Gunnar Hansen

Interview with Gunnar Hansen

Remember scary Leatherface from The Texas Chain Saw Massacre? Well actor Gunnar Hansen was in Swndon recently and chatted to BBC Wiltshire about the classic horror film from the 70s.


The 70s were a great decade for American horror movies and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre was one of the most influential. Few horror fans can forget the murderous redneck in a mask made of human skin, otherwise known as Leatherface.

Gunnar Hansen - the actor who portrayed one of the most famous horror movie monsters was in Swindon recently for an signing session at film prop and memorabilia store Infinitely Better.
