yes there is
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?
nobody really knows except the people tht wuz there
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.
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.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre was loosely based on the story of Ed Gein who was a killer in the 70's and had heads and other organs in his house and shed and a lamp shade made out of human skin
Is this a question, like of course it's not real.

Leatherface of course, but I also really like Sheriff Hoyt from the remake, he's insane and creepy but a brilliant character.

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.
This is a difficult question but I'll give it a shot. well if you saw the Texas chainsaw massacre the beginning it explains more than any of the others in the series. The small town where the killers live their meat factory closes down for like unsanitary conditions so they start killing people and eating them. T.T.C.M. the beginning is more depressing and disturbing than scary. still worth watching.
With an axe and a chainsaw like anyone else.
Leather Face was a fictional character from the movie "A Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and was not a real person. In the original movie, he is in the very last shot, throwing his chainsaw around in a manic frenzy, and is not killed. He was however, based on a real person, in part, who was a famous serial killer; Ed Gein, who is dead.
Mestizos in Texas are just like everyone else in Texas.
