Our good friends Matt (Dinosaur Dracula) and Jay (Sludge Central) host a monthly podcast called The Purple Stuff Podcast and their episodes are always super funny and super nostalgic. A fantastic pod that's highly recommended. This month's episode is about an original 1992 TV broadcast of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2!
The show is also available on Apple and Spotify.
Matt has also generously provided the original 1992 commercials as well!
In October of 1992, a FOX affiliate out of Boston implausibly decided to run The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2 – a grisly, unrated movie loaded with blood and mayhem – right there on broadcast television, in prime time. What chutzpah!!
Join me and Jay from Sludge Central for an hourlong examination of this ancient television event. We’ll tell you about the film (which we love), how this FOX affiliate handled airing such a gnarly movie, and we’ll even get into some of the commercials that played during the broadcast. (Including some that were Halloween-themed!)
