The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. It was remade a couple years ago with the same name.

I assume you must be referring to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. No, it is not a real event. It was based roughly on the real life serial killer Ed Gein, but Ed never killed anyone with a chainsaw.

Well, being yellow I've always thought McCulloch. I'm not sure of the exact model though.

EDIT by mtdew94: It looks to be a Homelite XL completely painted yellow. The bar seems to be 14". They must've painted over the brand name for copyright issues.

If you are referring to the person, Leather Face, then no. It was not a real person. The story and family was loosely based off of the famous Serial Killer, Ed Gein. He did have some masks made of human flesh, however the story of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre was made up so this chainsaw wielding masked murderer was not in jail...or any jail in all for he is not real.

after waching chucky in real life 2 boys took a little boy up to a train track and beat him up (gave him bruses that kind of beating) so badly to Make it look like he had been hit by the train the little boy died by being so badly hurt he was a little boy i mean really little and the 2 boys blamed it on chucky or waching chucky gave them the idea so thay banned chucky

what a stupid thing to do blame it on chucky ITS NOT REAL KEEP IT IN MIND X

The "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" never happened in reality, and is probably one of the most misunderstood films "based on a true story" ever made, at least in the horror genre. The story was mostly inspired by real life murderer, cannibal, alleged necrophiliac, and grave robber Ed Gein, who lived in an isolated house in Plainsfield, Wisconsin. The real story is far less epic than the film, though highly disturbing nevertheless.

He is the basis for the characters of Leatherface, Norman Bates from 'Psycho', as well as Buffalo Bill from the film 'Silence of the Lambs'. He was a man who dug up graves, stole body parts, organs, and bones which he then in turn made into grizzly works of art. For example, he had bowls made out of human skulls, a belt made of female nipples, chairs and other various furniture adorned with skulls and bones, and I believe he had even upholstered a chair with human flesh. In addition to this, he had an odd sexual fetish of dissecting and collecting the vaginas of dead women as well as he had severed female heads, organs in the fridge, and many other things that were quite revolting.

Throughout his life, Ed was only convicted of killing one local woman, Bernice Worden, which is nowhere near Leatherface's body count. But it was the way in which he did it that made him so infamous on top of having probably the most disturbing house of horrors ever uncovered by law enforcement. He entered her store and bought some antifreeze and then shot her with a rifle which killed her. He was the last customer she had before she went missing, so the police went to his home and looked around and found her headless torso hanging upside down from the rafters of his garage split down the middle like a deer bleeding out. He was doing this with the intention of eating her remains. He is the basis for Leatherface due to the fact that he had several masks made of human flesh and was in the in process of making a female body suit out of stitched together pieces of female flesh (the basis for Buffalo Bill) and he spoke to the ghost of his dead mother whose room he had boarded off so that nothing could get in or out of it (the basis for Norman Bates). There is no indication that he killed Bernice wearing a skinned mask or the suit, so there are no factual killings for the basis of Leatherface and he never used a chainsaw. He died in 1984 in a mental hospital.

Leatherface isn't real. So technically, no. He hasn't.

The killer, Ed Gein, who Leatherface was loosely based off of, has been dead since 1984. So you don't have to worry about him coming after you during the night. ;P

He is where he has always been: inside the minds of moviegoers. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre never happened in real life. See the Related Question.

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.

Despite what the disclaimer at the beginning of the original film says, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre never actually happened. It's a fictional story. The original film came out in 1973. See the Related Question below.

Most likely you will be suspended if not arrested. It can be considered a weapon in that environment because you are not going to cut down a tree.

James Gale played Rothman.

Believe it or not, there never was a real chainsaw massacre, even though at the beginning of the movie they say it's a true story. Gunnar Hansen (Leatherface) pointed this out in the commentary of the DVD. He says that if you notice, it says the killings took place in the summer of 1972, and this was the exact time they were FILMING the movie. However, Tobe Hooper did base this loosely around storys he had heard of Ed Gein when he was younger.
