Psycho from Texas is a 1975 American low-budget horror film directed by Jack Collins and Jim Feazell. The plot concerns a hitman being hired to kill an oil baron, who escapes and runs for his life. The movie was filmed in El Dorado, Arkansas.The original title was Wheeler when it first came out in 1975. It was then refilmed in 1978 featuring the Linnea Quigley sequence. This was one of Quigley's first film appearances. Later, Quigley related unhappy memories of the shoot: "They made me take my clothes off and poured beer on me. It was stupid."The film's 1976 promotional stunt in New York City attracted attention. In 1990, the New York Daily News said "This obscure slasher [film] is best remembered from its cowboy-style promo campaign, when a loudspeaker-equipped truck bearing an outsized Psycho from Texas banner struck terror into unwary Times Square pedestrians when the pic premiered here back in '76."
