Was The Texas Chainsaw Massacre in jail at the Huntsville unit?

Answer 1

If you are referring to the person, Leather Face, then no. It was not a real person. The story and family was loosely based off of the famous Serial Killer, Ed Gein. He did have some masks made of human flesh, however the story of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre was made up so this chainsaw wielding masked murderer was not in jail...or any jail in all for he is not real.

Answer 2

"The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" is a Horror film directed by Tobe Hooper, released in 1974. The film is not a real person and therefore cannot be in jail at the Huntsville unit or any other correctional facility. The title refers to the fictional character Leatherface, a chainsaw-wielding killer in the movie.

Answer 3

If you're talking about the real life person the film was (very) loosely based or inspired by -he died in prison in 1984. His name was Ed Gein (rhymes with Ween) and he was also the inspiration for Alfred Hitchock's classic Psycho. I think he also "inspired" one or two lesser known films. Peace, peace, out, out.

Answer 4

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is not a person, it is a movie. If you are asking 'is Leatherface in jail?' No, in the movie because he was never caught. And no in real life because he does not exist.

However the movie The Texas Chainsaw massacre is based loosely on the serial killer Ed Gein who passed away on July 26th, 1984.

Answer 5
