Director Tobe Hooper was inspired by the graphic way the news covered the arrest of serial killer Elmer Wayne Henley in 1973-as well as the televised coverage of the Vietnam War. One of the things that’s cool about the original film is that it opens with a crawl that resembles a documentary or news report, which frames it as if it were a true story. One notable member of the cannibalistic fam is Leatherface, whose preferred method of killing is with a chain saw. Delightful! If you’ve already seen the film-which you should if your interests include being emotionally traumatized-then you know it’s about a group of friends who are preyed on by a family of cannibals in the middle of nowhere.
The bad news is that the movie is most definitely based on a real-life murderer. The good news is that The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is technically fictional.
With a new Texas Chainsaw Massacre film starring Elsie Fisher coming to Netflix literally today, Leatherface fans are looking back at the franchise that began in 1974.
