Leatherface

Leatherface is a fictional character in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre horror-film series. One of the first slasher-film villains, he has appeared in all six of the series' films since the release of the original, in 1974. The character wears masks made of human skin and engages in murder and cannibalism.

In the series, he often uses a chainsaw and sledgehammer to slaughter his victims. He lives with a poor Southern family of fellow cannibals and serial-killers, who often behave abusively and violently towards him. The character is inspired by Wisconsin serial killer Ed Gein who, like Leatherface, wore a mask of skin.

In the original film, Leatherface wore three different masks; the "Killing Mask", "Grandmother Mask" and "Pretty Woman Mask". Gunnar Hansen commented: "the reason he wore a mask, according to Tobe and Kim, was that the mask really

determined his personality. Who he wanted to be that day determined what mask he put on. So, when the Cook comes home, with Sally, Leatherface is wearing the 'Grandmother Mask' and he's wearing an apron and carrying a wooden spoon – he wants to be domestic, helpful in the kitchen. At dinner he wears a different face - the 'Pretty Woman,' which has make up."
