Was leather face based on a true story?

Answer 1

Despite the disclaimer at the beginning of the original film, which touts the movie as "...an account of a tragedy which befell a group of five youths...For them an idyllic summer afternoon drive became a nightmare...This video cassette is based on a true incident and is definitely not for the squeamish..." in truth The Texas Chainsaw Massacre was not really based on a true story.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre never happened in real life.

The filmmakers just wanted people to think it was a true story, so more people would go see the movie. It was also a bit of a joke on their part, to see if people would believe it was real. This is not an unheard-of tactic: for example, the 1999 movie the Blair Witch Project was also touted as a true story by the filmmakers, when in truth it is completely fictional and all the actors in it are alive and well to this day. The disclaimer at the beginning of the 1996 movie Fargo also asserts that it is a true story, when it is actually pure fiction.

The idea for the Leatherface character was inspired by the serial killer Ed Gein (see below). The director, Tobe Hooper, got the idea for the Leatherface character from the real case of the serial killer Ed Gein. The rest is completely fictional.

Ed Gein was only one man; he did not belong to a family of chainsaw murderers, and he lived in Wisconsin, not Texas.

Ed Gein murdered at least two women, one of whom was found hanging disemboweled and decapitated in his house, and also allegedly engaged in necrophilia and cannibalism with his victims' corpses. He did not, however, murder them with a chainsaw.

All fiction 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.

No the Texas Chainsaw Massacre is not real. Some say Tobe Hooper based this movie on Ed Gein but Tobe has stated the idea first came to him when he saw a group of Texans standing around the chainsaw section in hardware store.

Answer 2

It is a fundamental principle of Biology that Life does not arise from Nonlife. animals, plants, and humans reproduce in various forms. an inanimate object such as the Chucky doll assuming life-like characterisitics is flatly Impossible. Even Disney, master of the plausible impossible, as he called it, rarely went this far. ( Pinocchio, in Disney format, was a cartoon). In a more positive vein , getting a mannequin based on a famous actress to come to life would be equally impossible.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre was loosely based on the killer Ed Gein. Look him up, you might learn something.
