Don't worry, you gotta think of the film without all the hype about it, you gotta see it open minded.

I'm glad you changed your mind.

Nemesis412 01-23-2005 03:58 PM

I'm glad i changed my mind too :)

I dont know I guess when I was 13 years old and I saw TCM at the Drive in I expected something more. I felt jipped bigtime ans scenes at the dinner table with Sally big deal I understand what the director was aiming for but at the time back in 1974 TCM did not rake in the money and most who saw it thought it sucked and thought the title was misleading and it was. Dr.Phibes in 1971 had more gore and better death scenes than TCM. Btw any of you ever see the Grusome Twosome it was made before TCM.

Well Gojira, The director Tobe Hooper is known for realistic horror, Eaten Alive who is based on the true story of Jim Ball who fed his girlfriends to alligators he had in his basement. And TCM which is based on Ed Gein. Psycho, and Silence of The Lambs is also based on Ed Gein. He also directed Poltergeist, Saloms Lot, and The Funhouse. He is known as one of the greatest horror directors. Unfortunately Gojira I did not see that movie.

Hi Classic you forgot to mention that Michael Myers character is also based on Ed guin. I will tell you what cracks me up is when people say that TCM really happened LOL LOL hell I have lived in Texas for 43 almost 44 years and believe me TCM never happened. Ed guin was just a sicko from another state Ed only killed 2 people and any serial killer is alot worse then Ed was. But the TCM makes for a good movie story. Some people will belive anything lol poor saps. Most of the good horror movies are based on real events or inspired by people who lived. Vlad the Impailer of course was Bram Stokers inspiration for his novel Dracula and Robert Lewis Stevenson based his Character Dr.Jekyll on a carpenter who was leading a double life. Ed Guin of course served as inspiration for a few characters.

Sorry Gojira but Myers wasn't based on "Gein" I am pretty sure he was based on someone else. He had necrophilia with dead bodies (sex), killed 3 people, he was a cannibal, and exhumed peoples graves. Jeffrey Dahmer on the other hand did that, and alot worse.

I also hate it when people say that TCM was real. Grrrrr.

Nemesis412 01-23-2005 04:52 PM

Yeah Myers wasn't based off of anybody besides prolly psycho which Carpernter loved.

YEAH Gein killed women in WISCONSIN plainfield wisconsin.

It shouldn't say "Based On A True Story" on the remake cover, it should say "Inspired By A True Story". Michael Bay can suck my balls.

Gojira 01-23-2005 05:03 PM

You know here in Texas TCM is a joke because it never happened and for some odd reason there are people who will say stuf like My father was around when TCM happened or My brother new Sally LOL we just crack up when we hear stuff like that. Thats not to say bad things dont happen in texas a few years ago there was a guy who was babysitting 2 kids and a baby. The guy killed the mother when she came home and he burnt the kids and killed thei dog then he killed himself. He hacked the bodys up.
