"The Blackening," "Scream," and More Meta Horror Movies

Tobe Hooper directed "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre," released in 1974 and a classic of the slasher genre. In 1986, he released "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2," which is more of a dark comedy than a straight horror film (and is a major departure from the first film). The movie makes fun of the whole premise, drawing out some of the comedy viewers ignored the first time around.
