Filmmaker Joe O’Connell Discusses His Documentary About Rondo Hatton & Bob Burns
Genre documentaries, we can’t get enough of them. I sat down with doc director Joe O’Connell to discuss his new film Rondo and Bob, which delves into two movie icons, Robert “Bob” Burns and Rodon Hatton, who have earned their spots in genre history. Robert “Bob” Burns, whose name you should be familiar with since he helped create the atmosphere of some of horror’s most iconic films, including the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Re-Animator, and The Hills Have Eyes, serving as art director.

The writer turned actor, who suffered from acromegaly, a form of gigantism, which made his face grow in strange ways, appeared in 28 films in the thirties and forties. The documentary explores the relationship between the two men and their individual histories. And it’s out now. Kelli: “So tell me about this documentary. Why
