Despite being heavily touted as "inspired by a true story," both Tobe Hooper's original 1974 film and the 2003 Marcus Nispel remake are only lightly based on the real-life murderer Ed Gein, who is suspected to have taken several victims between 1954 and 1957. Perhaps the most recognizable similarity is the film's house, whose gruesome content was similar to that found in Ed Gein's home (above right) in 1957.

Latest Complete News Updates Texas Chain Saw Massacre is an independent 1974 American horror film directed by Mr. Tobe Hooper and written jointly by Mr. Tobe Hooper and Mr. Kim Henkel. Many people wonder what actually happened and if the Texas Chainsaw Massacre True Story was well, actually a true story. So where does fact and fiction find a common ground? The original horror film ‘Texas Chainsaw Massacre’ freaked theater goers out and became a cult phenomenon. A recent remake also kept the story of ‘Leatherface’ on the map and to this day the storyline is one of the most popular horror films of all time.

Is the Texas Chainsaw Massacre a true story?

Yes and no..but i prefer to think it's not a true story..
The movie thing never happened...there was never a man running around with a chainsaw and going to a house full of rednecks and who pretended to be a sheriff etc.
There was a man in fact named ED GEIN who would kill people and cut off there faces and wear it (sometimes having sex with the dead bodies) but he never had a family that helped him. He wasn't huge, just normal size. They based Leather face off him and also Hannibal Lecture..What do you think???
