‘Texas Chain Saw Massacre’ Video Game Looks So Realistic That It’s Scary (Video)

Gun Interactive (Friday the 13th: The Game) is gearing up for their The Texas Chain Saw Massacre video game. The new trailer (via IGN) compares the 1974 original film and the game that will make you feel like you’ve stepped right into Tobe Hooper’s classic. Like their impressive Friday the 13th: The Game, Gun Interactive has recreated locations from the movie right down to the most minuscule details. There is no doubt this game will leave your jaw on the floor. It’s so realistic that it’s scary.

Today, FX announced the July premiere date for the fourth season of vampire comedy “What We Do in the Shadows,” which was renewed just ahead of the season 3 finale.

Season three ended strangely with the clan ready to leave Staten Island and go their separate ways, except for Colin who is now a baby again?
