The content of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" is not true! ! !

However, its content is adapted from a real event~

The event it is based on is a series called Ed Gein (also known as "Plainfield Butcher") What the murderer did...

The butcher in Plains Town has been arrested and has been dead for many years, so "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" is just a movie adapted from an example, not a real person. . Regarding what is said at the end of the movie: "The murderer has never been caught, the Case remained open", it is just a way of showing off mysteries in the movie~~

Ed Gein should be the most favored serial murderer in Hollywood so far. Crazy, and the films written based on his incident include Psycho, Silence of the Lambs, and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

In fact, Ed Gein in real life was quite quiet, introverted, and shy, and he had "only" killed two people. Compared with other serial killers such as Ted Bundy and others, his achievements are absolutely inferior; however, because during the period when he committed crimes (the 1950s), the folk customs were still very conservative, and he stole corpses, His behavior of cannibalism was also horrifying, thus establishing his eternal status as a serial killer.

Gein was born in 1906, and his family moved to Plainfield, Wisconsin when he was a child. His father was an alcoholic farmer, his mother was an extremely strict and devout religious man, and he had an older brother.

Their family has a small farm, which is located in a very remote countryside. In other words, it is very private and no strangers usually visit it. But this farm is very poor, so the Gein family can be said to be marginalized people struggling in poverty.

My mother had the greatest influence on Gein, and it can almost be said that it was her fault that Gein later committed such a crime... She was a fervent Catholic, and she regularly went to bed for her sons every day. Bible classes constantly promote the importance of believing in God and that sinners will go to hell. At the same time, she threatened her sons that women are dangerous and that immersion in female sex is immoral, and used various methods to frighten her sons' interest in the opposite sex. This incident led to Gein never getting married and never having sex with a woman until his death. In the first half of his life, he followed the rules. In addition to working on his family farm, he would occasionally go to town to do odd jobs to earn some pocket money. In the eyes of the townspeople, he was a "very quiet, a little weird, shy and kind" man.

But the peaceful life began to change. First, when he was nearly thirty, his father died. Then his brother died in a warehouse fire. Finally, his beloved mother died of a stroke in 1945.

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

Since the only "woman" in his life was his mother, Gein admitted afterwards that his mother's death left him at a loss. Every night, he would wear his mother's clothes and dress up like her at home. Walking around, trying to change this favorite woman back. (This was once used in Hitchcock's movie "Psycho".)

In the end, dressing up as his mother became increasingly unsatisfactory for him. In the middle of the night, he began to go to a nearby cemetery to steal female corpses. After returning home, he dismembered the corpses and made specimens of parts of the corpses, such as breasts and female sexual characteristics, and hung them on his bedside as decorations. The skin was peeled off and made into a female human skin suit, which he often wore around the farm. (This has appeared in Silent Lambs and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.)

Because his farm is quite secretive, these activities went on for several years without being discovered. But gradually, skinning dead people no longer satisfied him.

He wanted fresh goods...

One afternoon, the deputy police chief of Pingyuan Town discovered that his mother, who was in her fifties, was missing. His mother opened a grocery store in the town. On the weekend afternoon, he came back to pick her up after hunting, but he only saw a large pool of blood on the ground in the store, and his mother disappeared without a trace.

There was a shopping list for Gein on the counter, so the deputy police chief immediately contacted other police officers and planned to go to the Gein family farm to ask if there were any clues about his mother.

The police originally came with the intention of "questioning". They never expected that the Gein Farm that greeted them turned out to be a hellish scene.

As they approached the farm, they smelled the strong smell of carrion. Gein's main house was locked and the owner was not home, so the police went to the nearby tool shed to poke around. Unexpectedly, when they looked through the gap in the window, they saw a corpse hanging upside down in mid-air.

At first, police weren't sure what it was. The head of the corpse had been cut off, the front was cut open from the pubic area to the neck, the organs were taken out, and the limbs of the corpse were hung upside down with hooks. At first glance, the police thought they saw a dissected deer. Upon closer inspection, they realized that they were facing a human corpse.

The police were horrified, and the whole town was alarmed.

The police then arrested Ed Gein. As usual, there was no resistance.

A large number of police officers went to the farm to conduct further searches, and found all kinds of horrifying evidence.

The hanging body was that of the deputy sheriff's mother. They found her head and intestines in a small box, and her heart in a dinner plate in the main room. In addition, several bowls made of ground human heads were found, a belt made of female nipples, "clothes", trash cans, and lampshades made of human skin. Several pairs of female vaginas and uteruses, and more than a dozen pairs were found in the kitchen. Sheathed human scalps and various corpse parts.

After Gein was arrested, he admitted that he had killed another woman, but that was all. The other body parts were stolen from the grave. Police believe he was involved in several other homicides, but this has never been confirmed. Gein also emphasized that he just liked to "wear" the body parts and that he did not eat any corpses.

This "quiet and shy" murderer shocked American society at the time, and the media gave him the title of "The Butcher of Pingyuan Town".

In the end, Ed Gein was sent to a mental hospital. From beginning to end, he was a gentle and shy patient. He died of old age naturally in the ward.

Behind the scenes of the film: The Slaughterhouse of the Killer King

Since it is called "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" ”, naturally “produced” in Texas, a vast territory in the western United States. The producers also chose the main location for filming in the suburbs of Austin, Texas - a very open area. The dilapidated two-story building stands alone in the wilderness, creating an excellent "purely natural" shooting background for the film. Even when there was plenty of sunshine at noon, the small building still looked completely eerie. Not far from the door, there lay a weathered cow skull. Under the strong light, its pale color was even more dazzling. Inside the small building, a spacious room on the first floor looks like an old and abandoned warehouse. According to the crew, this will be the kitchen of the Chainsaw Killer in the film, where the masked man will cook all the game he catches in the wild, such as hares, voles, etc. Naturally, this also includes another relatively large "game" - unlucky humans.

In fact, in the official script, this large room is called "the kitchen." In order to match the overall scary atmosphere and make our "cooking madman" work smoothly, the walls around this big room are covered with various rough tools--of course, the rough and slightly aged electric knife The saw was the first to bear the brunt of the attack, as were rusty axes, huge iron bars, iron hooks that seemed to be dripping with blood at all times, and many "ghoulish-looking" strange tools... All of these guys, it is difficult for people to think that they have anything to do with cooking. relation. Moreover, the intertwined patterns of dried blood stains and rust stains can be clearly seen on every piece of metal equipment. One look at it makes one shudder. In the center of the large kitchen, a series of thick and rusty iron chains hung from the roof. The bottom iron cuffs are just the right size for the average person's wrists and ankles. After admiring this, the viewers seem to be able to fully understand that this is not a so-called kitchen, but a slaughterhouse full of bloody smell specially designed for the murderous devil.

The film’s director, Jonathan Liebesman, collaborated with two predecessors, Tobe Hooper (director of “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” and “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2”) and Kim Henkel. (The screenwriter of the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" series and the director of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Returns")'s successful experience and the help of many parties, we successfully created a complete set of software and hardware shooting foundation for the new work. The outstanding performances of several young actors in the film have exerted great energy to restore the glory of this ancient and classic horror story. Especially the two actresses Jordana Brewster and Deora Baird. Although the two young actresses in their early twenties did not have much brilliance on the big screen, in this film Sometimes screaming and sometimes bravely resisting, the actor's own acting talent is naturally revealed. Quite exciting. Ruger/text
