Far less gory than its reputation, but just as likely to shred your nerves, Tobe Hooper's 1974 sicko masterpiece is the abandon-all-hope-ye-who-enter yardstick against which horror movies are measured—a movie in which the utter torment of its making is visited upon audiences tenfold. Here in town for the Full Moon Tattoo & Horror Festival, stars Gunnar Hansen (Leatherface), Edwin Neal (the Hitch-hiker) and John Dugan (Grandpa) will appear at The Belcourt's midnight screening Friday only. Approach them carefully.
