In our second installment of our ongoing "Blood, Babes & Boogeymen" series we head down to Texas for our inspiration. Tobe Hooper's 1974 classic film "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" introduced us to one of the most iconic boogeymen ever committed to film, the mentally disturbed Bubba Sawyer better known as Leatherface. His propensity for wearing masks made of skinned human faces make him possibly the most macabre of the horror icons.
Early on when I presented Deb with the option of selecting whom she would like to represent in this project, she quickly selected Leatherface. So after some discussion on which of his particular looks to go with, we got to down to shooting. Deb who is a huge horror fan herself, was a blast to shoot with and really wanted to do whatever necessary to get the perfect shots and do Leatherface justice. I'd like to also give thanks to her friend Jocelyn who was a big help during this shoot. As you can see we opted to go with a sexier take on Leatherface's suit and tie look which I feel Deb pulled off perfectly. I also really dug that her colorful hair really added some extra pop to these that really tied everything all together. We believe this photo set is a worthy homage to the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Leatherface and represents what we are trying to do with this Blood, Babes, & Boogeymen photo series to a T.
