Additionally, the horizontally stretched aspect ratios on the deleted and alternate scenes have been corrected.

The It Runs In The Family documentary, theatrical trailer, and alternate and deleted scenes are now framed in deinterlaced HD (upscaled where applicable) rather than SD with combing. The new edition not only adds a ton of bonus features, but improves upon most of the features which were on the earlier MGM disc. Scream Factory often has great new art for their releases, but I think this is quite possibly the best one they’ve done. My copy came with a slipcover with the new art as well.

It also sports incredible new cover art, plus the Breakfast Club parody poster design on the reverse. It cannibalizes all the content from the MGM disc - including that DP-approved transfer, for those who prefer it, plus a ton of new interview features produced by Red Shirt Pictures, and other goodies.

This new edition from Scream Factory has more features than you can shake three chainsaws at. As extras go it was no slouch, packing the feature-length documentary It Runs In The Family, a commentary, deleted scenes, and other goodies, but fans lamented the noisiness and color timing of the transfer, as well as the egregious Saw-inspired cover artwork that tried to make it look like a contemporary me-too torture porn instead of a bizarro horror classic (see also: the Twilightization of Near Dark). The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2 has been released on Blu-ray before, by MGM. The Two Cents gang covered this one as well, and surprisingly gave an overwhelmingly favorable response. In short, it was everything the original was not.

Full of eye-popping color, dark but silly humor, a surprising amount of action including a chainsaw duel, and buckets of gore.

When The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2 finally came together with original director Tobe Hooper on board, it did so very quickly, and it was as a whole ‘nother thing. It would be more than a decade before the influential and revered classic would spawn a sequel, perhaps intimidated by accolades, increasingly iconic status, and raw, unnerving power that the first film had achieved. We covered it on Two Cents for its 40th Anniversary in 2014 and the praise was both vigorous and unanimous, as it tends to be everywhere. Relentlessly moody, grimy, and, well, relentless, it’s still the epitome of gut-wrenching terror filmmaking that’s more interested in the threat of violence than its gory execution. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre enjoys a revered spot at the top of horrordom, frequently referenced (with equal attention to The Exorcist) as the “greatest” or “scariest” horror classic of all time.
