In fact, "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" (19) shares company with Hitchcock's "Psycho" (1960), and five-time Academy award winner "The Silence of the Lambs" (1991).įor those yet to see the "re-imagining" of Tobe Hooper's "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre," starring Jessica Biel, or witness the low-budget mastery of the original, the basic plot follows a group of scantily clad teens that unwittingly stumble into the worst place at the worst possible time and spend the remainder of the film running for their lives from a large chainsaw-brandishing psychopath.Īnd, if his weapon of choice was not enough to send movie patrons jumping, his choice of attire will always do the trick. The details of the Gein case have inspired and been exploited in some of the best horror films Hollywood has to offer. And, while they did not find Gein at home that day, the police did locate the bodies of the women who had been missing from town, as well as parts of more than 40 other dismembered bodies, victims of recent grave robbing and other unimaginable horrors.Ī further search of the house revealed an entire "woman suit" crafted together from the flesh of many of Gein's victims, a little something Gein fashioned to wear around the house.
That infamous tip led police to the home of local odd-job man Ed Gein, the only surviving member of the Gein birthright. In 1957, after the disappearance of two local women, a group of Plainfield police followed a tip that would ultimately lead to one of Wisconsin's most gruesome tales and one of Hollywood's greatest inspirations. However, what is less well-known is that the inspiration for this haunting classic can be traced a lot closer to home than some Wisconsinites may care to remember. And as these film buffs may know, the recently released "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" is a remake of the 1974 classic of the same name. With Halloween on its way, those looking for a good scare might find themselves once again in the horror aisle of their local video provider.
