Dark Sky Films is celebrating The Texas Chain Saw Massacre's 50th Anniversary by re-releasing the film theaters nationwide this week!

"50 years ago, five youths on a weekend getaway in the Texas countryside fell prey to a butcher in a mask made of human skin and his cannibalistic family, and horror cinema would never be the same. Violent, confrontational, and shockingly realistic, director Tobe Hooper’s THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE terrified audiences in a way never thought possible when it was unleashed on a politically and socially tumultuous America in 1974. Facing a storm of controversy, censorship, and outcry throughout its troubled release, this masterpiece of horror has stood the test of time to become a landmark motion picture and cultural milestone."
Over 900 theaters nationwide are participating in the re-release, and you can find details on screenings in your location by visiting: https://darkskyfilms.com/film/texas-chainsaw-massacre/
