SCREAM FACTORY™ PRESENTS
THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE 2 [COLLECTOR’S EDITION]
ON BLU-RAY APRIL 19

Back in October Scream Factory announced that they would be releasing Tobe Hopper’s horror/comedy classic The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 on Blu-ray. They promised this would be the ultimate collector’s edition, jam-packed with hours of extras. Now they’ve released the official bonus features and they weren’t lying! This 2-disc set includes over 5 hours of bonus content with a slew of it being brand-new! I’m pretty stoked for all of this, but that behind-the-scenes footage from Tom Savini’s archives has me salivating! As an added bonus, the April 19th release date happens to be my birthday, so just an FYI for anyone looking to get me a gift.

In 1974, horror fans rejoiced upon the release of Tobe Hooper’s masterpiece, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The movie raised the stakes of in-your-face filmmaking and changed the face of horror. Twelve years later, Hooper and the Sawyer clan are back with this deviously entertaining sequel, starring Dennis Hopper in one of the most deliciously crazed performances of his career.

For a decade, Texas Ranger Lefty Enright (Hopper) has sought to avenge the brutal murder of his kin by the cannibalistic Sawyer family – Leatherface, Chop-Top, The Cook and Grandpa. With the help of a radio DJ (Caroline Williams), who’s also bent on putting an end to the terror, Lefty finds his way to the Sawyers’ underground slaughter shop, where a battle of epic proportions will soon rage… and the line between good and evil gets chopped to bits!
