Grandpa's Tales: An Interview with John Dugan (2014)

*** (out of 4)

One of several new extras that were included on the 40th Anniversary Blu-ray/DVD release of THE Texas CHAIN SAW MASSACRE. This featurette clocks in at 15-minutes and features an interview with John Dugan who of course played Grandpa in the original film. Throughout the interview we're told some great stories that probably won't be "new" to any fan of the film but it's still nice to have the footage. Dugan talks about how he got the job, what it was like working with certain cast members and of course there's talk of how hard the shoot was during the final days during the dinner sequence. There's some fun stories told about the various damage that was done shooting in the high temperatures but also some fun stuff about what it took to get into the make-up each day. Fans of the series will certainly want to check this out.
