was the Texas Chainsaw Massacre real or was it fake?? Everything on the net says its not real that its fake.?

Answer 1

Well its based on a real person however what he did was greatly exaggerated by the movie.

Answer 2

How much of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is based on the real life murderer Ed Gein?

Despite being heavily touted as "inspired by a true story," both Tobe Hooper's original 1974 film and the 2003 Marcus Nispel remake are only lightly based on the real-life murderer Ed Gein, who is suspected to have taken several victims between 1954 and 1957. Perhaps the most recognizable similarity is the film's house, whose gruesome content was similar to that found in Ed Gein's home (above right) in 1957

Were any other films based on Ed Gein?

Both Norman Bates from Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho (1960) and Buffalo Bill from The Silence of the Lambs (1991) were also loosely based on Ed Gein.
