Get ready for a bloody good time: a brand new animated version of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is in the works.
A Texas Chain Saw Massacre Reborn
On August 18, fans can celebrate “Texas Chain Saw Day” as the original film hits theaters in 4K for a one-night-only screening, courtesy of Dark Sky Films and Fathom Entertainment.
The event will also feature a sneak peek at the animated take on the horror classic. The new take on the story promises to bring the terror to life in a whole new way, and we can’t wait to see how it measures up.
The original Texas Chain Saw Massacre, directed by Tobe Hooper and executive produced by Kim Henkel, has become a horror staple since its release in 1974. The film’s success spawned a franchise with numerous sequels, remakes, and even a TV series.
The new animated version will likely draw from the same dark, gritty atmosphere that made the original film so iconic. With a fresh take on the story, fans may be able to experience a new side of Leatherface and the infamous Sawyer family.

This new animated take on The Texas Chain Saw Massacre could be a great opportunity for a new generation of horror fans to experience the classic story in a fresh way. The animated version might also appeal to fans who are looking for a different type of horror experience, or who want to revisit a favorite from a different perspective.
With a one-night-only screening of the original film in 4K, followed by a sneak peek at the animated take, horror fans have a lot to look forward to on August 18. So mark your calendars and get ready to face the terror of the Sawyers once again.
