Was there a serial killer called buffalo bill?
Buffalo Bill was very, very loosely based on the real-life serial killer Ed Gein. I say "very, very loosely" based because Buffalo Bill and Ed Gein have only ONE thing in common: they both sewed together suits out of their victims' skin. Other than that, the Buffalo Bill character bears no resemblance to Ed Gein whatsoever.

What hospital is the Texas Chainsaw Massacre killer at now?
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre never happened in real life. It is a fictional story. The character Leatherface was loosely -- very, very loosely -- based on the real-life serial killer Ed Gein. But so were the characters Norman Bates (from Psycho) and Buffalo Bill (from The Silence of the Lambs), and those movies are fictional, too.The only thing about The Texas Chainsaw Massacre that's true is that Ed Gein wore the skin of his victims like clothes, gutted them and hung them up in his house, and may possibly have eaten some of their remains.EVERYTHING else is fiction.
