After twenty-five years, the wait is almost over. You can finally be part of one of the most sought-after lost films in horror history All American Massacre, starring Miquel Nunez (Return of the Living Dead) & Bill Moseley (Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2) NOW crowdfunding on Cinebacker.com
In the wake of the groundbreaking success of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and its cult-classic sequel, director Tobe Hooper, his son William Tony Hooper, and horror icon Bill Moseley came together to explore a new nightmare rooted in the Texas mythos. The result was All American Massacre, a micro-budget fan-driven project conceived as an experimental extension of the world established by the original films.
All American Massacre was never intended for commercial release. It was created as an early fan film one of the first of its kind developed outside the traditional studio system and made primarily as a creative exercise rather than a market-driven production.
That was twenty-five years ago.
The resulting footage was believed lost, spoken of only in whispers among horror fans and collectors, with repeated promises of release that never materialized.
Until now.
When DRagon Studios lawfully acquired the raw All American Massacre footage from a private seller, our first priority was the professional restoration of the material and a full assessment of how it could be completed and presented to modern audiences within a documentary.
During this process, the project evolved beyond a standalone film. All American Massacre is now being developed as a central component of a feature-length documentary that explores its troubled production history, cultural significance, and long-standing place within The Texas Chainsaw Massacre mythology.
The documentary will also incorporate carefully staged reconstruction scenes inspired by key moments from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986). These reconstructions are designed to visually connect the original films with All American Massacre widely regarded by fans as the unofficial third chapter framing the project as a “trilogy of nightmares” that begins with the first two films and is followed by the long-lost spin-off.
Our objective is to assemble All American Massacre in the most complete and respectful form possible, finally allowing audiences to see this footage for the first time, presented alongside a documentary that fully contextualises its creation, legacy, and relationship to the wider franchise.
The result will be:
A feature-length documentary examining the film’s history, legacy, and cultural impact
Reconstruction sequences linking The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1 & 2) with a recreated version of All American Massacre, designed specifically as a companion experience for fans.
All American Massacre presented as a companion film, forming part of an expanded Texas Chainsaw Massacre mythology.
