I posted this in "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" thread. Perhaps this will also help here.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is NOT based on a true story though the writer-director of the original movie had the inspiration from the Ed Gein story.

Edward Theodore Gein was one of the most notorious murderers in American history. His crimes have inspired a lot of movies namely Alfred Hitchcock's film adaption of a Robert Broch's novel Psycho, Alan Ormsby's Deranged, Thomas Harris' novel The Silence of the Lambs which also had a film adaptation that spanned to sequel and a prequel, as well as John Carpenter's Halloween.

But Ed Gein is more of a grave robber than a murderer. He was only known to have commited only two murders in Wisconsin (not Texas) but when his house was raided, the cops saw the decapitated corpse of Bernice Worden and was hanging upside down and spilt open down the torso.

Searching the house, authorities found:

* severed heads acting as bedposts in the bedroom;
* skin used to make lampshades and upholster chair seats;
* skulls made into soup bowls;
* a human heart (it is disputed where the heart was found; the deputies' reports all claim that the heart was in a saucepan on the stove, with some crime scene photographers claiming it was in a paper bag);
* a face mask made out of real facial skin found in a paper bag;
* a necklace of human lips;
* a waistcoat, called a "mammary vest," made up of a vagina and breasts stitched together;
* and other items fashioned from the parts of human bodies, including a belt made from nipples.

Above all, Gein's most infamous creation was an entire wardrobe fabricated of human skin consisting of leggings, a gutted torso (including breasts) and an array of tanned, dead-skin masks that looked leathery and almost mummified.

Gein eventually admitted under questioning that he would dig up the graves of recently buried middle-aged women he thought resembled his mother and take the bodies home, where he tanned their skin to make his macabre possessions. One writer describes Gein's practice of putting on the tanned skins of women as an "insane transvestite ritual." Gein also participated in a stunted form of necrophilia, achieving sexual pleasure by playing with the mutilated sexual organs of corpses. Gein denied having *** with the bodies he exhumed, explaining, "They smelled too bad." During interrogation, Gein also admitted to the shooting death of Mary Hogan, a local tavern employee who had been missing since 1954.

LIMMUEL: Your a very informative guy, are you working in a movie house?

I presume this is address to me. But no, I don't work in a theater but I think it would have been interesting if only it pays well. I got those info from reading various articles from different interests. Movies have been one of my favorite hobbies most specially if its historical.

Still more...

This movie is about the notorious Jack the Ripper whose true identity still mystifies a lot of historians. As there were already a lot of movies or books about this prostitute-murdering character, this latest offer was based on the view of one his victims, Mary Kelly. It starred Brokeback Mountain's Heath Ledger.

What is the title of this movie?

ANSWER: From Hell

[klavel]

[IceInHeLL]

My mistake. Yes, it was Johnny Depp. Thanks.

STILL UNANSWERED:

This is the prequel of a very popular horror-suspense flick that also garnered Oscar nominations (the original). The prequel however failed to generate as much interest as the original (don't they all?). This prequel primarily starred by a Filipino-American actor-singer in a major role. However, after the primary movie was done and viewed by the producers, they insisted to change it for being "not scarry enough". They changed the director and the writer and made another version. After the second version of the prequel, the producers were satisfied but this version no longer includes the Fil-Am actor-singer and had an african-american(?) to take his role.

What is the complete title of the movie?

Is it the final destination?
