I would become a teacher. 159 00:13:02,560 --> 00:13:04,900 It was a good feeling having made both films. 160 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,620 For me they actually were not very different. 161 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,780 I was back in Texas, there were the same damn months, 162 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:16,635 it was hotter again than in the Hell, July and August again. 163 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:23,795 Although one film only made $80,000 cost and the other $5 million, 164 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:26,871 I didn't feel it really makes a difference. 165 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,500 They were both hard, difficult, all films are like that 166 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:36,740 because in the end no one wants you anymore give money when absolutely necessary, 167 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,354 no one wants you more time give more than you absolutely need. 168 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,317 As the cameraman, you're the guy 169 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:49,349 who ensures that the things in the allotted time 170 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,940 and with those available to you standing materials. 171 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:56,158 Of course you want to deliver quality, you always want to make the best film possible. 172 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,380 I really wouldn't be that one person I am today 173 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:05,140 if I don't have the original "Texas "chainsaw massacre". 174 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:12,060 On the one hand, it enabled me this great career, 175 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:17,020 on the other hand, a fantastic life. 176 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:23,060 As a filmmaker I am very proud to have made him 177 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:27,620 although actually myself I'm not one of the "bad guys"... 178 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:29,740 I shave my head because my hair fell out, 179 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,274 I don't have any tattoos, Earrings or piercings. 180 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:39,180 I'm not a bizarre character and look Movies like that don't really happen that often either. 181 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:45,150 But apparently I'm good in making these kinds of films. 182 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,580 PART TWO 183 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:59,151 PART TWO This old

the whole thing house had been removed. 196 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,994 The earth was still fresh stirred up where the foundation was. 197 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,675 But at least I have a few pictures made and put them on the website. 198 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:18,989 I have from all over the world then received emails. 199 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,915 They wanted to know where the house

00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:36,540 Here we are now in a house from the late 19th century. 203 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:40,380 It's a prefabricated house in Round Rock, Texas. 204 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:44,380 This is the important one entrance area of the house, 205 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:48,140 where the victims came in, Kirk was killed here 206 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,435 Pam was dragged

The house was out Prefabricated house parts built, 210 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,552 from a series of prefabricated houses of the late 19th century. 211 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,660 The parts were pre-cut 212 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,620 and with horse-drawn carts downtown Austin 213 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:16,020 drove to Round Rock, where it stood for a good 100 years. 214 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,998 There actually still was similar houses nearby, 215 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,300 but they no longer exist. 216 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:25,029 It has over time changed owners several times. 217 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,558 It's on Quick Hill, that's in Round Rock. 218 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,580 It was rented out again and again 219 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,740 and in the 1970s 220 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:40,900 allowed the tenants at the time Tobe Hooper to direct the film, 221 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,140 while she herself is in the right part of the building. 222 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,620 Here we are on the upper floor now, 223 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:50,428 where Sally tries for the first time has to escape Leatherface. 224 00:18:01,360 --> 00:18:04,909 Sally tries to find help someone to help her here 225 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,820 and the first thing she found as she ran upstairs, 226 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,638 was the grandfather in his bedroom. 227 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,314 There were visible ones Changes made. 228 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,820 This room is today smaller than he was back then. 229 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:30,780 One of the owners converted it so that you got a dining room. 230 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,660 That was the grandparents' room, 231 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,513 in which Sally the two found bodies.

00:42:10,740 I say the best thing is when you meet people 533 00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:13,593 and with them also 30 years you'll still be friends afterwards. 534 00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:30,580 PART FIVE 535 00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:34,673 PART FIVE The good doctor 536 00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:11,460 My father was a Baptist minister, I have developed in a different direction. 537 00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:13,471 I grew up in small towns, 538 00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:20,100 first in Hereford, Texas, in Panhandle and then into New Mexico. 539 00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:25,433 My mother asked me one thing Day what I wanted to be 540 00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:29,100 and I answered "Doctor" and I never wanted to be anything else. 541 00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:36,780 All my school and university years was aimed at this goal. 542 00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:39,740 But I always have too had an artistic streak 543 00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:43,620 and drawings all my life, Sculptures and wood carvings made. 544 00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:48,580 When the film came up, told me Marilyn, who I was friends with, 545 00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:50,875 that they are making this film 546 00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:54,060 and would look for someone who would could do special effects make-up. 547 00:43:54,080 --> 00:44:00,519 I said I could do it because I was very interested in it. 548 00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:06,756 So I bought a few books and started playing around with it. 549 00:44:12,720 --> 00:44:14,740 I've made a lot of masks. 550 00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:19,740 The material had to be processed very quickly because it hardened so quickly, 551 00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:23,620 so I had several people, who constantly mixed it fresh. 552 00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:28,509 I also used plaster, for example for the molds. 553 00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:34,580 That stuff fell apart pretty quickly, so you had to do something with it quickly. 554 00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:39,140 I gave my masks to Bob Burns, the art director 555 00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:41,660 and he set them up, wherever he needed her. 556 00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:45,020 I also left her a print of my face, 557 00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:47,700 so I could see how that felt. 558 00:44:47,720 --> 00:44:51,660 You had to use straws stick in the nose 559 00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:53,580 and pad with large pieces of cotton wool. 560 00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:56,592 So one of the masks became made with my face. 561 00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:04,079 If I then John in the Grandfather transformed, it took time. 562 00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:06,913 I have it, I think I, done three times, 563 00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:10,789 and it always took about seven and a half Hours to apply make-up. 564 00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:16,700 John was very nice, he didn't say much, 565 00:45:16,720 --> 00:45:20,860 and I think he knew himself not exactly what happened to him. 566 00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:25,620 He was 18 or 19 567 00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:29,260 and they told me he should look, as if he were over a hundred years old. 568 00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:33,380 So we made one mask of his face, 569 00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:35,660 so that we had something with which we could work. 570 00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:39,260 Then I poured the mold with acrylic, 571 00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:42,700 the same material, with to which dentures are made. 572 00:45:42,720 --> 00:45:47,780 With the help of this mask I then made another one, 573 00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:52,220 in which I have all the wrinkles and incorporated wrinkles. 574 00:45:52,240 --> 00:45:56,420 Since I am a plastic surgeon and actually do the opposite of that, 575 00:45:56,440 --> 00:46:00,274 At least I know where they belong. 576 00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:05,629 First I got his head wrapped to cover his hair 577 00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:07,940 and put a bald cap on his head. 578 00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:14,740 Then I have the liquid latex applied to create a base. 579 00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:17,069 I made casts of his hands, 580 00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:22,675 because of course they had to Have wrinkles and prominent veins. 581 00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:38,620 I was on set so many times and for as long as I could. 582 00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:41,996 Sometimes I stayed 18 to 20 hours. 583 00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:47,460 I was there most of the time, when he was filmed, 584 00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:51,439 because if something needs to be mended I had to, I had to be there. 585 00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:10,340 After the film I had offers, I could have had even more effects 586 00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:12,340 and I really enjoyed it too, 587 00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:15,820 but making films and a practice for plastic surgery, 588 00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:17,956 cannot be reconciled. 589 00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:21,194 I had an exhibition in Miami 590 00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:26,180 at a national congress for plastic surgery, 591 00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:29,980 That's why these pictures here were made, made from the masks from the film. 592 00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:33,940 The Wall Street Journal then wrote an article about it under the motto: 593 00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:38,670 "The plastic surgeon, the opposite from what he normally does". 594 00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:41,660 And it was well received by my colleagues. 595 00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:45,070 Yes, I have fond memories of it. 596 00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:55,700 PART SIX 597 00:47:55,720 --> 00:48:01,477 PART SIX Frightmares and Wasteland 598 00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:33,820 Our visitors are essentially a group of fans over thirty. 599 00:48:33,840
