In celebration of the iconic film's 50th Anniversary, the long awaited score album is now available for the very first time in any format. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is a 1974 American Independent horror film produced, co-composed, and directed by Tobe Hooper, who co-wrote it with Kim Henkel. The plot follows a group of friends who fall victim to a family of cannibals while on their way to visit an old homestead. Over the 50 years since its release, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre has become widely regarded as one of the best and most influential horror films ever made.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe film's original score by Tobe Hooper and Wayne Bell is an experimental exercise in music composing and performance that utilizes non-traditional instruments such as suspended cymbals, aluminum saucepans, a children's toy percussion set, various wildlife calls, whistles, shakers, and more. The result is one of the earliest examples of industrial music and has since become known as the \"holy grail\" of film scores due to its status of being either lost or destroyed. As such, Hooper and Bell's innovative score has become highly sought after, spawning countless bootlegs and attempts to re-create it for commercial gain. Waxwork Records' release of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre by Tobe Hooper and Wayne Bell marks the first time the official score will be made available anywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2023, the original film score master tapes were discovered and then privately held at the Harry Ransom Center in Austin, TX for preservation. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre's co-composer Wayne Bell painstakingly worked to have these original source material master tapes safely transferred. Bell then personally worked to construct and mix the newly transferred official Texas Chain Saw Massacre score for a cohesive listening experience. The score was then mastered by Thomas Dimuzio at Gench Mastering.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eWaxwork Records is proud to present THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE Original Motion Picture Score by Tobe Hooper and Wayne Bell as a deluxe vinyl set featuring Blood Red \u0026amp; Black handpoured colored vinyl, heavyweight gatefold jackets with a printed inner flood, exclusive liner notes by co-composer Wayne Bell, an 11\"x11\" twelve page booklet with production and behind the scenes photography, and full album design by Steve Reeves.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 02\/14\/2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: Hand Poured\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabel: Waxwork Records\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Soundtracks \u0026amp; Film Scores\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Tobe Hooper and Wayne Bell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42175235129425,"sku":"YNOZ1B-UUID-00","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/the-texas-chainsaw-massacre-original-motion-picture-score-1974-red-black_YwBL4.png?v=1759489869","url":"https:\/\/apocalypsevinyl.com\/products\/tobe-hooper-and-wayne-bell-the-texas-chain-saw-massacre-original-motion-picture-score-1974-redblack-vinyl","provider":"Apocalypse Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
