In its latest revamp, Netflix is all set to bid adieu to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, an iconic slasher flick from the ’70s, come next month. The constantly revolving door of the popular streaming platform’s content library may bring forth a fresh batch of titles every other month, but it also results in the regular expulsion of a host of movies and TV shows.
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre leaves Netflix in February
Netflix subscribers have a limited window to view The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, as the 1974 film is on track to part ways with the streaming service.
As per What’s On Netflix, the classic horror movie, directed, co-composed, co-written, and produced by Tobe Hooper, will exit Netflix’s roster on February 18, 2026.
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre revolves around the escapades of five friends, led by Marilyn Burns’ Sally, who decide to pay a visit to one of their grandfathers. They soon pass through a deserted house, which seems normal at first, only for a sinister threat, armed with a lethal chainsaw, to reveal itself sometime later.
Aside from Marilyn Burns, who plays Sally, Allen Danziger (Jerry), Paul A. Partain (Franklin), William Vail (Kirk), and Teri McMinn (Pam) round out the cast for the remaining friends. The supporting lineup also features Edwin Neal, Jim Siedow, John Dugan, and John Henry Faulk, with Gunnar Hansen donning the mantle of Leatherface and John Larroquette pitching in as the narrator.
Since its release in 1974, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre has become a cultural phenomenon due to its impact on the slasher horror genre as a whole. The movie has garnered immense praise for its innovative filmmaking technique and currently boasts a Tomatometer score of 85 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. It also scored an impressive 82 percent on the Popcormeter, based on the audience’s response.
Additionally, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre was a financial success, earning just shy of $31 million at the global box office, as per Box Office Mojo. Eventually, it led to the creation of an entire franchise, comprising numerous movies, comics, video games, and more.
