Is it me or has the second season of HBO's Carniv�le skittered smack into Texas Chainsaw Massacre territory? Take Episode 3, for starters, where Nick Stahl skulks the backest roads of Ingram, Texas and stumbles upon a band of rowdy rednecks who express themselves artistically by driving nails into baby doll brainpans and such. They don't cotton to strangers neither -- trussing Mr. Stahl feet first into the nearest tree before burying him alive. While, in last night's episode, we got an eyeful of a peeperless ol "crone" who actually cross stitches one of the offending hayseeds' mouth shut! I think we've found the Sawyer fam's new favorite show.

About Me
- Name:G. Noel Gross
- Location:Dallas, Texas
DVD Talk columnist G. Noel Gross discovered B-movies as a youngster in the piney woods of East Texas where he spent many a Saturday afternoon glued to the TV watching flicks such as Food of the Gods, Squirm and Mako: The Jaws of Death when he should have been out doing something useful. At 33, nothing has really changed.
