Quoted from crujones4life:Greatest horror movie of all time.
This movie was based on and totally portrayed on the life of ED Gein. And the truth of the matter was, he never used a chainsaw for chopping up his victims,
& his house was in the Plainfield/ La Crosse area of Wisconsin not Texas.
Gein served as the inspiration for myriad fictional serial killers, most notably Norman Bates (Psycho), Leatherface (The Texas Chain Saw Massacre), Buffalo Bill (The Silence of the Lambs) and the character Dr. Oliver Thredson in the TV series American Horror Story: Asylum.
