But most fans won\u2019t be watching it first \u2014 or even eighth \u2014 when they pick up the set. That\u2019s because the <a href=\"https:\/\/selects.darkskyfilms.com\/products\/chain-reactions\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Dark Sky<\/a> release will have an astounding eight cuts of Tobe Hooper\u2019s horror classic. Did you even know there were that many versions in existence?<\/p>\n<p>So what are the versions of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre that are included? Let\u2019s check them out: the 16mm Overscan Print (85 mins); the 16mm \u2018BBQ Edition\u2019 Print (84 mins); the 35mm Grindhouse Print (80 mins); the 1981 Wizard Video VHS (84 mins); the 1987 Bootleg Czechoslovakian VHS (69 mins); the 1978 Super 8mm Print (Iver Film Services) (22 mins); and the 1980s Slovakian Betamax (83 mins). For you multilingual folks out there, the Czech and Slovakian cuts are featured in their native languages without subtitles. The set is limited to 3,000 copies (well, 2,999 now that I just placed my pre-order) at an absolute steal of $35.98. Also included is a 24-page booklet.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the official synopsis of Chain Reactions: \u201cFifty years after Tobe Hooper\u2019s THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE shocked the world and forever changed the face of global cinema and popular culture, CHAIN REACTIONS charts the film\u2019s profound impact and lasting influence on five great artists \u2013 Patton Oswalt, Takashi Miike, Alexandra Heller-Nicholas, Stephen King, and Karyn Kusama through early memories, sensory experiences, and childhood trauma. By crafting a dynamic dialogue between contemporary footage and never-before-seen outtakes and delving into personal impressions triggered by distinct audiovisual formats (16mm, 35mm, VHS, digital), CHAIN REACTIONS goes to the heart of how a scruffy, no-budget independent film wormed its way into our collective nightmares and permanently altered the zeitgeist.\u201d Special features for the doc itself are a commentary with director Alexandre O. Philippe and outtakes from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.<\/p>\n<p>Last year marked <a href=\"https:\/\/www.joblo.com\/the-texas-chainsaw-massacre-theatres\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the 50th anniversary<\/a> of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.<\/p>\n<p>Will you be picking up the Chain Reactions set?
