There are no current or future screenings planned for this film.

Join host Collins Swords and special guests Wayne Bell (Tobe Hooper’s collaborator on many films) and artist Guy Juke for this special tribute screening.

Before THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE there was EGGSHELLS, the late, great Tobe Hooper’s first feature. Part experimental documentary, part phantasmagorical musical, the film is a prescient mix of psychedelic, Brakhage-inspired avant-garde cinema, Hammer Horror, and French New Wave all blended together to create a counter-culture social fantasy of rebellion and freedom. We will present the film, along with special guests and a pair of early shorts.
