Horror's most iconic service station is taking reservations. And serving up killer BBQ.
Certain locales have immediate recognition for horror-movie fans—the Overlook Hotel, Camp Crystal Lake, Bates Motel. But a real-life service station on Texas State Highway 304, just south of Bastrop, should send serious chills down your spine: As"Last Chance Gas" it was one of the main locations in the 1974 gorefest The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, which introduced us to that cannibalistic maniac Leatherface.
Intrepid horror fans can book at night in a cabin at the original gas station from 1974's"Texas Chainsaw Massacre." The Gas Station "When it comes down to cult classics and iconic movies, Texas Chainsaw Massacre has always been one of them," Gas Station employee Ben Hughes told The Eagle."To be able to share that with people, have everybody see it and go, 'Wow, that movie scared me half to death.' You want to have that shock in life, you want to be able to say you did it. How often are you able to do that? It's kinda like meeting one of your favorite stars.
