Is 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre' based solely upon Ed Gein or is the film also based upon other serial killers?

Despite being heavily touted as "inspired by a true story," both Tobe Hooper's original 1974 film and the 2003 Marcus Nispel remake are only lightly based on the real-life murderer Ed Gein, who is suspected to have taken several victims between 1954 and 1957. Perhaps the most recognizable similarity is the film's house, whose gruesome content was similar to that found in Ed Gein's home in 1957. Apr 16 06, 4:49 PM
