A friend of mine went down the road in Texas last night to Leatherface's house. He was walking down the road and a wihite van was following him. He seen lights on in the window of the house and someone was staring at him. From what I know about Leatherface, he broke out of a mental institution around five years ago and was heading back to Texas. When he seen the van, he started freaking out.
Awake!

Just to clarify:
"The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" was based on a true story. The story was based on a head-line Tobe Hooper read referring to a "cannibal-farmhouse-of-horror" or something like that. It is my understanding that Hooper did not even bother reading the story before conceiving TCM. The head-line referred to Ed Gein, an actual serial-killer in Wisconsin who made summer-sausage out of long-pig, used human skin for lamp-shades, and human bone as decorative accents. Many of his neighbors received and consumed his gifts before word got out that they were made from human-beings. Tasty!
I moved to Travis County, were the fictional Texas Chainsaw Massacre was located, and since my move down here I have visited 5 "Massacre" houses, following wide-eyed guides who all swore this was the "real" house. I have yet to visit the Texas Chainsaw Massacre Museum in Waco, but plan on doing so this summer. Where was the house you visited located?
For a real treat, if you are ever in Indiana (my home state), stop by La Porte and visit the Gunness farm. The house was once one of the most popular brothels in the area before the owners died and the property was purchased by Peter Gunness in 1901. His new bride, Belle, would become one of the most prolific female serial-killers in history with a track record that would put Leatherface to shame.

Ego Diabolus Priest of R'lyeh Cult of Cthulhu Huh, I never knew he sent his cannibal food to his neighbors. In fact, I thought he lived out in a rural area. And he wasn't technically a serial killer, though. He only killed 2 people as far as me and many serial killer experts know. The rest were just dug up and stole their organs, flesh, bones, and I think sometimes their entire bodies.

You may be right about Gein. He was only tried and convicted for one murder, but was suspected in several. The "summer sausage" incident may have only happened to one or two of his neighbors, or may just be a rumor based on the way one of his victims was found... trussed-up like a slaughtered deer.
By his loathsome tentacles!

It was not me that went to the house. It was a friend of mine. I am not sure which one of the Leatherface houses it was. Also, this was done by him as a dare on Samhain.
AWAKE
