'Texas Chain Saw Day' Trailer - Celebrate This Horror Classic in August

"Sally, I hear something. Stop!" Dark Sky Films & Fathom have announced that August 18th is officially Texas Chain Saw Day, in honor of the original release of the horror classic back in the 70s. It first opened in theaters in October 1974. The recent 4K restoration of this horror was re-released back in 2024 already (here's that trailer). Directed by Tobe Hooper, the original The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is an iconic horror masterpiece still influencing cinema today. Five friends stumble across what appears to be a deserted house, only to discover something sinister within. Something with a chainsaw. Starring Marilyn Burns, Paul A. Partain, Edwin Neal, Jim Siedow, Gunnar Hansen. For the 2026 Texas Chain Saw Day, B-D reports that it will also include an exclusive behind-the-scenes featurette exploring the painstaking art of rotoscoping, the century-old animation technique. The film is being fully animated using rotoscoping (no AI, all by hand) by director Paul Beck (A Scanner Darkly, Apollo 10-1/2) for a fresh new take on this classic. Fathom is hosting a special event screening on August 18th in theaters nationwide if you want to see it on the big screen again. // Continue Reading ›
