A New Chain Saw Massacre Book!

I am now writing Chain Saw Confidential: How We Made America’s Most Notorious Horror Movie.

Chain Saw Confidential will tell the story of how we made the original Chain Saw and look at its place in horror. It will be an insider’s view like no other.

I’ll be collecting names and contact info at upcoming shows from those of you who want to know more. You can also send a note with that info to me at P.O. Box 211, Northeast Harbor ME 04662. Please include an e-mail address to receive updates.

For now, I’m pounding those keys.
