Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The (1974) (UE)
Release Date: 09/26/06
"While Pioneer's version of this macabre masterpiece was admirable, this two-disc special addition of the most influential post-Psycho horror film to ever make chainsaw vivisections look line a fine art is simply PACKED with goodies. Presented in an anamorphic widescreen transfer, this is the best Hooper's filmic debut has ever looked! An HD transfer from the original; 16mm negative, the picture shows no signs of speckling, dirt, or grain, the picture is evenly distributed, and the colors are lush. While the picture still looks low lit and grimy, this was the intent of the crew, capturing further the illusion of realism. The elements themselves have been cleaned considerably. Audio is likewise impressive, containing both Digital Dolby 5.1 and 2.0 Stereo, not to mention the original mono track. Both provide enjoyable listening, free from distraction of muffling echoes, bringing the pain into your living room. Subtitles in English and Spanish are also provided"
'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2' Gets SE DVD Release
September
"Commemorating the 20th anniversary of Tobe Hooper's sequel, MGM Home Entertainment will be releasing a special edition The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 in September, Davis DVD reports via Horror Hound Magazine. Details are still sketchy, but word is that the disc will feature new interviews with cast and crew, including stars Bill Moseley and Tom Savini, along with deleted scenes and a new anamorphic widescreen transfer. Fango also reports that the DVD will include a six-part documentary, running about 90 minutes and featuring interviews with nearly a dozen cast and crew members, covering the entire production including the screenwriting, casting, art direction/set design, makeup FX and more, with never-before-seen on-set footage. Now we'll finally be able to see the Bill Moseley deleted scene everyone's been talking about! Click the link below to see the cover art for the DVD release"

Being a big fan of the original TCM & TCM 2, I am very glad to see that both movies are getting the HD transfer treatment. I know TCM might not look that great even with this transfer, but the movie was shot in 16mm which is understandable. I can't wait to see the new transfer on TCM 2, which it was really bad on the initial DVD release.
