However, its content is based on a real thing ~

The event it is based on is the work of a serial killer named Ed Gein (also known as "the butcher of Plain Town"). ...

The butcher in Pingyuan Town has been arrested and has been dead for many years, so "texas chainsaw massacre, Texas, Texas" is just a movie based on an example, not a real person. About the ending of the film: "The murderer has never been caught, and the case is pending", which is just a way for the film to show off its mystery ~ ~

Edward Gein should be the most popular serial killer in Hollywood at present. Movies based on his events include Psycho, The Silence of the Lambs and texas chainsaw massacre, Texas.

Edward Gein incident.

In fact, in real life, Edward Gein is quite quiet, introverted and shy, and only two people have been killed by him. Compared with other serial killers such as Ted Band-Aids, his performance is absolutely inferior. However, during his crime (1950s), the folk customs were still very conservative, and the act of stealing corpses was appalling, which made him a serial killer through the ages.

Born in 1906, when he was a child, his family moved to plain Field, Wisconsin. His father is an alcoholic farmer, his mother is an extremely strict and devout believer, and he has a brother.

Their family has a small farm in a very remote country. In other words, it is so secretive that no stranger often visits it. But this farm is very poor, so the Gaines can be said to be marginal people struggling in poor days.

Mother had the greatest influence on Gaines. Later, Gaines committed such a crime, which was almost caused by it ... She was an avid Catholic, giving regular Bible lessons to her sons every day, constantly preaching the importance of believing in God and that sinners would go to hell. At the same time, it is dangerous for her to intimidate her son's woman, and it is immoral to immerse herself in women's sex. She used various methods to stop her son from being interested in the opposite sex. This incident led to Gaine never getting married until he died of old age, and never having sexual relations with women. For the first half of his life, he followed the rules. Besides working on his own farm, he occasionally goes to town to do odd jobs and earn some pocket money. In the eyes of the townspeople, he is a "quiet, eccentric, shy and kind" person.

But the quiet life began to change. First of all, when he was almost thirty, his father died. Later his brother died in a warehouse fire. Finally, his favorite mother died of a stroke in 1945.

In this way, forty-year-old Gaine suddenly found himself alone all his life. He has no relatives, no companions, no wife and children in the world. All he has is a poor farm and an empty life. He is increasingly alienated from the world.

Because the only "woman" in his life was his mother, Gaine admitted afterwards that his mother's death left him at a loss. Every night, he will dress up as his mother and walk around the house, trying to change this favorite woman back. This was used in Hitchcock's film Psycho. )

Finally, dressing up as a mother becomes more and more dissatisfied. In the middle of the night, he began to steal a female corpse in a nearby cemetery. When he got home, he dismembered them. Some corpse fragments, such as breasts and female sexual characteristics, were made into specimens and hung on his bedside as decoration. Peel off the skin and make a woman's leather coat. He often walks around the farm in this pair of women's skins. (This appeared in The Silence of the Lambs and texas chainsaw massacre, Texas, Texas. )

Because his farm was quite secret, these activities lasted for several years without being discovered. But gradually, skinning the dead can no longer satisfy him. He wants fresh stock. ...

One afternoon, the deputy sheriff of Pingyuan Town found his mother in her fifties missing. His mother runs a grocery store in town. On the weekend afternoon, he came back from hunting to pick up his mother, only to see a pool of blood on the ground of the shop, and her figure disappeared without a trace.

There was a shopping list for Gaine on the counter, so the deputy sheriff immediately contacted other policemen and planned to go to Gaine's farm to see if there were any clues about his mother.

The police originally came with the mentality of "asking questions". It never occurred to them that the Gaines Farm, which greeted them, turned into a hellish scene.

As they approached the farm far away, they smelled a strong smell of carrion. Gein's main house was locked, and the owner was not at home, so the police poked around in the tool shed next to it. Unexpectedly, they saw a corpse hanging upside down in mid-air through the gap in the window.

At first, the police were not sure what it was. The head of the corpse has been cut off, the front part has been cut from genitals to neck, the organs have been taken out, and the limbs of the corpse have been hung upside down with hooks. At first glance, the police thought they saw an dissected deer. After seeing it for the second time, they realized that they were facing a human body.

The police turned pale with fear and the whole town panicked.

Then the police arrested Edward Gein. As usual, there was no resistance.

A large number of police marched to the farm for further search, and the result was all kinds of shocking evidence.

The upside-down body is the mother of the deputy sheriff. They found her head and large intestine in a small box and her heart in the dinner plate in the main house. In addition, several bowls with ground heads, a belt with female nipples, "clothes" made of human skin, trash cans and lampshades were found, and several pairs of female vaginas and uterus, a dozen pairs of human scalps with sheaths and various corpse pieces were also found in the kitchen.

After Gein was repaired, he admitted that he had killed another woman, but that was all. All the other body parts were stolen from the grave. The police thought he should be involved in several other murders, but it was never confirmed. Gaine also stressed that he just likes to "dress up" the bodies, and he didn't eat any bodies.

This "quiet and shy" killer shocked American society at that time, and the media named him the butcher of Plain Town.

Finally, Edward Gein was sent to a mental hospital. From beginning to end, he was a gentle and shy patient. He doesn't make noise, he follows the rules. In his seventies, he died of natural aging in the ward.

Marilyn burns, the actor of Sally, was badly scratched by a branch in the jungle when she was chased by texas chainsaw massacre, Texas, so her blood is real.

During the dinner near the end of the film, texas chainsaw massacre, Texas, cut the little girl's finger. This shot is real, because the crew can't fake the effect of blood pouring out of the incision.

This film was only allowed to be shown in Australia in the early 1980s.

According to director Tobe Hooper, the film was inspired by a crowded hardware store. Standing in the shop, he had a whim to rush out of the crowd with a chain saw.

When the movie premiered, the terrible images made many people quit halfway.

John Dugan, who plays the old man, insisted on not repeating the makeup process, so he shot all the scenes at once. During the 36-hour filming, he suffered from the heat wave, when the average temperature reached 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

The film was shot in chronological order.

The chainsaw in the film is Poulan 306A. In order to prevent disputes, the trademark of the chainsaw had to be covered up.

Tobe Hooper, the director, initially hoped that the film would reach the PG level.

1975, the British film censorship banned the film from being shown, and later the Greater London Committee allowed the film to be shown in a small scale in London; From 65438 to 0977, the film was banned again because the censor failed to delete it; Then it was banned in 1984 because the picture was too bloody; It was not until 1999 that the ban was completely lifted without any deletion, and the whole process took 25 years.

This film is funded by the profits of the company's top film Deep Throat.

The original title of this film was changed at the last minute.

In the film, the Sawyer family's residence is indeed inhabited. The family rented the house to the crew and did not leave during the filming.

At the end of the film, human bones are used, because human bone specimens imported from India are cheaper than plastic bones.

Because the character of "texas chainsaw massacre, Texas" is mentally retarded, Gunnar Hansen, the actor who plays him, went to a school for mentally retarded people to observe their actions and words.

Texas chainsaw massacre's teeth in Texas were made for him by a dentist in Gunnar Hansen.

The film once considered using "Headcheese", "Leatherface" and "Stalking Leatherface" as its title.

The scene of the killer sawing his leg was finally filmed. Before filming, the actor's legs were tied with metal plates, which were covered with meat and blood bags.

Sally used body double when she jumped out of the window.

Gunnar Hansen's head often bumps during filming, because the mask affects his vision, and the 3-inch heel makes it difficult for him to adapt.

Edwin Neal, an actor, once said that the experience of making this film was more painful than participating in the Vietnam War. If he sees the director Tobe Hooper again, he may kill him.

This film ranks second in the list of the scariest movies selected by Entertainment Weekly, second only to 1973' s The Exorcist.

Due to the shooting cost, Gunnar Hansen, who plays the killer, has only one costume. In the summer in Texas, this shirt was worn for four weeks and never washed. The smell is so strong that no one wants to sit with him for dinner in the end.

Behind the scenes: the killer's slaughterhouse

Since it is called "texas chainsaw massacre, Texas", it is naturally "produced" in Texas in the vast western United States. The producer also chose the main shooting location of the film in the suburb of Austin, Texas-a very open border. The dilapidated two-story building stands alone in the wilderness, creating an excellent shooting background for the film. Even in the case of sunny noon, the small building still shows full of terror. Not far from the door, put it sideways.

Wearing a weathered bull's head bone, the pale color is even more dazzling under the strong light. In the small building, a spacious room on the first floor looks like an old warehouse. According to the crew, this will be texas chainsaw massacre's kitchen in the film, where the masked man will cook all the game he caught in the wild, such as rabbits and voles. Naturally, this also includes another huge "game"-unlucky human beings. In fact, in official script, this big room is called "kitchen". In order to cooperate with the overall terror atmosphere and make our "cooking madman" work handy, the walls around this big room are covered with all kinds of rough tools-of course, rough and slightly vicissitudes of life are the first to bear the brunt, rusty axes, huge iron bars, iron hooks that seem to bleed blood all the time, and many "ferocious" strange tools ... All these guys are hard to make people think that they have anything to do with cooking. Moreover, on every metal device, you can clearly see dried blood and stained rust. It makes people shudder at first sight. In the center of this big kitchen, a thick rusty chain hangs from the roof. The iron handcuffs at the bottom are just the size designed for ordinary people's wrists and ankles. At this point, the spectators seem to have been able to see that this is not a so-called kitchen, but a slaughterhouse full of bloody breath specially designed for the murderer.

Under the guidance of the successful experience of two predecessors, Toby Hooper (the director of texas chainsaw massacre, texas chainsaw massacre and Texas 2) and Kim Henkel (the screenwriter of texas chainsaw massacre, the director of texas chainsaw massacre's Return and Texas), Jonathan Liebesman successfully built a set of software and hardware shooting foundation for the new film. The outstanding performances of several young actors in the film have exerted great energy and reproduced the glory of this ancient and classic horror story. Especially, two actresses, jordana brewster and Dior Baird, two young actresses in their early twenties, although they didn't shine much on the big screen, they sometimes exclaimed and sometimes bravely resisted in this film, naturally showing their acting talents. It's quite exciting. Ruger/Wen
