What the hell? Are you serious? lol

From reading your post here, it would seem that you might actually think this is some sort of documentary or something. None of it is 'real'. It's just actors playing roles.

The bulk of it never happened. Details were borrowed from real events and a story was built around them. (See my previous post regarding reading the link before posting.)

No, the grandpa character wasn't dead, (Neither was the actor that played him.) he's just old and decripate. If he was dead, he wouldn't be able to hit her with the hammer, he'd just be laying there rotting.

None of it is true.

That was an interesting link posted earlier. Most of the information can also be obtained from watching the features included in the DVD.

Including some very interesting commentary from Gunnar Hansen et. al. during the supper scene.

In addition to all the information about the Tobe Hooper's fantasy about the chainsaw and hearing stories about Ed Gein as a child, he also thought that a story based around the backwater towns of Texas would be an interesting idea. He said something along the lines of:

You never know what these kinds of people are capable of...

its completely true .. all of it.
it was filmed in dcumentary fashion with a filmcrew following the action around.

the same goes for the sequels and the remake .... all true !


same with the hills have eyes, hellraiser, and evil dead.
each one of them was filmed live.

And that's not the actor, Matthew McConaughey, in TCM: Next Generation with the bionic leg. That's just some guy with a real bionic leg that kinda looks like him.
