Are you ready for the most terrifying film ever made to return to theaters? Tobe Hooper’s seminal classic The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is coming back for one night only on August 18th, 2025.

Fresh off the heels of its year-long 50th Anniversary celebration, its selection for preservation by the Library of Congress’s National Film Registry, and on the 52nd anniversary of the events depicted in the film, this special theatrical presentation invites both lifelong fans and a new generation of horror enthusiasts to witness the power of a film often hailed as the scariest movie ever made. 

Fans will also be treated to a sneak peek of CHAIN REACTIONS, the brand new and soon-to-be-released documentary about the franchise. Directed by Alexandre O. Phillipe, CHAIN REACTIONS explores the impact the 1974 horror film The Texas Chain Saw Massacre had on five artists – Stephen King, Patton Oswalt, Takashi Miike, Alexandra Heller-Nicholas and Karyn Kusama. CHAIN REACTIONS premiered at the 81st Venice International Film Festival.
