We don’t know about ya’ll but that VHS of TCM that comes in this new set looks to be the prize many will covet as an original Texas Chainsaw Massacre VHS, in mint condition runs for only $50 on ebay but the cover that Dark Sky is using is from the Beta-Max version of the film (we’re dating ourselves now aren’t we?) and this version goes for major money, just check out the Ebay listing below.

We highly recommend you jump on this set for your collection. As you can see above, anything TCM, that is original, goes for some major money…eventually, so pick this “Chainsaw Edition” up or you’ll regret it.

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre 50th Anniversary Chainsaw Edition is the third of many iconic Dark Sky titles that will be available this year. Additional limited-edition releases of fan-favorite films and merch will be announced throughout the year, which will only be available direct to consumers at DarkSkySelects.com.
