Why did Texas chain saw massacre kill people?

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a movie, not a person/character. However, Leatherface in the movie's reasons would be; Insanity, persuasion of his family, and his contempt for those that might make fun of him for his deformities.


Is leather face in A Texas Chainsaw Massacre based on a real person?

No, there was never an actual Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Leather Face was loosely based on a man named Ed Gein. A Wisconsin man that in the 1950's murdered a few women and used their body parts to make furniture and other household items. His story also inspired Psycho and The Silence of The Lambs and the movie Ed Gein. Toby Hooper and Kim Henkle wrote the story of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre using bits of info from the Ed Gein story, they added a chainsaw in to make it add to the story a bit scarier. On a personal note: I lived in Texas as a child and I grew up being told that the Texas Chainsaw Massacre was a true story. I was told this by many family members and still till this day my papa swears it's a true story. Sorry to burst your bubble pops, it's not a true story.


Will they make a remake of Texas Chainsaw Massacre?

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) has already been remade. Very, very poorly, I might add. Seriously, do not waste your money renting or buying the 2003 remake. It is a total piece of garbage (just like every single other remake out there).They also made a prequel, in 2006, and it is equally awful.See the Related Links below for information about these movies.


Where were the murders of the chainsaw massacre?

The Texas chainsaw massacres is a spin off of Ed Gein, a man from northern Wisconsin who would dig up bodies and use their faces and other body parts to make masks and furniture. The only difference is that Ed Gein never actually murdered any body.


Why do people make fun of Freddy Krueger?

FreddyThey are simply jealous and they need to leave him alone or "1, 2, he will come for you." Freddy Krueger is not even real...and if freddy was real people make fun of him because they want to show they're not scaredMy Opinion On Freddy:I believe people make fun of freddy because of the almost comical way he executes his victims, some of the ideas in the first movie consisted of seemingly silly things, such as when he kills a victim with his own bedsheets, and when the phone is being held and it turns into his mouth, and at the end of the first movie he pulls nancy's mother through a tiny window in the front door and the mother is clearly a puppet when this happens, i think at the time of release this would have all been scary, but is difficult to appriciate in the modern day because of all the 'shocking' gore based films that are currently in circulation.another thing that i think could cause people to make fun of him is that some of the movies really weren't horror movies (for example the third one:dream warriors) the third movie became more of an action style film, and the characters featured were almost humerous because their character roles were so bizzare and quirky. im no expert on the films, but i have seen the first five and this is just my opinion on them, i do agree with the first answer and that people make fun of him simply because he scares them and the humour is a way of pretending that the character isn't scary.hope this helps you :)


Were all the deaths in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre real?

No, it's a pure work of fiction. Despite the disclaimer at the beginning of the movie that it's based on a real story, this is itself a fiction, designed to make it look like it's a drama-documentary and probably used as a ploy to get more people to go and see the film.The movie, along with Psycho which was released in 1960, was based upon the case of Winsconsin farmer Ed Gein, a psychotic maniac who was convicted of murdering two women in 1954 and '57, was suspected of killing three more whose remains were never found, and who exhumed the bodies of other people from local graveyards in order to make clothing and keepsakes from their bones and skin- one such was his own mother Augusta. He ate some of his victim's body parts, kept their bones and other remains around his house, and kept their disembowelled torso's hanging in one of his outhouses. But he didn't use a chainsaw to kill them, he shot them instead with a .22 calibre rifle. Gein died in a Madison mental hospital in July 1984 aged 77, of a heart attack brought on by cancer.But no 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre' ever happened in real life.

Why is Texas Chainsaw Massacre rated r?

Its one of the most scariest movies of all time it didn't have that much blood or gore but nobody ever said you need that to make a scary movie the reason why is because its so realistic and just very disturbing to watch its not about zombies or vampires or guys with machetes with a hockey mask or a guy who kills you in your dreams or a killer doll its about a crazy pychopathetic family that are both just plain out weird and sadistic it doesn't matter if the movie is something that actually happened or not but the fact that it could happen.


What was controversial about the Blair Witch Project?

It wasn't controversial when it came out. But it was one of the first widely released films -- if not the first -- to use handheld, home-movie cameras. Using hand-held cameras, to get that realistic, home-movie look, is now a bit of a cliche, but at the time, it was a very innovative technique.The other exciting thing about it was the fact that it was advertised as a true story. Supposedly, the dead kids' tapes had been found in the woods, and all the footage was completely real.The moviemakers worked very hard to make the hoax believable: for example, when the movie first came out, the actors were listed as "missing, presumed dead" on the imdb (Internet Movie DataBase) entry for the film. In fact, some people actually still believe that the film is real!Passing a fictional movie off as the truth was not a new tactic: both the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Fargo, for example, were also touted as true stories, when in fact they are completely fictional. But the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Fargo were presented as "based on a true story." They were supposed to be fictionalized, dramatized accounts. The Blair Witch Project was not supposed to be based on a true story. It was supposed to be a real, unadulterated home movie that had been discovered in the woods.

Why was it called The Texas Chainsaw Massacre not The Wisconsin Massacre?

Because The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is not based on a true story; it's fiction. Ed Gein is NOT The Texas Chainsaw Massacre killer. He's just the guy who gave the moviemakers the idea for the Leatherface character.Just because a writer gets an idea for a movie or book from real life, doesn't mean that movie/book is "based on a true story."All writers get their ideas from real life. Occasionally, a great idea will just come to you, seemingly from out of the blue, and you honestly have no idea where it came from. But for the most part, writers don't come up with ideas from nothing. They get their ideas from things they see and experience in the real world, be it personal experiences, or newspaper stories.For example, say you read a story in the newspaper about a notorious female drug dealer in New York City. This gives you the idea for a character named Stella Banx, a tough and powerful woman who, at the age of 55, is slowly dying of syphilis. With the Mayor's approval, she runs the most lucrative brothel in all of 19th century New Orleans, with the help of her two murderous yet loyal daughters, Kit and Marie.Now, wouldn't it be silly to say that the story of Stella Banx is "based on a true story?" The real life story and the fictional story are nothing alike! Stella Banx isn't a drug dealer, she doesn't live in the 21st century, she doesn't live in New York City, she has two daughters, she's friends with the Mayor, she has syphilis...When a movie/book is "based on a true story," it means that the author/moviemakers strived to make the movie/book as close to the truth as possible. No such attempt was made with The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The moviemakers never made any effort to accurately portray the Ed Gein story. Instead, they just took a few teeny-tiny grains of truth, and everything else is fictional.The only similarities between the Ed Gein case and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre are that Ed Gein wore the skin of his victims like clothing, decapitated and gutted them and hung them up in his house, and may possibly have eaten some of their remains.Ed Gein did not live in Texas, he did not belong to a family of killers, he did not murder his victims with a chainsaw, and he never stalked a bunch of teenagers that were passing by his house!Again, just because the author/moviemaker got an idea from real life, doesn't mean the book/movie is based on a true story!Just to name a few examples out of a million, many of Jane Austen's characters were based, at least in part, on herself or people she knew. But that doesn't mean Pride and Prejudiceis based on a true story.Nearly all of Stephen King's main characters (the male ones, anyway) are pretty much self-portraits. They're all variations of himself. But that doesn't mean Stephen King's novels are based on true stories, either!Additionally, Stephen King got the idea for Ellen Rimbauer and the Rose Red mansion from Sarah Winchester and the Winchester Mansion. But Ellen Rimbauer and Rose Red are still fiction: for one thing, no one has ever died or gone missing in the Winchester Mansion. And the life of Sarah Winchester was absolutely nothing like the life of the fictional Ellen Rimbauer.The idea for the Freddy Krueger character came from a creepy vagrant who frightened writer/director Wes Craven when he was a child. The man wore a hat and sweater similar to Freddy's. But that doesn't mean the Nightmare on Elm Street movies are based on a true story!And the plot of nearly every Law & Order episode comes from newspaper stories of real-life crimes. But they still can legitimately put the disclaimer that, "the events in this story are fictional and do not depict any real person or event," at the beginning of each episode, because they change so many of the facts that it becomes fiction.And finally, both The Silence of the Lambs and Psycho were also inspired by the Ed Gein murders. But nobody ever tries to call The Silence of the Lambs or Psycho"based on a true story." The amount of truth in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Silence of the Lambs and Psycho is the same: almost none.I repeat: Ed Gein is NOT the Texas Chainsaw Massacre killer. He's just the guy who inspired the character Leatherface.Saying that The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is based on a true story, because they got the idea from Ed Gein, is like saying that A Nightmare on Elm Street is based on a true story, because Wes Craven got the idea for Freddy from that homeless guy who scared him so many years ago.I really cannot stress this enough: ALL writers get their ideas from real life. A movie/book is only "based on a true story" when the writer tries to depict the truth as accurately as possible. If the author just uses something in real life as inspiration, but the book/movie they produce is totally different from what really happened...then it's not based on a true story.In other words, a movie/book is not automatically "based on a true story" just because one or two things are similar to something that really happened.If we say that a movie/book is "based on a true story" just because the author/moviemaker got the idea from something in real life, then we are basically saying that every movie/book is based on a true story.
