#The texas chain saw massacre real movie#
In terms of the title that appears at the beginning of the movie saying that “the film you are about to see is true,” while that may not align exactly with the facts of the various real-life serial killers and crazed shoppers that served as the inspiration for the movie we’ve examined thus far, there is much to be said about the movie’s metaphorical “truth” in its reflection of social commentary at the time. The actor covered his head and hoped for the best when the saw landed just a few inches away from him. While the teeth of the tool were removed for some shots, there were nevertheless some close calls posing a real danger to cast members, at times, including a harrowing incident in which the active saw slipped from Hansen’s hands when he tripped, sending it flying in a dark scene in the woods. Speaking of chainsaws, it’s likely at least some level of the visceral reactions from the actors in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre had an underlying basis in reality since actor Hansen used a real chainsaw in the movie - albeit with a piece of tape covering its brand name - the Poulan 306a.

He was a young man who recruited victims for an older homosexual man. “But I also noticed a murder case in Houston at the time, a serial murderer you probably remember named Elmer Wayne Henley. “I definitely studied Gein,” Henkel said. The real-life model for terrifying horror movie psychos like Leatherface, Buffalo Bill, and Norman Bates was a man named Ed Gein, whose actual exploits were even more shocking than the movie plots they inspired. While the 28th victim of the so-called Houston Mass Murders wasn’t identified until 2018, police and a search team in the Houston area were still active in trying to track down the remains of other possible victims just last month, according to KHOU. A new Texas Chainsaw Massacre released on Netflix has revived interest in the backstory as the film remains one of the most influential horror movies of all time. Henley and David Owen Brooks were both teenage accomplices working with Dean Corll, who together abducted, tortured, raped, and murdered at least 28 teenage boys and young male victims between 19. THE Texas Chainsaw Massacre is based on the true story of psycho Ed Gein, who flayed his victims and made furniture with their skin.
While Gein was undoubtedly an influence on the film, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre co-writer Kim Henkel said in an article with Texas Monthly that another serial killer based in Texas, Elmer Wayne Henley, also inspired the story. The opening scroll of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 tells us that, while the Texas Chainsaw Massacre never officially happened (at least according to state authorities), it also didn’t ever stop.
