We’ve just had word from Dark Sky Selects that they are bringing a massive 50th-anniversary edition of Texas Chain Saw Massacre to Blu-ray shelves later this year. As far as I can see, the new Texas Chain Saw Massacre Blu-ray is only for US audiences but this could lead to a further release after.
This multi-disc set will include the new 4K UHD edition of the film, a Blu-ray bonus disc containing new extra features, and an exclusive VHS release of the movie. The special edition collector’s set will be housed in a custom-created box, which is a replica of the iconic chain saw from the film. Opening the chainsaw triggers the sound of Leatherface wielding the chainsaw in the film. Each box set will be numbered and only 5000 have been created.

This limited edition also features a newly designed 50th Anniversary O-card and brand-new bonus content, including The Merchandise of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and The Restoration of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.
