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?
