Scream Factory announces killer TCM: The Next Generation bonus features

I know I'm not the only one out there that has a big piece of love for the 4th installment in THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE series TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE: THE NEXT GENERATION starring Renee Zellweger and Matthew McConaughey. The film is strange as all shit, but I love that it thinks outside the box and brings one hell of a twist to the relatively simple slasher series.

And if you're a fan of the film like I am then I'm sure you're aware that Scream Factory will be bringing the movie to Blu-ray this December! This will be branded as a “Collector’s Edition” that will come with a slipcover boasting newly-commissioned artwork from Joel Robinson. The reverse side of the wrap will be the original theatrical poster design.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, we already told you guys all of this earlier this year. I know, I remember. But if you remember, in that post, we told you that extras and specs were still in progress and will be announced later in August. Well, August came and went and here we are today in November – and guess what?! – the powers that be over at Scream Factory have finally released the killer list of special features!

Special Features:

Two Cuts of the Film – the theatrical cut (87 minutes – HD) and the director’s cut (93 minutes – HD with standard definition inserts)

NEW Audio Commentary with writer/director Kim Henkel (on Director’s Cut)

NEW The Buzz is Back – an interview with Director of Photography Levie Isaacks

NEW Marked for Death – an interview with actor Tyler Shea Cone

NEW If Looks Could Kill: The Return of a “Chainsaw Massacre” – an interview with special makeup effects artist J.M. Logan and production designer Deborah Pastor

Theatrical Trailer

For those who might not know, the film follows a group of kids who:

After leaving their prom early crash their car in the backwoods of Texas. In their search for help, they run into Vilmer Slaughter (Matthew McConaughey), a vicious psychopath with a mechanical leg, and his twisted family, including the serial killer Leatherface. As the group of friends struggle to survive the maniacal methods of torture, Jenny discovers the secret origins behind the family's lust for blood. 

I'm thinking I might have to snag this Collector's Edition of TCM: THE NEXT GENERATION, if only for that audio commentary with writer-director Kim Henkel. I need to know exactly what was going through that man's head when he crafted this bat-shit flick. If you agree, then get ready as the national street date is planned for December 11, 2019. Until then you can check out the new cover art below and let us know what you think!
