If you ever wanted to eat like Leatherface, your nightmares are coming true. Of course, part of the fun will be wondering exactly what you’re eating. …
The landmark previously known as the Last Chance gas station and Bilbo’s Texas Landmark has lain in disrepair for years, but The Guardian reports that Ohio businessman Roy Rose last year bought the filling station featured prominently in the original Texas Chain Saw Massacre and plans to turn it into a barbecue joint and a theme park of sorts, celebrating the film and its cannibal clan.
Naming his joint We Slaughter Barbecue, Rose last year told Kxan, a local Texas NBC affiliate, “We’re going to build a horror barbecue resort. We’re going to put cabins in the back for all the fans who want to come and stay the night.”
And that’s not all. There’s going to be...

There’s still life in the ol’ chainsaw after all. The latest Leatherface reboot/sequel, Texas Chainsaw 3D, revved up the new year, taking the top spot and all but assuring many more sequels/reboots/prequels/reimaginings to come. I guess 20 really is the new 40.
Attribute it to the lack of horror movies the past few months or proof that the Texas Chainsaw Massacre name brand still has considerable value, whatever the reason, Lionsgate’s first stab at bringing the Sawyer family to the big screen overperformed with $23.3 million at the box office this weekend (including $1.2 million from Thursday night sneak previews), edging out heavy-hitting holiday holdovers Django Unchained ($20 million) and The Hobbit ($17 million). That $23.3 million puts TC3D well below the $28+ million the Platinum Dunes remake opened to but well above the Platinum Dunes prequel’s $18 million opening.
