No. Although Tobe Hooper got the idea for the Leatherface character from the real life serial killer, Ed Gein, Leatherface is still a fictional character. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Movies are NOT based on a true story. See the Related Question below.

No, the character of Leatherface shown in the movie The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is not a real person. He is fictional.

However he was roughly inspired by the real serial killer Ed Gein; all though Ed Gein never chased people around with a chainsaw.

No, but the seeds for the idea of the character wearing the face come from a real serial killer-Ed Gein.

Is leather face in A Texas Chainsaw Massacre based on a real person?

No, there was never an actual Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Leather Face was loosely based on a man named Ed Gein. A Wisconsin man that in the 1950's murdered a few women and used their body parts to make furniture and other household items. His story also inspired Psycho and The Silence of The Lambs and the movie Ed Gein. Toby Hooper and Kim Henkle wrote the story of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre using bits of info from the Ed Gein story, they added a chainsaw in to make it add to the story a bit scarier. On a personal note: I lived in Texas as a child and I grew up being told that the Texas Chainsaw Massacre was a true story. I was told this by many family members and still till this day my papa swears it's a true story. Sorry to burst your bubble pops, it's not a true story.
