The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

On August 26th, the explosive remake of the massive cult classic The Texas Chainsaw Massacre from director Marcus Nispel (Friday the 13th) makes its global premiere on 4K UHD. This blockbuster was the first movie produced by Michael Bay's studio Platinum Dunes, and the Limited Edition features a 4K Ultra HD (2160p) presentation in Dolby and hours of special features. 

Five friends (including Jessica Biel, Blade:Trinity and Eric Balfour, Skyline) embark on a road trip through Texas and pick up a disoriented teenage girl who performs an extreme act to avoid being taken to the nearby town for help. The group searches for the elusive Sheriff Hoyt (R. Lee Ermey, Full Metal Jacket) to deal with the aftermath of their Good Samaritan deed, but things go murderously wrong when Leatherface (Andrew Bryniarski, Street Fighter) and his chainsaw surprise them. The teenagers appear to be on the menu for the local cannibals. The remake features the return of John Larroquette (Night Court) as the narrator, and Daniel Pearl, the director of photography from Tobe Hooper’s original The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. 

The special features include brand new audio commentaries; archival audio commentaries; new interviews; a making-of documentary; an in-depth look at Ed Gein, who inspired the character of Leatherface; scenes excised from the final edit; deleted scenes, including an alternate opening and ending; screen tests for Jessica Biel, Eric Balfour, and Erica Leerhsen; a behind-the-scenes featurette; cast and crew interviews; theatrical trailers; TV spots; concept art galleries; a double-sided foldout poster featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Aaron Lea, and an illustrated collector’s booklet featuring new writing on the film by Michael Gingold.

Sunday Funday

Today I am feeling footloose and frivilous, thus I hereby bequeath you with a meme that tickled my pickle when I saw it.

Being a fan of Scarface and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre well...the lure of this mash up was too hard to resist and not make a Sunday Funday post of.

Sharing is caring after all and sometimes ya just wanna spread the entertaiment.

After adding levity to your day, don't say I never did anything for you and yours....

"Yes" it's that kind of party!!!

The Paddington Chainsaw Massacre

The Bear Necessities 
Paddington & Marilyn Burns

I thought we could all use a break from the chaos around us and join Paddington on a killing spree, say what?!?!

You read that correctly Minions, Paddington is wielding a mighty chainsaw and is now after Marilyn Burns in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre circa 1974!!! 

This comes courtesy of a brilliant photoshop artist I follow on Twitter Jaythechou, his renderings of Paddington inserted into various movies and TV shows is something that always entertains me on my Twitter feed (these days something has to.)

I do hope you enjoy homicidal Paddington as much as I, pleasant dreams...

Film Buff Friday: The Hills Have Eyes

                                  The hills are alive with the sound of...eyes, yikes!

The Hills Have Eyes [Blu-ray] (September 27th)

THE LUCKY ONES DIED FIRST

Horror master Wes Craven achieved critical and commercial success with the likes of Scream and A Nightmare on Elm Street - but for many genre fans, the director's seminal 1977 effort The Hills Have Eyes remains his masterpiece.

Taking a detour whilst on route to Los Angeles, the Carter family run into trouble when their camper van breaks down in the middle of the desert. Stranded, the family find themselves at the mercy of a group of monstrous cannibals lurking in the surrounding hills. With their lives under threat, the Carters are forced to fight back by any means necessary. 

As grueling a viewing experience today as it was upon initial release, The Hills Have Eyes stands alongside the likes of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and Night of the Living Dead as one of the defining moments in American horror cinema.

Want To Take A "Sunset Stroll?"

Staple Guns Have Many Uses
AHS: Season 6

Coming Wednesday September 14th to FX in your living room, it's the premiere of American Horror Story Season 6. 

So far all that is known about it is it is set in the present day and that Lady Gaga, Sarah Paulson and Angela Bassett are returning.

Two influences I see when I view the trailer? The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is spot on in one of them with isolated house, the weird mobile above the baby's cradle and the odd hands grabbing desperately from under the stairs as someone descends them.

Speaking of the baby's cradle does that demonic looking arm with a butcher knife look like it might belong to the Harmon's demon child from the end of AHS: Murder House? Perhaps, or maybe it's an all together new entity to terrorize us. 

All in all this is shaping up to be the most enigmatic season in the AHS cannon. 

Take a "Sunset Stroll" below...if you dare!!!
