This year marks the 50th anniversary of Tobe Hooper's horror classic The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, and Dark Sky Films is pulling out all the stops with a massive new deluxe edition. Now up for pre-order, the Texas Chain Saw Massacre: 50th Anniversary Chainsaw Edition comes loaded with the 4K UHD version of the film, a Blu-ray, a bonus Blu-ray disc, and—get this—an exclusive VHS release with the original cover art!

But that's not all. Dark Sky teased, "Everything's packed inside a replica of the iconic chainsaw from the film, and when you open it, you'll hear the chilling sound of Leatherface revving it up." Plus, it's all wrapped up in a special 50th Anniversary numbered box. This limited edition also comes with a newly designed O-card and fresh bonus content like The Merchandise of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and The Restoration of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.

At 300 dollars it ain't cheap, but for the collector who's looking for what is most likely the ultimate edition of this cult classic, it just might be worth the price. Here's the full breakdown of what's included in the box:
