In addition to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Poltergeist, Hooper directed such notable horror films as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, Life Force, Night Terrors and Mortuary.
Horror film icon Bill Mosely also honored Hooper, noting how the director gave him his first big break by casting him as “Chop Top” Sawyer in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2.
