The opening crawl falsely suggests that the film is based on true events, a conceit that contributed to its success. Donaldson, Lucy Fife (2010). "Access and Excess in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre" (PDF). Movie: A Journal of Film Criticism (1). I love the way Leatherface looks in both The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 and Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre III, so it made me happy to see these action figures.
