I watched Texas Chainsaw Massacre (newer one) the other night. Right at the end of the movie there is some footage of some cops entering the house/living room, who get attacked by leatherface. I was just wondering if that was actual footage (ie true story) or if it was just some gimmicky thing they just put?

Yet another person who thinks the movie is a true story

Let's just say it's a heavily edited true story.

In reality, there apparently was a guy who diged up dead people and wore their skins, or so i read. Please correct me if i'm wrong.

But doesn't it speak for the movie if hans thought it was real footage at the end? I for one loved the remake! :razz:

Um, I mean right at the end AFTER the movie finishes, theres some naration about some guy called Hewitt or something and some black and white footage of some cops entreing the house.

TCM is based on a true story - but its far different from the movies. I hate when movies say based on a true story just to make a few extra bucks, like the Amityville Horror trailer says its based on a true story - but that story has been reported to be false and theres been evidence proving it to be false.

Really? I was just watching a documentary on that haunting recently. I didn't know that new evidence was found.

All part of the movie.

Dont think its new evidence, im pretty sure it's been found false for a long time now. Let me find a link.

Amityville 'hauntings' are unquestionably a hoax. And the movie itself is nothing more than the 1970's equivalent of the Blair Witch Project. Virtually everyone connected with the Amityville event came forward many years ago and admitted it was all a publicity stunt for the book and the subsequent movie. (In fact, it's been a dead issue for about a decade now which is why I'm surprised to find people still arguing about it.) The only people who have continued to claim that the hauntings actually occurred are the Lutz's themselves. And only b/c they've been able to capitalize on this tired 'phenomenon' by getting paid to make appearances and do interviews on the subject over the last 25 years.

Wrong.. Ed and Lorraine Warren, who are World Renowned Parapsychologists and Clairavoyants beg to differ and that they did feel a powerful presence in that house back when they were in it around 1979.. Here's the link:

In the end, I don't think will ever really know, but I can't imagine why anyone would go to the lengths to make up such a thing when in fact, there does exist the power of Supernatural and Hauntings more than you think it does.. I do believe that the Lutz's experienced SOMETHING and it is true this house was built on an Indian Burial Ground as well.. The Problem is is that we live in a Cynical Society where everyone and there brother demand 100% concrete physical evidence in front of their eyes and refuse to believe it otherwise unless shown....

It was a silly movie

Which movie was silly?? TCM Remake or Amityville Horror??

Did you actually read any of the links Killuminati510 posted? Or did you just quote him randomly before making your case?

The reason someone would go to such lengths to make up such a thing is simple - money. Don't you think it's strange that every family that's moved into the house since the Lutzes have managed to live there for many years without complaining of supernatural activity? Let alone being woken up mysteriously at 3.15 every night? That in itself should be enough evidence to discredit the Warrens and the Lutzes stories.

The general belief is that the Lutzes bought a house that they couldn't afford. They moved out before they had to make the first mortgage payment, and they made a crapload of money from telling a bunch of lies. They, and everyone involved in perpetuating the scam (including Ronald Defeo's (the bloke who killed all the previous residents) lawyer William Weber - with whom they concocted the story), did nothing more than capitalize on the deaths of the Defeo family in the house before them.

As for the Warrens website, it's quite funny that the Warrens provide some photos of their Amityville investigation (that amount to little more than a few pictures of the house and of the Warrens sat inside the house) but to see "the most shocking, revealing, and interesting photographs, you’ll need to attend one of the Warrens’ many lectures." For those interested, admission to one of the Warrens lectures goes for about $89.

Take a read of this site, BKB; it does a fine job of debunking most of the junk the Warrens spout on their website.

Here's a few choice excerpts so you don't have to go clicking too many pesky links:

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is based on a true story in the loosest sense of the word. The story it's actually based on took place in Wisconsin, not Texas, and although a chainsaw may have been present, there's no evidence to suggest it was involved in any sort of massacre.

Basically, in the 50s a bloke named Ed Gein killed a few women and collected various body parts from local graves to decorate his house and build himself a "suit" of human flesh. His actions were blamed on an unhealthy upbringing and relationship with his mother and the case went on to shock all of middle America. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Psycho and Silence of the Lambs are just some of the films that have since borrowed elements of Gein's story.

Me, too.

me too

*scratches head*

Ok, it does speak for the SCENE not the entire MOVIE, if it's this what you mean. :???: IMHO the whole movie was well made, as was that scene at the end.

The movie was ok, ive never seen the original so cant compare. The scene at the end which im talking about really did get me confused whether it was fact or fiction, but now we've got that cleared up \:D/

It's one hell of an effective gimmik.

Yeah, I was pretty happy when I heard they were making a movie about Ed Gein - but WOW when I saw it, complete trash.
