Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Well, it had to happen sooner or later. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise is revving up for another entry that will find everyone's favorite flesh-wearing maniac slicing his way out of the big screen.

Just a few months ago we reported on fledgling horror clothing company Creepy Tees’ phenomenal Limited Edition Friday the 13th T-shirt, and owner Erik recently got in touch to treat us to some of their latest designs – the most wondrous of which is an amazing glow-in-the-dark Re-Animator shirt! From the Press Release:

And the Toy Fair goodies keep rolling in, this time taking us to Texas for a little plastic inspired barbecue with one of our dearest cannibalistic inbred cousins -- the one and only Leatherface from The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and for the first time ever Leatherface from Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III!

Jason's done 3D (and will do so again next year). Freddy's done 3D. Michael Myers might do 3D. Now Leatherface is going to rev up his chainsaw for a three-dimensional chainsaw massacre, at least if the Saw producers close their pending deal to take over the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise.

This week sees a couple of re-releases on Blu-Ray (Snakes on a Plane and 2003's Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake), a few unknowns (Bloodwine, Farmhouse, Flesh, TX, and Nightmare), "real life" compilations Haunted Histories and Paranormal State: Demonic Investigations, and lots more; but the star of show is without a doubt The Hills Run Red.

A true bounty of goods await those who have a few extra dollars to spend on DVDs this week what with Grace, Deadgirl, and (can you believe it?) Phantasm II finally hitting the home market, An American Werewolf in London and Army of Darkness bowing on Blu-ray, and NBC's Fear Itself anthology series getting released in its entirety. And that's just the beginning!

As any horror fan worth their salt knows, back in 1974, a little film was released (or unleashed) upon the public with the off-putting yet intriguing title, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.

Every year there's at least one day on which a bunch of horror classics all come out of the woodwork. For Blu-ray owners that day is September 8th, 2009, as Warner Bros unleashes Snakes on a Plane, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (remake), Freddy Vs. Jason and even the classic King/Romero collaboration Creepshow into the high definition arena!

There's been lots of documentation relating to Tobe Hooper's classic film The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, but nothing as unique as Christopher Garetano's South Texas Blues -- the TCM making-of graphic novel.

Just under two weeks to go before the Eerie Horror Film Festival takes over The Warner Theater in Erie, PA for the first time, and needless to say, its organizers (our very own David & Melissa Bostaph among them) are eagerly waiting the film festival’s debut in the prestigious theater.

We’re getting close to the best holiday ever, which means our DVD choices are going to become more and more varied. Never a bad thing! Check out the latest releases for Tuesday, September 30th, 2008 below!

The most celebrated and wonderful holiday in the history of mankind, Halloween, is approaching us quicker than I think any of use realize and with the holiday comes the hauntings. The best place to experience real terror this season? Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights!

About two years ago we reviewed ultimate Texas Chainsaw Massacre DVD from Dark Sky, and it was good. Everything from the special features all the way down to the transfer kicked some major leathery ass. It was good headcheese for all. But now that we've entered into the Blu-ray era, will Leatherface and the family get their due?

While on the set of the Friday the 13th remake, we had the chance to sit down with the men behind the film, Platinum Dunes’ Andrew Form and Brad Fuller. Together they gave us a good overview of what’s on the horizon for Dunes and their various projects.
