Thinking about your next vacation? Consider driving out to the gas station where ‘The Texas Chainsaw Massacre’ was filmed!
The Gas Station from the original 1974 film, is now a restaurant that serves up barbecue and sells all sorts of merchandise for horror movie buffs.
“We actually have a gas pump that every once in a while we take out…the Coca-Cola machine that’s exactly the one from the movie, we take out,” Manager Ben Hughes told KVUE.
The building has been refurbished and had opened to the public in 2016.
“If you’re a fan of the movie to begin with, then coming out and actually getting to be in a place where it was, it really heightens it for you,” Hughes said.
They even have a replica of the van from the movie parked outside, same make, model, year, and color!
Plus you can also have the chance to stay the night there! Behind the building, they built 4 mini-cabins so visitors can get the full effect. Along with campsites that you can reserve on their site as well.
And no, they won’t come out to scare you.
“We want to make sure that everybody that comes out has a good time and not just freakin’ out or anything like that,” Hughes said.
So far this has become a big hit! It may be spooking but they’re very welcoming to all visitors.
