So I’m sure by now most of you know that Lou Perryman of Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2 was murdered last week in South Austin. What you may not know was that I had been talking to Lou via Facebook about possibly doing an episode of ABK at this past weekend’s Cinemawasteland convention in Cleveland. We had been put in touch by a mutal friend, Heather from Dread Central. Lou had seen my Exploitation Breakfast and wanted to do a similar thing with Texas Chainsaw people. Being that TCM is my favorite horror movie I was totally excited to do it. Alas, the great magnet had other plans.
Last night I was going through all my monster mags looking for a particular centerfold. When I opened up my copy of Gorezone #1 which has Leatherface from TCM2 on the cover. I remembered my center posters had been carefully removed by the previous owner. One of them was Bill Paxton from Near Dark. I flipped Paxton over and there was Lou as LG missing his skin from TCM2. Well, that very was sad. Anyway here is that poster. Lou, it was nice talking to you on Facebook I wish we could have met in person.

So touching. I did get to meet him at Chiller. I had him sign a lil’ fry house magnet and bought a pin from him (which I have on my coat right now). My sister and I were obsessed with TCM2 growing up and I used to make lil’ fry houses at diners; he was touched to hear it. He was so nice and it is so upsetting how he died. If anything I would say if you adore these horror actors/directors/efx folks, go to the conventions and tell them how much you love them because you never know when it will be too late.
