See & Do - Film: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre October 02 2009

Tues., Oct. 13

October is a unique time of year. What other month shows more love to costumed hooligans, haunted houses and the art of the cult horror flick? So there’s no better time for the creative powers behind the Silver Scream Spook Show and Atlanta Horrorfest to present THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE in original 35 mm for their monthly Splatter Cinema. Directed by Tobe Hooper and loosely based on the murders of a group of friends by a family of cannibals in rural Texas, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre started out as a small independent film and grew to be one of the greatest and most influential horror movies of all time. Now, after more than 30 years, the original slasher flick still spreads fear around the globe and continues to saw through newer masked maniacs along the way. $6.50-$8. 9:30 p.m. Plaza Theatre, 1049 Ponce de Leon Ave. 404-873-1939. www.plazaatlanta.com.
