Anyhow, I can see what Shady is saying. I too can not get into sci-fi movies much at all. Anything that is extremely unbelievable puts me over the edge. I do agree it is one persons own opinion of what is realistic or not though. I personally like slasher movies even tho I think they are very unrealistic, I love Haunting movies cause I believe in that though never experienced in it, and I love movies like Se7en and Saw ect cause they could happen for sure!

it is in fact very very vaguely based on ed gein. leatherface's mask is inspired by ed making a suit out of women's skin, although buffalo bill is a better example. And they believe he did practice some cannibalism. Thats about it.
Oh, and in case anyone cared, ed gein is techincally not a serial killer, he was a sick fuck, but he had to have at least 3 victims with a "cooling down" period in between by most efinitions, and he only killed 2.
