Although a work of fiction, Tobe Hooper directed The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, inspired by true crimes committed by Wisconsin Killer Ed Gein who even fashioned household items out of human remains. The movie will introduce Leatherface as a murderer wielding a chainsaw amongst his equally demented family. It is known for the gory realism and suspense held within it and completely revived the horror genre. Despite its limited budget, the film became a cultural phenomenon, and its sequels, remakes, and spin-offs are legion.
