Arrow Video is releasing limited-edition 4K restorations of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) and The Beginning (2006) on August 26, with Amazon preorders at a 50% discount, pricing each at $25. Preorders are recommended because Arrow Video Limited Editions often sell out soon after release. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise has nine movies, with only the 1974 original and 1986 sequel otherwise available on 4K; Arrow recently released the second film on region-free 4K in the UK. Multiple 4K editions of the 1974 original exist, including slipcased, Steelbook, and expensive anniversary collector's editions.
Two movies in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise slash their way onto 4K Blu-ray for the first time next week, and horror fans can save 50% on their preorders at Amazon. Arrow Video's new limited-edition 4K restorations of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre's 2003 remake and the 2006 prequel The Beginning are up for grabs for only $25 each (was $50).
For a more lavish box set with collectibles, check out the 50th Anniversary Chainsaw Edition. Released last fall, this 4K Blu-ray edition comes with a mini chainsaw replica, a slipcased 4K Blu-ray with exclusive artwork, a collector's box, and a VHS edition that actually works--if you have a tape player. The 50th Anniversary Edition launched with an absurdly high $400 price, but you can get it for 50% off at Amazon. Yes, $200 is still very expensive.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre series currently has nine movies, but the 1974 original and the 1986 sequel are the only other entries with 4K Blu-ray editions. Arrow Video recently released The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 on 4K Blu-ray in the UK. This is a region-free edition, but it's difficult to find and pricier than the upcoming duo since it's not officially carried by US retailers.
