Kathy, there is a female poster that frequents this site who has been reading "Parade" magazine ad nauseum, and thinks she's Marilyn Vos Savant, the high I.Q. lady who knows all the answers to all the questions on every subject. So to whatever answers you are given in this forum, please take with a grain of salt, unless they can back it up with credible sources.
So, for my answer, and it is only what I have been told secondhanded from a supposedly read newspaper article, it did indeed take place, albeit many years ago, as the original "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" came out in, I believe, late 1970's early 1980's. And as some of the other posters pointed out, I'm sure there was a good deal of dramatic license added in for effect.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre was loosely based on a real life man named Eddie Gein. I won't go into all the gory details here but you can learn the whole story here:

Just scroll down the list until you get to his name. Don't blame me if you have nightmares though. ;-)

No. It's a combination of many different real life killers combined with creative license to make a fictional story.
