umm it's not REALLY a true story, dude. originally, they weren't as strict on false advertising when it came out, so they could use "based on a true story"... this time they used "inspired by a true story", which although sounding similar, is not the same thing.
the idea of leatherface is actually based on eddie gein, who was also the inspiration for norman bates from psycho and buffalo bill from the silence of the lambs. you can read about him at <a href=http://www.crimelibrary.com/gein/geinmain.htm>crimelibrary.com</a>. although he had some similar behaviours, he did not, believe it or not, chase young people around with chainsaws.
was texas chainsaw massacre (both of them) scary as fuck? yeah. was it a true story? oh god no.
p.s.-the worst bit for me was when he hung that dude up on the meathook, and then rubbed salt into his stump. :: eek!!! ::
and, of course, the main character having the same name as me in this one i was like... no! no killing erins! not allowed!!

have you seen the original??
i think the original was more subtle, and leatherface himself, plus his family (the finger sucking scene - eeek!) were much scarier... but this year's one , i dunno, it freakedme out more... actually, i think that's the best way to put it. the original scared me, the new one freaked me out.
random tidbit... i saw a review for texas chainsaw massacre 2... it was listed as a (black) comedy haha

yeah man i saw it when it came out, and i tell ya, it was SHIT SCARY! LOL, im a girl, so u guys might have different opinions
its not a true story.. the real life dude was caught and was jailed i think.. the real dude had a fetish for female genitals, he would go out and kill females, kill em, remove their bits, pet them and wear it round the house and stuff.. i read bout it somewhere dont know where...

bubz :D
the last laugh
probably the scariest movie i've seen. and i don' tusually get very scared in horror movies. i spent most of the hour & a half with my head buried behind my friend's shoulder. i screamed out loud twice. i also missed out on most of the gory bits [including the part where he hooked the guy up, aaaargh] coz my eyes were shut & i had my hands over ears, which didn't do much LOL
yeah, the chainsaw wasn't even part of the true story XD
hahaha that night i was so freaked out it wasn't funny lol, i had to wake my sister up and i slept in her bed. can't believe i was so freaked out by it

yeh with the baby me and my friend thought it was the chick from the beginning (hence why she was bleeding from below.. she just gave birth.. and had the ability to stick a gun up there) but the baby was a bit old to have been born at the beginning of the movie..
