Vintage YouTube Video Of The Week : Savini On Letterman In 1986!

It's hard to believe that there was a time when horror got such mainstream attention that somebody like Tom Savini was asked to be on Letterman, isn't it? Well Savini actually appeared on Dave's show a few times in the 80's and in this appearance from 1986, he showed off some props from Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 & Tales From The Darkside and ended things by shooting Letterman a couple times and covering his set in fake blood. Enjoy this vintage video clip from the year of my birth!



Ah what the hell, here's a little bonus video; a hairier Savini blowing Letterman's brains out during an appearance on the show the following year!!

I remember seeing this when it first aired. I just got the two Savini books and look forward to going through them later on the iPad. Thanks for this one!

It's funny and a little sad to know those types of explosive squib hits can't be done today on "normal" extras due to insurance worries.
