Burr also helmed sequels to Stepfather, Pumpkinhead, and more.
Jeff Burr, a director known for his work on fan-favorite franchises like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Puppet Master, and Pumpkinhead, has passed away at the age of 60. The news of Burr's passing was confirmed in a statement from his longtime friend, actor Eric Spudic . According to Spudic, Burr passed away in his sleep due to apparent complications from a stroke on Tuesday, October 10th in Dalton, Georgia.
A few years later, he signed on to helm 1990's Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III — taking the job just weeks before production was set to begin, after New Line Cinema's first choices for the job had dropped out. The film would become one of the most infamous parts of Burr's filmography, as the movie's content led to a lengthy back and forth with the MPAA, eventually earning an R rating after eleven submissions.
