He also wanted the misleadingly narrated information to respond to cultural and political discussions involving the government's deceit towards the general public during the 1970s. Despite the film's insinuation that The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a true story and the events actually happened, there are shreds of truth within the movie, as with most legends. Vewers of the 1974 Texas Chainsaw Massacre can be forgiven for walking away from the iconic horror thinking that the film is based on true events due to the opening narration, which states that the massacre is: " one of the most bizarre crimes in the annals of American history." This decision was a deliberate ploy by director Hooper designed as a marketing tactic to attract a wider audience through campfire-style horror tales. The giant madman then embarks on a bloody spree, killing Sally's entire troupe as she is held hostage inside the home before Sally escapes in the movie's climax. The house, incidentally, is owned by a family of crazed, vicious cannibals, in particular housing the Texas chainsaw-wielding slasher, Leatherface. They run out of gas on their way, so they stop at a nearby house for some assistance despite an ominous warning from a hitchhiker. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre follows a young woman named Sally and her brother as they travel to an old family home in Texas with a few friends. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is also credited with breaking new ground for the genre, including using power tools as murder weapons and the ominous characterization of using a large, hulking, faceless figure as the killer. The iconic slasher is still considered one of the most influential horror movies of all time, directed by horror legend Tobe Hooper for a meager budget. While Leatherface remains a fictional character, the true story of The Texas Chainsaw Massacreis chillingly based on real events, lending credence to the aura of fear that the film still embodies.
