The house where some of the most gruesome scenes in "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre" were filmed is now being transformed into a family restaurant.

The Victorian home seen in the 1974 movie was where Leatherface and his cannibalistic family lived. In 1998, the house was taken down from its original location in Round Rock and reassembled in Kingsland. In 2012, it was turned into the Grand Central Café. Now it's being transformed into a full-service restaurant called Hooper’s in honor of Tobe Hooper who directed the horror classic.

“It rings like a really Southern-type approach," new owner Simon Madera said, adding that the restaurant will serve breakfast, lunch, dinner and cocktails. "Guys dressed as Leatherface cutting your chicken fried steak with a chainsaw" will not be included.

To pay homage to the film, Madera and his fellow investors will create a shrine upstairs with movie shots from the original. The current café features posters around the bar and offers movie-inspired drinks, like the Bloody Mary-inspired Bloody Massacre and Leatherface Lemonade.

The new owners will also ask locals to donate old chainsaws to turn into art installations which will be displayed in the restaurant.
