The weather is "gore'geous" and the SO had other plans. What to do...where to go.
So I saddled up and took a ride into the horror classic Texas Chainsaw massacre.
Three stops in mind, Taylor, Granger and last stop was Cele Tx just on the outskirts of Manor.
Taylor meat "slaughterhouse" was used in the film and was the first stop. Big brick building still in operation today.
Onwards to Granger just outside off if CR336 lies the two story house of leatherface's family of cannibals.It's a private residence so no trespassing for a closer look at the house, but you can still see it from the road.
Speaking of cannibals I'm starting to get hungry so it's onto my next stop Cele Tx. Here located just outside of Manor is the famous gas station from the film. It's a local watering hole and BBQ joint on the weekends.
Here I met Don and his buddies serving up conversation and great food. I had their combination meat platter fit for the hungy cannibal...err carnivore in me
After eating he welcomed me to tour the building and told me of the many celebrity visitors and movies filmed here over the years.
Second Hand Lions, Perfect World and the remakes of the Chainsaw movies just to name a few.
It was a nice ride and wanted to share it with all of y'all...
