Tobe Hooper does this thing that almost no one else can do where a scene is disturbing but also kind of campy and darkly fun, and then, in the same scene, draining all the fun and camp in less than one second by changing nothing but how it’s shot lol

Happy Birthday to Dan O’Bannon (1946 – 2009) He wrote Alien and wrote and directed the cult horror comedy The Return of the Living Dead. He is fondly remembered for writing Lifeforce (1985) and Invaders From Mars (1986) for Tobe Hooper during his Cannon Films years

Happy Birthday to the great Stephen King. In a “what could have been,” King was originally lined up to write the screenplay to ‘Poltergeist'. It unfortunately never happened and Michael Grais and Mark Victor stepped in

Remembering David Soul on his birthday. A versatile actor who brought deep compassion to his roles. Perfectly cast as Ben Mears in Tobe Hooper’s Salems Lot. A stand out scene has Ben fashioning a cross out of medical tape as Mrs Glick begins to awaken underneath the sheet

Remembering Tobe Hooper who passed away 7 years ago today. I had only just met him in person at what turned out to be his last public appearance - He was attending the LFCC in late July 2017. We spoke about Salems Lot and Tobe was warm and welcoming. Four weeks later he was gone

"LOOK AT ME TEACHER!" Remembering actor Geoffrey Lewis on his birthday. Born July 31, 1935. Lewis appeared in more than 200 films and TV shows. Often playing quirky characters. He memorably played Mike Ryerson in Tobe Hooper’s TV mini series Salems Lot. #TobeHooper #SalemsLot

Often overlooked was Tobe Hooper's ability to bring out striking performances from the young actors in his films, from Salems Lot (1979), The Funhouse (1981), Poltergeist (1982) and Invaders from Mars (1986) being the most notable #tobehooper #salemslot #poltergeist #TheFunHouse

@Poltrg_Thoughts Also worth noting is how well Hooper directs the children in the cast. Ron Scribner said this "Tobe Hooper guided me every single step of the way. He would look at it and give his approval or, let’s try it a different way. Go slower. He was the circus master, the maestro.”

It was on televisions FOUR MONTHS later. Keep that in mind when you talk about POLTERGEIST, “You know JURASSIC PARK and SCHINDLER’S LIST were filmed A YEAR apart! Only a year!” people.

Tobe Hooper began filming Salem's Lot on this day - July 10, 1979, in the Northern California town of Ferndale. #tobehooper #stephenking #salemslot #vampire #poltergeist #poltergeistbook #PoltergeistTimeline
