just to let everyone know.
there were real chainsaw murders in texas, and other places.
no the movie was not based off these murders.
there was a real person named ed gein and the movies are loosely based of him.
i mean very loosely.the part were he takes the faces is based on him but not for the same reason. ed took the faces and other body parts to wear so he looked like a woman.
people think the chainsaw murders inspired the movie, but it didn't.
