... Secret Hooper Scorecard ...

Hooperama!

1/19/12 - A leaked official sales trailer for Hooper's upcoming film DJINN, set to be released sometime this year, pops up online.

7/2/10 - Hooper to receive the Total Icon honor at London's FILM4 FrightFest. A screening of EGGSHELLS and THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE will be held on August 28, 2010, with Hooper in attendance - his "first appearance in the UK for 18 years."

6/22/10 - Shock Till You Drop conducts a casual, occasion-less, but all-new interview with Hooper regarding The Funhouse.

11/14/09 - MovieWeb gets my hopes up and reports Guy Pearce and Helena Bonham Carter are joining "Tobe" Hooper's NEW PERIOD DRAMA King's Speech. Not true, of course, they really meant British director and HBO Miniseries John Adams-helmer Tom Hooper. MovieWeb has since fixed their booboo in the link above, but evidence still exists in the one user comment stating, "Tobe Hooper directing? Interesting..."

10/20/09 - FearNet publishes on their website Tobe Hooper's introduction to the recently released Robert Englund book Hollywood Monster.

6/17/09 - Tobe Hooper, not writing, but developing a horror novel with writer Alan Goldsher? Goldsher is a seeming writer worker-bee, working on everything from ghosted memoirs for NBA players and, surprise surprise, another horror collab book with Robert Englund, due this fall. According to Goldsher's Twitter, his Tobe Hooper project is called "Midnight Madness."
