Does anybody have pics of the real Leatherface, Teaxas Chainsaw Massacre, Thomas Hewitt?

Question

it would be really to cool and scary to see one

Answer 1

Thomas Hewitt AKA Leatherface is a fictional character. However, the Thomas Hewitt character is very loosely tied to the actions of Wisconsin serial killer Ed Gein.


So it would be cool to see one, considering he wasn't a real person.



It was Gein's fascination with his dead mother and with dead bodies that provided the inspiration for a whole series of literary and movie monsters, most notably Thomas Hewitt or Leatherface in Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Norman Bates in Psycho, and the Buffalo Bill character found in The Silence of the Lambs.

Whether from the bodies of people he killed or dug up from the graveyard, Ed Gein filled his home with such things as human skin lampshades and a necklace of human lips. He also fashioned complete costumes from human skin and body parts to include dead skin masks (no doubt the inspiration for Leatherface). Known to sometimes dress up like women or impersonate his mother, perhaps that was the inspiration for the cross-dressing version of Thomas Hewitt / Leatherface of the 1994/1997 The Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Although bits of the life and crimes of Ed Gein are seen in Thomas Hewitt, Hewitt is a fictional character from a movie - not a real person. And the events of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre are a work of fiction as well, not a true story.

The last answer is the best one, but just to add a little info. In some of the TCM sequels, the family is named "Sawyer" not "Hewitt". Only in the recent remakes did the "Hewitt" name get used.
