Horror legend Allen Danziger joins Timecode: DEAD AIR to look back on his role as Jerry in Tobe Hooper’s landmark 1974 film The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and the unexpected legacy the film created. Danziger shares stories from the notoriously difficult production, including the Texas heat, the unforgettable conditions inside the farmhouse, and working with Hooper and the cast on a low-budget film no one imagined would become a cornerstone of horror cinema. We also talk about his earlier appearance in Hooper’s Eggshells, his life and career away from acting, connecting with generations of horror fans, and his return to independent film with projects including Cannibal Comedian, Storage Locker, and The WeedHacker Massacre.
