Tobe Hooper-How the mighty have fallen.

He was at his best early on. Chainsaw was great, i loved Death Trap but others do not, Salems Lot was very good and Poltergiest was great but i'm not sure how much of that was Tobe.
After that which was early 80's.............................................. ........

never seen Deathtrap is that with Michael Caine and Christopher Reeve?

Well, there was Chainsaw and Poltergeist.
The rest, I must admit, was downhill all the way...

he was a good director for Poltergeist 1982 thats only because Spielberg was all over him on that one on the set it was almost that he directed not Tobe.Texas Chain Saw Massacre 1974 was just okay Lifeforce 1985 was okay and the 1986 remake of Invaders from Mars was decent .but Tobe was never Mighty Bro?

Watched Mortuary the other day.
It was boring and predictable, with all the "classic" routine characters and events.
It's a about a woman who decides to become a mortician (all she needs is the book "Morticians for Dummies") and buys a run-down morgue/graveyard.
The place looks like a nightmare, ideal for raising young children, of course.

Her son gets the room with bars over the window, where a deformed and insane family member once was held prisoner.
Nice going, Mom!
She finds doors that say "never open this!!!!", which she opens, of course.

In the end, just about everyone dies.
The only funny moment was when a girl zombie turns to dust and her silicone boobs fall out of her chest.

And then it said "Directed by Tobe Hooper".
How the mighty have fallen, indeed...
