Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) Trivia Questions
1. What real person is Leather-face based on?

From Quiz All About Leather-face

Answer: Ed Gein

Leather-face was based on Ed Gein because they were both cannibals and killers, made clothes, masks, and furniture out of human skins and bones. In the remake of the original "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", made in 2003, Leather-face's name was Thomas Hewitt. People tell me that he was a real person. He's not. Leather-face was based loosely on Ed Gein. "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" was not a true story. I have the DVD of the remake, and the director on the bonus features said he wasn't a real person. So, sorry for the confusion.

2. What does the weird hitchhiker smear on the teenagers' Volkswagon van door?

From Quiz The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Answer: blood from his hand

Franklin says, "Guys, I think we just picked up Dracula."

3. On what date are the events set?

From Quiz Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Answer: August 18, 1973

'An idyllic summer afternoon drive became a nightmare. The events of that day were to lead to the discovery of one of the most bizarre crimes in the annals of American history... The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.'

4. How and why does Leather-face get his nickname?

From Quiz All About Leather-face

Answer: By wearing masks of human skin

Leather-face got his odd nickname from his skin-diseased face, then he kept it by his hobby of wearing people's faces.

This might have come from one of Leather-face's victims.

From Quiz Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Answer: Newt

'...found the remains of a badly decomposed body wired to a large monument...' Tricky tidbit overheard in the film's radio narration that is played over the footage of the decaying corpses.

7. What is Leather-face's main weapon to kill people?

10. Who is Drayton to Leatherface?

From Quiz All About Leather-face

Answer: his brother

People get really confused about this, saying that Drayton is Leather-face's dad. He isn't. They're inbred, so I can't tell. Inbred means that you conceive someone in your family to have a baby. It can cause the child to be deformed or insane.
