The Los Angeles County coroner’s office said that Tobe Hooper, Director of ‘The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, died of natural causes on August 26, 2017.
Tobe Hooper was born on Jan. 25, 1943, in Austin, Texas. His parents were in the hotel business, which left him often babysitting himself by going to the movies as they checked up on their properties in various cities.
He began by shooting documentaries, then in 1969 made his first feature, “Eggshells,” which drew little attention. Among his best TV work was a two-part adaptation of “Salem’s Lot,” Stephen King’s novel, for CBS in 1979.
