Fright Rags will kick off their series of homages to the VHS era with The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Video Series box set, which will be available on January 25th. Also: a new Clowntergeist trailer, Uncanny Valley release details and launch trailer, and Terror Films' slate of upcoming releases.
Fright Rags' The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Collection: From Ben at Fright Rags: "On January 25th, we will release the first in what we plan to be a series of box sets that pay homage to the VHS-era and, more importantly, our childhood. In addition to recreating art that we loved as kids, these limited edition box sets will also contain things from that era; stickers that you would readily see at stores and on tapes, as well as delicious custom made microwaveable popcorn.
The first box set to be released in this series is one of the films that defines the home video era: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
Designed by artist Richard Hescox, this cover taunted me as a kid; it was equally scary as it was mesmerizing and led me to rent the movie and ultimately fall in love with it. We had the pleasure of working with him to be able to release this design, and I couldn't be more thrilled. This box set is limited to 300 and will be released on January 25 at 10 a.m. EST. While the black shirt will only be available in the box, a hoodie, baseball tee, and blue vintage ringer will also be available."

About the game
Welcome to Uncanny Valley – an unsettling story-driven survival horror where nothing is as it seems. Explore an isolated facility and solve its many mysteries, but be warned: the choices you make have meaningful consequences that will determine your fate. Play through multiple times to reveal all of Uncanny Valley’s darkest secrets.
You play as Tom, a security guard working the night shift at an abandoned facility in the middle of nowhere. Already troubled by disturbing dreams, Tom’s reality takes a terrifying twist as he explores the eerie offices and corridors of the facility and begins to uncover the shocking secrets hidden within its walls…
Consequence System Rather than failure always being greeted by death, Uncanny Valley uses a consequence system which imposes lasting effects on the player. For example, a mistake may result in a broken arm, which in turn presents problems when trying to use a weapon. This changing dynamic impacts story and gameplay requires players to rethink their approach to certain situations and ensures a chilling sense of ever-present uneasiness.
Key Features
A huge, creepy facility to explore Ominous and oppressive atmosphere Compelling story with rich characters Multiple endings to discover Consequences which impact story and gameplay"
