5. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is loosely based on the crimes of Ed Gein, a notorious serial killer and body snatcher. Although the movie itself does not seem to be an adaptation of Gein's story, its terrifying presentation of cannibalistic behaviour and gruesome murder echoes the macabre acts committed by Gein in the 1950s. Leatherface's murders in the film are highly monstrous and reflect the grotesque practices of Gein.
