Moviegoers learned that "the saw is family" when Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III was released in theaters back in 1990. Now, over a quarter of a century later, Warner Archive announced that the third entry in Tobe Hooper's seminal horror franchise will finally be coming to Blu-ray in the US.
On a slideshow (see below) posted to Twitter, Warner Archive revealed that Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III will be released on Blu-ray sometime in 2018. A specific release date and special features have yet to be announced, but we'll be sure to keep Daily Dead readers updated as more details are revealed. In the meantime, for those unfamiliar with the third entry in the Texas Chainsaw franchise, we have the official synopsis (via Blu-ray.com) and trailer below.
"A pair of college students driving coast to coast are lured off the main highway and onto a deserted Texas road. Here they are stalked by the menacing Leatherface and his demented family... a bizarre cannibalistic clan with blood on their hands and a feast on their minds. Their only chance to escape is a survivalist with enough firepower to blast Leatherface and the rest of the grizzly predators to hell. A depraved shocker of intense terror from the gruesome beginning to the bloody finish."
Directed by Jeff Burr from a screenplay by David J. Schow, Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III stars Ken Foree, Kate Hodge, Viggo Mortensen, R.A. Mihailoff, Tom Everett, Toni Hudson.

When he’s not writing about horror as the Senior News Reporter for Daily Dead, Derek can be found daydreaming about the Santa Carla Boardwalk from The Lost Boys or reading Stephen King and Brian Keene novels.
