache)
the roller skating rink was 100 feet long inside the "mountain"
featured miniature golf plus gift shops
Fun to watch. I've lived in Austin all my life. Had no idea that bar i pass all the time was the chainsaw shop. Wild😳
Just watched your video with The Woo, glad I found your channel. Awesome content man.
Thank you!
I would kill to hear Sean's commentary over the Horror's Hallowed Ground episodes. I just saw it mentioned in the video description of an earlier episode as a possibility during the pandemic. I had no idea there was any kind of bad blood regarding the content of some of the episodes. These are by far the best features of any Scream Factory blu-ray and they are lucky to have the content. I've purchased their blu-rays specifically for HHG.
Your Chop Top is brilliant!!!
Ohhh, my achin' banana!!🍌
Just a great job keep up your hard work I have been a fan for years....
I saw this film when it first came out and still think it’s the best of the chainsaw movies (my favorite anyway) I liked the humor and characters plus it had some great horror and atmospheric vibe. I’m glad that it’s finally getting the recognition it deserves in the annals of horror movie history. 👍💯
Yess, i don't like when people say poltergiest feels nothing like a tobe hooper film and only a Spielberg film, yes it feels like Spielberg but Texas chainsaw 2 and poltergiest both have that awesome 80s giddy horror feel that only Tobe hooper could create.
Beginning Narration $PRICELESS$ 🙂💓
I remember my mom making me watch the OG Texas Chainsaw and part 2 as a kid! I couldn’t stand all gross gore, horror! My mom my family and kids love HORROR! Anything, but I CAN’T ~NO WAY watch the remake of the Texas Chainsaw massacre with Jessica Biel! That and any of the Hostel movies! Nope! I remember seeing part 2 and thinking good those yuppies got what they deserved! Dumbasses! Thanks again for another great video! ✌️
Cool video. Sad some of the buildings are gone.
My first Texas Chainsaw film as a kid in the mid 80s, scary and fun. I remember thinking what heck happened to everyone with a classic Chainsaw dubious ending👍 . I met Bill Moseley at Nuke the Fridge over at Frank and Sons . Ultimate cult classic, I can't even call this classic a cult film it's such an awesome sequel 👍🌴😎🎬
This was awesome! Huge TCM2 fan!
I have to visit these filming locations.
I have to admit your dedication and style of editing really adds a quality to you videos that's head and shoulders above the rest! Now that I said that back to the regular scheduled comments of being a d**k.
Im curious as to what happened to the Sawyers blue truck??? I would love to own it or make a similar build.
This was one of the best then & now locations. That I’ve ever seen great detailing, editing and story telling! Thanks for this one, one of my favorite movies. But I gotta question! Where’s the little fryhouse?! Lol 😆
Sadly the fry house was eaten soon after filming.
After talking with Caroline you can die 😍😍😍
Stretch is still super hot.
Very cool, been a fan of the movie since I first saw it in the late 80s on vhs when I was a kid
A fuckin truck stop .....ya like texas needs more of those lol
TCM 2 was definitely a cinematic piece of…… if there ever was one!
Sean for half a second when you were talking with Carolina Williams, I thought you were gonna flush. 😂
Now locate the burnt up sonny bono wig doo that got chainsawed. 10/10 came to see.
This was so much fun! Thank you for all the amazing videos you do!!!
Followed your series for years. Thank you for bringing it back, new name. Glad I got to meet you at Kansas City Crypticon. Hope to see you again
Always enjoyed part 2 over the first 🤘
Great stuff!! Very relevant to my interests. Also found you via Woo. Looking forward to your content!
1 of my fav movies.. Luv it
Very interesting and funny. Brilliantly presented!
"It's log, it's log, it's better than bad, it's good"
Ren and Stimpy
Awesome job. Thanks for taking us around.
Always been a big Dennis Hopper fan and I loved him in this. Love the video Sean great work!
Sean, thank you! I knew of you from your Halloween and The Fog episodes for the Blu-ray releases. Great job as always.
You should do an episode for ONE DARK NIGHT with Meg Tilly. The graveyard is in L.A. The address is clearly in a shot of the movie where the caretaker locks the gate in the evening. I believe the same cemetery was used in HORROR STAR (Frightmare) starring Ferdinand Mayne as the aging actor who dies and comes back to wreak havoc on a horror movie fan club who stole his body from the mausoleum. Great stuff. lol
Its amazing how time just simply erases history...good video man!
Stretch still looks hot asf!!!
This is awesome bro thanx!!!
Love tcm part 2 ...might be my favorite. Not sure tho
What a fun journey through one of my favorite horror movies, thank you Sean!
I just subscribed man good stuff . Saw you on Adam the woo channel 🍺
Came here from Adam's channel. Instant subscribe.
Love this film!! It's one of my favorites!!
I found you from Adam the woo!(:
Great job bro I always wonder if that battle land place was still around, Thanks buddy boy.
Amazing content the best
Woo
This is a great channel you should be much bigger!
Thank you. Help spread the word!
I love TCM 2. My uncle worked in a video store back in the 80s and gave me a TCM 2 soundtrack cassette tape, which I still have to this day. It was my introduction to the TCM movies. I didn't actually see TCM 2 until the early 90s when I was a little older, but it's a great movie and doesn't always get enough love. The first one and part 2 are my favorites of the franchise, by far. Hopefully, one day, we'll get to see a release of "All American Massacre." It's a shame that one was never finished and released.
I doubt they will ever be officially released.
TCM2 soundtrack is 5 stars!
She's still beautiful
I love part 2 !!
Epic video man 🤘
This was a brilliant video, can't wait to see more!!
Absolutely Beautiful. Thank you. So fucking kool. More more.
13:18 Oh my god! Sean slaughtered the cameraman! You bastard! XD XD XD XD LOL
Every guy acts like he hasn't made sweet love to a pig at least once or because of not having access to a pig farm hasn't thought about it more than twice! Hell I liked it so much I married a woman who shape shifted into a pig over time!
21:30 : How exactly does a full frame cut of the movie reveal more than the original widescreen presentation? *confused*
Thanks for uploading these HHG episodes!
All this building over something that in the future no one will ever know that their favorite horror film location was there just makes me want to remember what happened with Cabrini green.And another feeling that times are changing and that if you want to shoot in the place where that last horror film was shot you better get started.
Oh cool. At 15:05 I take that route to one of my jobs every other day. Austin is nice. The drivers suck though.
Great channel bud! Can u do friday the 13th part 3 in California. Or any friday the 13th? Thanks bud
I will be adding some Friday the 13th content. In the meantime you should check out my buddy Adam's page. He did a Part 3 one. th-cam.com/video/doQlHl6KmP4/w-d-xo.html

Sean, thank you so very much for this! you really put the work in!
@@branscombe_ You are very welcome. Glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks for uploading all of this man!
Has anyone ever did a film location tour of Motel Hell???
Tell us more about your friend who lost his eye.
We were just kids playing at the park just a few feet away from where we were eating. His name was James Athens and someone hit him right in the eye with an acorn. I don't know for sure who threw it I just know it wasn't me. He ended up losing the eye and getting a glass one. I never threw another acorn again. I lost touch with him after Junior High.
Hey Sean i hope run in to some day and get an photo from you take care
i'm here checking out the videos thanks to adam
Glad to have you!
