It’s hard to believe that it’s been fifty(!) years since Texas Chainsaw Massacre premiered in theaters. The movie where Leatherface, a killer wearing a mask of human skin, maimed and murdered some young folk just looking for a fun weekend in the Texas countryside is a classic.
To celebrate the movie’s anniversary, it’s heading back to theaters in a 4K restored edition apparently overseen by director Tobe Hooper before he passed away in 2017. We also have a new trailer put together by Mark Woollen, which you can check out at the end of this post.
For those who missed the film when it came out in 1974 and in the forty-nine ensuing years, here’s the Dark Sky Films synopsis:
Fifty years ago, five youths on a weekend getaway in the Texas countryside fell prey to a butcher in a mask made of human skin and his cannibalistic family, and horror cinema would never be the same. Violent, confrontational, and shockingly realistic, director Tobe Hooper’s The Texas Chainsaw Massacre terrified audiences in a way never thought possible when it was unleashed on a politically and socially tumultuous America in 1974. Facing a storm of controversy, censorship, and outcry throughout its troubled release, this masterpiece of horror has stood the test of time to become a landmark motion picture and cultural milestone.
The movie heads to theaters once again this October, and you can follow the link here to see if there’s a showing playing near you.
Check out the new trailer below. [end-mark]
