Horror Month – June 2015
Loved by horror geeks universally; a special edition DVD or Blu-Ray release. The appeal comes equally from the packing, presentation, special features & promotional items that are included with the set. These range from well designed standard jewel cases all the way to through to full-blown promotional sets. Here I examine a few such sets from my own collection and elsewhere.
Texas Chain Saw Massacre: 40th Anniversary Black Maria [Blu-ray] – Region A
To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the films release Dark Sky Films proudly presents THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE in an all-new 4k digital transfer and with a newly created 7.1 surround sound mix supervised by Tobe Hooper. Get ready to experience fear in a whole new way.
This Limited Edition packaging is built as a replica of the famous Black Maria semi-truck from the film and includes a blood-spattered Leatherface apron, the official theatrical mini poster, as well as a 5th bonus disc exclusive to this release.

ooo that Universal Monsters boxset looks tasty.
I’m not a massive fan of slasher movies, but that Texas Chainsaw box set looks pretty cool too 🙂
