When Tobe Hooper revisited the Texas Chainsaw Massacre with the 1986 sequel, he said the movie was the anti-John Hughes movie. I don't know what the hell that means, but he proved the point with this poster, huh?

Deleted Sequence from "KEVIN & MATT GEEK OUT ABOUT SHARKS"
Thanks everyone who attended Friday's Kevin & Matt Geek Out About Sharks. It's amazing that a 2-hour video variety show doesn't have enough time for all the footage we wanted to show. In talking about JAWS as a pop culture force, we looked at some parodies and rip-offs. But there was also a series of visual references that came out of the film's success, seen in this dialogue of sorts between two horror film-makers.
We'll start with Wes Craven: In his 1977 version of The Hills Have Eyes, audiences witnesses brutal violence and carnage on screen. After a particularly gruesome attack, we see the remains of a trailer, in the background there's a ripped poster of a shark (reportedly a poster of JAWS, but I'm not sure.)
Craven seemed to be saying "That's just a movie. THIS is real horror." (View this clip and more after the jump...)
