On August 18, 1973, four youths in a Volkswagen van ran out of gas along a deserted Texas road. From there, they were plunged into the worst nightmare imaginable. And today is August 18, the perfect day to re-edit, repackage, and rerelease a 2024 episode on the Tobe Hooper-directed classic from my previous podcast (Silver Screeners), especially when the guest was Chris, the co-host of The Cinematic Travelers Podcast. Enjoy this rerun from 2024, the 50th anniversary of the grim but trailblazing horror flick!
