For over two decades, All American Massacre has been one of horror’s most infamous “lost films.” Shot in 1998 by William Hooper, son of legendary director Tobe Hooper (The Texas Chain Saw Massacre), the project set out to expand the terrifying legacy of the Sawyer family.
The film centers on Chop Top Sawyer (played once again by cult icon Bill Moseley), who survived the bloody events of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. Locked away in prison for 25 years, Chop Top recounts the twisted history of his family tales of cannibalism, murder, and madness in a series of disturbing flashbacks that blur the line between memory and nightmare.
Despite generating buzz in horror magazines and online forums, All American Massacre was never officially released. Legal complications, budget struggles, and rights disputes buried the film, turning it into a legend whispered about among die-hard horror fans. Bootleg trailers and rumors only fueled its myth, cementing its status as the “Holy Grail” of unreleased horror cinema.
Now, after years of uncertainty, All American Massacre is finally set to be unleashed. Fans will get the chance to see the long-awaited continuation of the Sawyer saga in a bizarre, nightmarish, and uniquely 90s descent into the twisted psyche of Chop Top.
What was once thought lost forever is about to take its place in horror history.
