Both the original 1974 movie by Tobe Hooper and the 2003 remake by Marcus Nispel are lightly based on the real-life murderer Ed Gein. He is suspected to have taken several victims between 1954 and 1957.
The Texas Chainsaw House is located in Kingsland, Texas, on the grounds of the Antlers Hotel. The Victorian house was featured prominently in the 1974 movie. It was the home of Leatherface and his cannibalistic family.
