The REAL Texas Chainsaw killer was a man called Ed Gein.
The movie Silene of the Lambs was also based on him, as he wore human skin as a mask It's been proven that he did wear skin and he had chainsaws and other horrific things in his house. ALTHOUGH the crimes did not take place in Texas at all, they took place in Wisconsin.
When police went to his house, they went into a shed and found corpse of a woman who was torn apart like a butchery store and several other "gutted" bodies. They found heads of humans as bed posts, skin used on chairs amost like a human leather couch, a coat made up of genitals, and a belt made from something I will not mention as it is disgusting to even type out.
I don't know how to describe the guy? Sick? Twisted? It's beyond beilief what that freak of nature did, but it did happen as police records prove it.
Edward Gein died in 1984.
Here is the article on Wikipedia:

YES!!! I can't believe it either. It is based on a true story. Two cops went into the house looking for the guy and they had a video camera. They caught him on tape, but the cops were killed by him. It is very scary, but I doubt that he is still alive. He might though because they never found him. I wouldn't count on it so theres no need to worry.

it is based on a true story...don't remember the guys name but i looked into it when the movie came out a few years ago some weirdo guy freaked out when his mother died so he used to kill people and make things out of their skin...belts and lampshades and things like that....it didn't happen in texas though and the man responisble was arrested and has since passed away...so no worries

I believe it's based on a sociopathic killer from Wisconsin, actually. I forget his name, but I seem to remember him being pretty old when it happened, so he's probably dead by now
That's not to say his tormented spirit won't come up from hell to murder you in your sleep some night. Who knows?

Yes, it's true. He lives in your neighborhood. You might have seen him, late at night.
