Tremea and Goodall discuss the seminal origin of now-established themes and tropes that remain relevant to the horror and science fiction genres today, including the final girl and the cinematic slasher villain, which can be traced back to Hooper's works in the forms of characters such as Sally Hardesty and Leatherface. The authors posit that Hooper's career is inextricably linked with film history even beyond these lasting impacts, citing his history as a proponent of the hippie film scene in the 1960s, as a collaborator with the infamous Cannon Film production company, and as a master of both mainstream and independent success.\u003cbr\u003eUltimately, this book positions Tobe Hooper as a key figure in the history of filmmaking whose works are worthy of deeper scholarly inquiry, both individually and within the context of his entire oeuvre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlice Tremea\u003c\/b\u003e is and independent researcher based in Brazil.
