Thousands and thousands of video store owner demo tapes were made during the 1980's. Distributors would send these out to get video store owners to buy copies of their product. Often the trailers and content differed vastly from the actual VHS release. The demo tapes were sent out on the cheap. No tape guard, bare bones box art and designed to play really only once..just enough to sell the film.
This "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2" demo tape features the TCM2 teaser trailer, a chopped mini-trailer for "TCM" and completely different narrative set-up than the film had itself.
I have not included the Sneak Preview of "TCM2" on this upload due to copyright issues.
I have included a fresh scan of the video box art. This appears at the begining of the clip.
