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.
When did The Texas Chainsaw Massacre come out?
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a movie, it is an inanimate object. Therefor it has never been alive, and cannot die. If you are asking 'when did Leatherface die?', he is a fictional character. He has never been alive either.
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 :)
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.

What is the plot of the movie The Texas Chainsaw Massacre?

The workshed beside the cabin.
Was leather face based on a true story?
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.
