The first academic collection of essays devoted to Tobe Hooper's career - entitled American Twilight: The Cinema of Tobe Hooper - has finally been curated and assembled by editors Kristopher Woofter and Will Dodson (who contribute their own essays within the book) and released by the University of Texas Press publishing outfit.
Released in June 2021, it is still fresh in the minds of its readers and non-readers (I am lucky to have counted myself in the former group since May, after receiving an early copy in the mail, a real moment of hope and beauty in difficult times) and nonpareil in its in-depth analyses and contributions to a scholasticism of a marginal career and what Hooper means to the landscape of genre. Promotions are planned and it is an illustrious initiation to upcoming Hooper releases, such as I'm Dangerous Tonight coming to Blu-Ray from Kino Lorber, a possible Poltergeist 4K release for its 40th Anniversary, and a book on the making of Spontaneous Combustion by writer Stan Giesea.
