Is the Texas Chainsaw family a real family of killers?

No. There has never been a chainsaw massacre in Texas committed by a family of degenerate cannibals.People like to say that The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is "based on" the true story of the serial killer Ed Gein. But Ed Gein did not live in Texas, he did not murder his victims with a chainsaw, he didn't belong to a family of killers, and he was only convicted of two murders, and most likely didn't commit more than half a dozen or so.It's called The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, yet the real thing didn't happen in Texas, didn't happen with a chainsaw, and wasn't a massacre. So how is it a true story?

Why do you say Texas chain saw massacre is fictional?

Because none of the characters from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies actually existed in real life, and none of the events depicted in the movies ever happened in real life. Leatherface is a fictional character, and there has never been a "chainsaw massacre" committed in Texas (or anywhere else in the U.S.) by a family of deranged cannibals. See the Related Question below for more details.

Is the chainsaw massacre still alive?

Although The Texas Chainsaw Massacre was touted as a true story, it really isn't. It was merely inspired by a true story. There is a big difference.In the words of another answerer, "The true parts are: there is Texas, chainsaws are sold there."The creators had heard the Ed Gein story. Gein, from Plainfield, WI killed several women on his remote farm and made furniture and clothes out of the bodies. Gein was found insane and lived the rest of his life institutionalized until his death in the 1970s.Gein also inspired the book Psycho that was later made into a hit movie by director Alfred Hitchcock in the 1960s. Gein was also the inspiration for the Buffalo Bill character in The Silence of the Lambs. And both The Silence of the Lambsand Psycho are fictional stories too, just like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.The Texas Chainsaw Massacre has about as much truth in it as Psycho and The Silence of the Lambs: almost none. A few tiny grains of fact do not a true story make.So, the only true part of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre was that Ed Gein wore the skin of his victims like clothing, decapitated and disemboweled them before hanging them up in his house, and may possibly have eaten some of their remains.Ed Gein merely sparked the idea for a fictional story (three fictional stories, rather). Neither The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, nor Psycho, nor The Silence of the Lambs are "based on a true story." They are merely inspired by one.Movies are not actually alive, however much they may come to life on the screen.


Number of people who died during the Texas revolution?

Sorry, there is/was no such person as "Leatherface", nor was there ever a real Texas Chainsaw Massacre in Texas or any other location in the world for that matter.The story is VERY LOOSELY based upon Ed Gein, a man from Plainfield, Wisconsin in the 1950's, who murdered only a few women and used parts of their bodies for clothing and furniture. There wasn't even a chainsaw involved in the murders. Ed's story inspired many fictional stories and movies including Psycho, Silence of the Lambs, the movie Ed Gein, Three on a Meathook, Deranged, and several others. He was eventually caught and put in a mental institution in Wisconsin. He never entered the Texas justice system as thought by many. Gein never even visited Texas in his life. He died in Wisconsin in 1984 in a mental institution of natural causes.The story of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is an original idea created by Tobe Hooper and Kim Henkel in 1973. Tobe knew of the story of Ed Gein and incorporated his idea of using a chainsaw to create the Leatherface character. If there ever was any "chainsaw massacre" of any kind, anywhere, it is totally unrelated, completely coincidental and had no bearing or impact on Tobe Hooper and Kim Henkel's creative process during the production of their 1974 film.The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a HUGE urban legend known by many people around the world. If your friend or family member swears that it happened, or they personally knew Leatherface in prison, etc., they're not alone. They're either lying or they themselves have been lied to.However in the Movie's:5 People are killed in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)7 People are killed in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986)6 People are killed in Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III (1990)4 People are killed in Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1994)5 People are killed in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)6 People are killed in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning (2006)
