Remembering a Masterpiece of Horror: Why We Celebrate August 18th, Texas Chain Saw DayThe saw is family. On that date, we celebrate Texas Chain Saw Day, now officially registered and recognized across the nation (as it should be). The fact of the matter is there’s no single reason we celebrate the legacy of Hooper’s classic with Texas Chain Saw Day. And there’s no better way to start than with The Texas Chain Saw Massacre on Texas Chain Saw Day. And, for all you Texas Chain Saw Massacre fans planning to celebrate Texas Chain Saw Day by seeing the film back on the big screen this August, you’re in for an extra surprise.
