I can't believe that people still get sucked in by the whole "based on true events" garbage. They can put that at the beginning of every single movie ever made. How's that? OK. Take Pitch Black for example. Think they can't put "based on true events" at the beginning? Wrong. They can because I'm pretty sure that at some point in history at least one guy has used a really sharp knife to shave his head. Oh sure the whole intergalactic murderer crash landing on a planet inhabited by carnivorous aliens probably never happened, but that's just there to spice up the head shaving.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a great example. There was no cannibalistic family in the desert with a guy in a human skin mask chopping people up with a chainsaw. There did happen to be a guy that made masks and whatnot out of human skin though. So technically they were right, TCM was based on true events. People just couldn't realize that 99.9% of the events in the film weren't.
