Since being announced, Scream Factory‘s Collector’s Edition Blu-ray release of oddball gem Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation has hit several snags, the first of which was the company being forced to remove stars Matthew McConaughey and Renee Zellweger from the cover art. Then came the delays. Originally set for release on September 25, the Blu-ray was recently bumped to October 30. Then it was bumped to November 13.

The final date? It’s now set for December 11.

The film is being presented by Scream Factory in an ultimate collector’s edition featuring both the theatrical and director’s cuts, with loads of new extras including new audio commentary and interviews with cast and crew. The full special features package includes:
