Within the late Nineties, phrase got here out that Tobe Hooper‘s son William Tony Hooper was going to be directing a short film called All American Massacre, which would see Bill Moseley reprising the role of Chop Top from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (get it HERE). What was originally expected to be a 10 to 15 minute short reportedly ended up with a running time of 60 minutes… but fans never got to see this Chop Top movie. More than twenty years after All American Massacre was filmed, it still hasn’t been launched. So the truth that a workprint VHS tape that includes scenes from the film has simply emerged on eBay is catching a number of consideration.
All American Bloodbath is ready years after The Texas Chainsaw Bloodbath 2, and would function flashbacks to Chop High’s time together with his household earlier than the occasions of the primary film. Incarcerated for years in solitary confinement at a Texas psychiatric hospital, one of the crucial infamous killers of the previous century is interviewed by a tabloid information crew, recalling fond recollections of happier occasions in his youthful years. Moseley was joined within the forged by Greg Herger as Grandpa, Todd Bates as a youthful Chop High and his twin brother the Hitch-Hiker, Stephan Lokotsch as Steven, Danielle Burgio as Nikki, and Buckethead as Leatherface.
The eBay itemizing for the workprint VHS tape explains, “A couple years back I bought a storage locker at auction of a man named Stephan Lokotsch. He was an executive producer and one of the actors for this project. In the unit was this VHS tape & 40 promo film slides of the movie. The VHS tape is not the complete movie unfortunately, and it is made up of entirely unedited footage. For most of the tape, you can hear the director and crew talking. There are plenty of behind-the-scenes shots of the characters as well being goofy. The tape shows 3-4 scenes from the movie, the first two involves Bill Moseley attacking & killing 3 people, and the final scene showed Leatherface outside. Although not complete, this is by far the most footage of the film ever available. I’d speculate it is around an hour or more of footage, but my VHS doesn’t say play time unfortunately. A few notes about the tape. At one point it randomly cut to a clip of The X-Files. After about 5 minutes, it cut right back to footage. Then at the very end, there is about 15 minutes of The Drew Carey Roast. I have no idea why these are on the tape, but I wanted to make this clear. This is also NOT the full movie and is ENTIRELY unedited. Do not expect to receive the finished project. In my opinion, there is not any edited version of the film made.” Though that is only a behind-the-scenes have a look at the filming of some scenes, 4 folks have already got the tape sitting of their eBay procuring carts as of this writing. The vendor has set a Purchase It Now worth of $8,500.00, however they’re additionally taking affords.
There’s a 22 second clip from the video on the eBay itemizing, together with a number of photos.
The making and scrapping of All American Bloodbath is so intriguing, there was even a documentary made about it, referred to as In Search of All American Bloodbath: The Misplaced Texas Chainsaw Movie. I might like to see as a lot footage from the film as attainable – however my finest supply could be distant from that $8,500.00 Purchase It Now worth.
