Texas Chainsaw 2 fans will gush over Scream Factory’s special features

Last Updated on July 21, 2021

Tobe Hooper's THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE 2 is a deliciously weird follow-up to his original masterpiece that's about as divisive as a cult film can be. However, the new Collector's Edition Blu-Ray from Scream Factory treats the film like it's CITIZEN KANE, which is why I love them.

Check out the jam-packed list of special features they have coming to you!

Disc 1: 
• NEW 2016 2K HD scan of the inter-positive film element
• NEW Audio Commentary with director of photography Richard Kooris, production designer Cary White, script supervisor Laura Kooris and property master Michael Sullivan
• Audio Commentary with director Tobe Hooper
• Audio Commentary with actors Bill Moseley, Caroline Williams and special effects makeup creator Tom Savini
• NEW Extended Outtakes from It Runs in the Family featuring L.M. Kit Carson and Lou Perryman 
• NEW Behind-the-Scenes Footage Compilation from Tom Savini’s archives
• Alternate Opening Credit Sequence 
• Deleted Scenes

• TV Spots

Disc 2: 
• MGM’s original HD Master with color correction supervision by director of photography Richard Kooris
• NEW House of Pain – a interview with make-up effects artists Bart Mixon, Gabe Bartalos, Gino Crognale and John Vulich 
• NEW Yuppie Meat – a interview with actors Chris Douridas and Barry Kinyon 
• NEW Cutting Moments – a interview with editor Alain Jakubowicz 
• NEW Behind the Mask – a interview with stunt man and Leatherface performer Bob Elmore

Honestly, it might even be worth it if you hate the film. TEXAS CHAINSAW 2 is one of Hooper's incredibly strange films from his time at Cannon Films, and the behind-the-scenes stories are certain to be truly insane. The 2-disc collector's edition comes out on April 9th. You can pre-order your copy right here!

Chainsaw-wielding maniac Leatherface is up to his cannibalistic ways once again, along with the rest of his twisted clan, including the equally disturbed Chop-Top. This time, the masked killer has set his sights on pretty disc jockey Vanita "Stretch" Brock, who teams up with Texas lawman Lefty Enright to battle the psychopath and his family deep within their lair, a macabre abandoned amusement park.

THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE 2 stars Caroline Williams, Bill Moseley, JIm Siedow, and Bill Johnson with effects by maestro of gore Tom Savini.
