Kingsland, is a small community in Texas - with many notable places, like the 1901 Victorian-style Antlers Hotel, which was a railroad resort that fell into disrepair in the early 1900s, but was purchased and restored in the 1990s and reopened as the Antlers Hotel. This hotel houses the Grand Central Cafe, that just happens to be located in one of the most iconic homes in all of horror cinema, the home from the 1974 film The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Plus, not far from the home is the Gas Station that was used in the movie, that is serving up Slaughter House BBQ.
