The sequel belongs to Hooper’s period working with Cannon and was written by L. M. Kit Carson. Its production brought together returning performer Jim Siedow and new faces including Caroline Williams, Bill Moseley, and Bill Johnson.
Leatherface’s screen presence should not be reduced to a single credit. Johnson’s acting and the physical work associated with Bob Elmore are both part of the performance history. Interviews with each participant offer a better understanding than treating the mask as the work of only one person.
Tom Savini’s effects and Cary White’s production design contribute to the film’s enlarged, carnival-like world. Modern editions preserve interviews with several effects artists and crew members, making this one of the franchise’s richer documented productions beyond its leading cast.
AFI’s catalog entry documents the sequel’s credits and release history. It is a reference source for the film rather than an interview with a participant.
