I remember somebody telling me that the Texas Chain Saw Massacre actually happened and that the house or the one across the street from it was actually used as a haunted house attraction. Wouldn't be surprised if it was also based off of other killers but when I did some research it kept coming back with the name Ed Gein so thats the one I said.
