Leather Face

Leatherface is a fictional character in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre film series created by Kim Henkel and Tobe Hooper. He first appeared in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) as a cannibalistic and mentally unstable mass murderer who, alongside his family, kidnapped, murdered, and subsequently cooked unsuspecting travellers. The character's name comes from the skin masks he is always seen wearing, which hide his deformed face and are made from his victims' faces. Leatherface's signature weapon is a chainsaw, though he has used other weapons to murder his victims. Wisconsin murderer Ed Gein, who also wore masks made of human skin,[1] was reportedly the inspiration for Leatherface and other elements in the original film.
