Not a true story but it was ispired by the Ed Gein murders, who use to make lampshades and clothes out of his victims skin.

I BELIEVE THE MAIN CHARACTER IN THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE WAS BASED ON A SERIAL KILLER NAMED ED GEIN WHO LIVED IN WISCONSIN. IF YOU WANT TO READ A TRUE HORROR STORY, FIND THE FINAL TRUTH: AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A SERIAL KILLER. THIS IS BASED ON THE LIFE AND MURDERS COMMITTED BY PEE WEE GASKINS OF SOUTH CAROLINA.

No its not. Look it up online. I live in Texas, been here my whole life. It was filmed out here, and was just a scary story....no truth to it. Check out this website:

It is my understanding that it was a true story and they have never caught the people who did it. Kind of real scary, huh!

Yes, if you watch the movie it will tell you at the atart of it and on DVD you can read the BIO about it.
