I saw Texas Chainsaw Massacre and the Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning movies. Im starting to wonder, how much of this is real and whats not. Ive already checked all of Yahoo Answers and read that the Ed Gein guy worked alone and that he really only killed 2 people, mutilated only 1.
If you can, can you leave me a short answer in order of the following questions?:
-How many people did he really kill?
-Does the house still exist? Still Standing?
-Did he commit these acts alone?
-Mutilation of the victims?
-The cutting of the faces to replace his? (i made a rhymesy yea!)
-Was he really born with a disease or deformity?
-How did he get the victims? He knew them? They showed up at his house or what?
-Did he really work in the meat factory?
-What happened with his family? Did he have one?
-Did they find this guy, killed him or what?
Please, leave any other info that you know after the short answers list, anything else i didnt ask and facts that should be known. thks

1. 15 female bodies were found in is house (he had made many into furniture..lampshades..purses) he admitted to killing 2 women..and was suspected for 4 other murders
2. The house used in the movie is now a gas station
3. Yes he committed the acts alone.
4. All of his victims were found brutally mutilated
5.Yes he actually made an entire body suit including face stomach arms..etc
6.Never heard of him having a disease
7. From what I heard he knew the victims they lived in the same town. I'm guessing the just showed up at his house.
8. Ed ran his family's farm
9. His mother and brother died..he later dug up his mother.
10. They did catch him and he was declared insane and sent to a mental health institute.
His mother always told him that sex was bad. He slaughterd women with a meat hook. Most of the women were around his mothers age like 50 +. Texas Chainsaw Massacre..psycho..and silence of the lambs are based off of ed gein. Ed Gein was also cannibalistic and only ate certain parts of certain women.
Hope i answerd your question...there is also a ed gein movie..not a great movie..but still interesting.

Gein worked alone. He killed his brother and only one other woman that I remember, from which he did make a skin that he wore. The one woman that I know he killed worked at a local store. He shot her and took her back to his farm. It took her some time to die. Gein died in prison.
But I know more about the Texas Chainsaw Massacre than Ed Gein. The movie was a work of cinematic fiction produced by students of the Texas State University film and drama departments. That's what made it one of the classics. The film ruined the career of Marylin Burns (who played the screaming blonde that was the only survivior). With that on her resume she got one commercial part and a short piece as one of Charles Manson's "family" in the movie Helter Skelter. She ended up working for the phone company in her home town, Houston.

That movie was based (in part) about Ed Gein the serial killer/weirdo. He admitted to 2 murders, but he robbed graves for the body parts he made things out of them. Used skin on chairs as upholstery, used skin as lampshades, used sawed heads as eating bowls, used other body parts as jewelry, like the necklace of nipples on a string. He had some body parts on the wall as art. This dude was a total sicko. He used a chainsaw to gut and cut up bodies so that factored in the making of the movie, with the rest being in the imagination of Tobe Hooper the film's creator. It actually took place in Wisconsin, not Texas.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre is total fiction, inspired by Ed Gein. This is according to the director Tobe Hooper.

my mom told me once that when we lived in lubbock, tx about 20 years ago, she heard about a small town that was famous for its chili, and later it was discovered that there were human parts in the chili. not sure if its true, maybe it was just some good ole texan folklore, but i don't eat at hole-in-the-wall's no more!
