Well, being yellow I've always thought McCulloch. I'm not sure of the exact model though.

EDIT by mtdew94: It looks to be a Homelite XL completely painted yellow. The bar seems to be 14". They must've painted over the brand name for copyright issues.

Where was The Texas Chainsaw Massacre killer caught?

Leatherface is a fictional character.The Texas Chainsaw Massacre never happened in real life. Despite the disclaimer at the beginning of the original film, which touts the movie as "...an account of a tragedy which befell a group of five youths...For them an idyllic summer afternoon drive became a nightmare...This video cassette is based on a true incident and is definitely not for the squeamish..." in truth The Texas Chainsaw Massacre was not really based on a true story.The filmmakers just wanted people to think it was a true story, so more people would go see the movie. It was also a bit of a joke on their part, to see if people would believe it was real. This is not an unheard-of tactic: for example, the 1999 movie the Blair Witch Project was also touted as a true story by the filmmakers, when in truth it is completely fictional and all the actors in it are alive and well to this day. The disclaimer at the beginning of the 1996 movie Fargo also asserts that it is a true story, when it is actually pure fiction.The Texas Chainsaw Massacre was inspired by a true story, which is a long way away from being based on a true story. The truth is that the director, Tobe Hooper, got the idea for the Leatherface character from the real case of the serial killer Ed Gein. The rest is completely fictional. Ed Gein was only one man; he did not belong to a family of chainsaw murderers, and he lived in Wisconsin, not Texas.Ed Gein murdered at least two women, one of whom was found hanging disemboweled and decapitated in his house, and also allegedly engaged in necrophilia and cannibalism with his victims' corpses. He did not, however, murder them with a chainsaw.I have included a link to the snopes.com page about the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I have also included a link to a page that compares the Ed Gein murders to the movie.


What is the killer's name from saw?

There is no "real" person from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a fictional story, and Leatherface (who was played by Gunnar Hansen in the original 1973 film) is a fictional character.The moviemakers got the idea for the Leatherface character from the serial killer Ed Gein. That doesn't mean the movie is based on a true story. Just because a writer gets an idea for a story from real life, doesn't mean the story is based on the truth.A book/movie that is "based on a true story" is one that strives to portray the truth as accurately as possible. No such attempt was made with The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Absolutely everything about it is fiction, except for two, possibly three things: Ed Gein wore the skin of his victims, gutted them and hung them up in his house, and MAY have eaten some of their remains.See the Related Question below for more details.


Were all the deaths in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre real?

No, it's a pure work of fiction. Despite the disclaimer at the beginning of the movie that it's based on a real story, this is itself a fiction, designed to make it look like it's a drama-documentary and probably used as a ploy to get more people to go and see the film.The movie, along with Psycho which was released in 1960, was based upon the case of Winsconsin farmer Ed Gein, a psychotic maniac who was convicted of murdering two women in 1954 and '57, was suspected of killing three more whose remains were never found, and who exhumed the bodies of other people from local graveyards in order to make clothing and keepsakes from their bones and skin- one such was his own mother Augusta. He ate some of his victim's body parts, kept their bones and other remains around his house, and kept their disembowelled torso's hanging in one of his outhouses. But he didn't use a chainsaw to kill them, he shot them instead with a .22 calibre rifle. Gein died in a Madison mental hospital in July 1984 aged 77, of a heart attack brought on by cancer.But no 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre' ever happened in real life.

Number of people who died during the Texas revolution?

Sorry, there is/was no such person as "Leatherface", nor was there ever a real Texas Chainsaw Massacre in Texas or any other location in the world for that matter.The story is VERY LOOSELY based upon Ed Gein, a man from Plainfield, Wisconsin in the 1950's, who murdered only a few women and used parts of their bodies for clothing and furniture. There wasn't even a chainsaw involved in the murders. Ed's story inspired many fictional stories and movies including Psycho, Silence of the Lambs, the movie Ed Gein, Three on a Meathook, Deranged, and several others. He was eventually caught and put in a mental institution in Wisconsin. He never entered the Texas justice system as thought by many. Gein never even visited Texas in his life. He died in Wisconsin in 1984 in a mental institution of natural causes.The story of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is an original idea created by Tobe Hooper and Kim Henkel in 1973. Tobe knew of the story of Ed Gein and incorporated his idea of using a chainsaw to create the Leatherface character. If there ever was any "chainsaw massacre" of any kind, anywhere, it is totally unrelated, completely coincidental and had no bearing or impact on Tobe Hooper and Kim Henkel's creative process during the production of their 1974 film.The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a HUGE urban legend known by many people around the world. If your friend or family member swears that it happened, or they personally knew Leatherface in prison, etc., they're not alone. They're either lying or they themselves have been lied to.However in the Movie's:5 People are killed in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)7 People are killed in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986)6 People are killed in Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III (1990)4 People are killed in Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1994)5 People are killed in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)6 People are killed in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning (2006)


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.
