The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is a horror film from 1974, directed by Tobe Hooper.
It follows the story of a group of friends who are on their way to visit a farmhouse,
fall victim to a family of cannibals.
The antagonist is a sadistic serial murderer, known as Leatherface.
Leatherface wears masks made from human skin.
If you're a fan of the texas chainsaw massacre, you know that the story was inspired by true
events.
Leatherface, was inspired by real life serial killer Ed Gein.
But there were some major differences between Ed Gein and Leatherface, making the character
far more sinister.
So on that note, lifes biggest questions asks, what if leatherface was real?
Welcome back to life's biggest questions.

Lets start by talking about the real Leatherface.
Ed Gein, also known as the butcher of Plainfield was a Wisconsin farmer.
He studied the experiments the Nazis carried out in concentration camps.
He would dig up graves and remove female corpses.
He engaged in necrophilia as well as cannibalism, and killed at least 2 women in the 1950's.
In Geins Farmhouse, Police found a total of 15 different female mutilated bodies, that
had been made into strange objects, Including purses, bowls, drums, masks, leggings, lampshades
and shirts.
This was replicated in the film The Texas chainsaw Massacre.
Gein also really did wear a mask made from human skin.
However, It was confirmed that most of the bodies in his farmhouse were already dead
when Gein dug them up and mutilated them.
The major difference between Ed Gein and Leatherface, is that Ed Gein was considered far more of
a grave robber than the murderer from texas chainsaw massacre.
Not to mention, he definitely didn't hang out in rural texas chopping people up with
a chainsaw.
Ed gein had never even been to Texas.
So what if there really was a psycho cannibalistic murderer hiding out in texas, chopping up
people with chainsaws while wearing masks made from human faces?
Well the scary thing is, there are a lot of rural areas in texas that are not frequented
by the general public.
We've all been on road trips before where we take a wrong turn and end up in the middle
of nowhere.
Who's to say that there isn't a chainsaw murderer out there that preys on lost travellers?
There have been several known murderers over the years who have used chainsaw to assist
their murders, that we know of.
Noe Gerado Morin was arrested in 2011 for using a chainsaw to chop up his best friend
Marlon Thomas.
Max Bernard Frank used a chainsaw to chop up a male prostitute after he had murdered
him in 1987.
When He tried to return the chainsaw, there were still bits of blood and flesh inside
the inner workings.
A chainsaw is almost always used to make the corpse easier to dispose by chopping it up.
But there are some murderers who did use a chainsaw as their weapon of choice.
Isis famously executed a group of 9 young people with chainsaws in 2016.
In 2015, Manuela Rodriguez killed her seven month old granddaughter with a power saw.
Robert Owens murdered his own mother with a chainsaw in 2016.
So then, what if leatherface was real?
If there really was a murderer hiding out in the middle of nowhere in texas, they wouldn't
get away with it for very long.
Its definitely not 1974 anymore, the year that the texas chainsaw massacre came out.
Even the remake came out in 2003, a time where cell phones were not as advanced.
Today's technology would prevent him from carrying out his murders unnoticed.
Everyone has a phone now, and almost all of those phones can be traced.
People almost certainly keep in touch with loved ones when they go on road trips.
Leather face also did not dispose of his victims, he made decorations out of them.
Meaning, he had evidence scattered all over his house.
All the more easy to convict him, if he's ever found.
Smart murderers don't leave evidence lying around, and they definitely don't make lampshades
out of it.
On that note, being a smart murderer also means choosing a weapon that's a little
easier to handle.
As scary as a chainsaw is, its not the easiest murder weapon to hoist around.
They are pretty darn heavy, and they also need to be revved up, making them a difficult
weapon of choice.
Scary, yes.
Effective…not so much.
At the end the original film, Leatherface cuts himself in the leg with his own chainsaw,
allowing his Sally to get away.
In the remake, the protagonist Erin Hardesty cuts off leatherface's chainsaw wielding
arm with a meat cleaver.
So a chainsaw wielding murderer is scary in theory, but in reality, when chainsaws are
used to help commit murder, they are mostly only used to chop up the body after the victim
is already dead so its easier to hide.
