Do You ever know what is going on in Texas these days?
I just watched the Texas Chainsaw Massacre True Story movie for the third time with my sister, I watch the movie when I wrote a song with my guitar ,and she babbled something that the Massacre is a true story(according to my sister). I happened to be intrigued and just wanted to know if that is true, that the Texas Chainsaw Massacre once happened somewhere in the Earth.
Believe it or not, until these days, this story still become a LEGEND. No one knows exactly about them!
This is one article that I found about this "legend" :
Is the Texas Chainsaw Massacre based on a true story? |
Answer
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre never happened in real life. 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 is, it was not really based on a true story.
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, but the entire storyline for story is fictional. The truth is that 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.
I have also included a link to a page that compares the Ed Gein murders to the movie. ( See Above)
