Did the “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” really happen?
Where can I find the court records,and what happened to the real life “Leatherface”?
Don’t tell me it was Ed Gein,because that was Wisconsin,Im talking about Texas.
Kathy, there is a female poster that frequents this site who has been reading “Parade” magazine ad nauseum, and thinks she’s Marilyn Vos Savant, the high I.Q. lady who knows all the answers to all the questions on every subject. So to whatever answers you are given in this forum, please take with a grain of salt, unless they can back it up with credible sources.
So, for my answer, and it is only what I have been told secondhanded from a supposedly read newspaper article, it did indeed take place, albeit many years ago, as the original “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” came out in, I believe, late 1970’s early 1980’s. And as some of the other posters pointed out, I’m sure there was a good deal of dramatic license added in for effect.
