Lion's Gate Buys Tobe Hooper's The Toolbox Murders

According to Fangoria Lions Gate Films has just bought rights to horror legend Tobe Hooper's The Toolbox Murders. Lions Gate is planning a fall 2005 DVD release and is mulling over the possibility of some sort of theatrical release. Don't know who Hooper is? Think Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Neat. I saw Toolbox Murders up at FantAsia and enjoyed it a whole bunch; it's a clever slasher flick that veers into location-based horror with elegance.

I can't understand why it has taken so long to get to DVD? It's been released in Australia since June 2004.

Dear Tobe,

I am a film student in high school and am writing a documentary on the use of sound in horror films. I was wondering if you can be kind enough to send me a letter on your techniques on using sound in your films (ie Poltergiest) as soon as possible.

-thanks
