“The original script called for all the characters to be smoking marijuana when they are first listening to the tape. The actors decided to try this for real, and the entire scene had to be later re-shot due to their uncontrollable behavior.”

“At the end of principal shooting in Tennessee, the crew put together a little time capsule package and buried it inside the fire place of the cabin as a memento of the production to whomever found it.”
The cabin was accidentally burned down a year later by trespassing youths, but the fireplace remains intact.

To add to the above:
“Living conditions were terrible, and the crew frequently argued. The cabin didn't have plumbing, so the actors went days without showering, and fell ill frequently in the freezing weather. By the end of production, they were burning furniture to stay warm.”

The first Evil Dead film, inspired by H.P. Lovecraft, about a world of demons accidentally being opened, was filmed in true renegade-style, with a crew of 13 people in the remote thicket of Tennessee.
Though the sequel would have the budget to build a cabin exterior and a set for the interior, the first film had to use the real deal, with the entire crew also using the cabin to sleep, only adding to the hardship of the very rough shoot.

Piggy-backing off of X, going to now watch/stream (in ~10 minutes) the absolutely brilliant(!) queer neo-giallo KNIFE + HEART (2018) dir. Yann Gonzalez.
This film is a feast for the eyes and one of my very favorite of the past decade.
THAT was GREAT.
Fans of Tobe Hooper, this is a love letter to the original Texas Chainsaw.
See it. NAOOO
“We’re like a foxy car wreck.”
I’ll post some screenies later. This is some good stuff.
Mia Goth is extensively photogenic.
So much TCM Tobe Hooper cinematography going on here.
