Here's why:
* No real-life evidence: There is no documented evidence of a real-life serial killer matching the description of Leatherface or committing the horrific crimes portrayed in the movies.
* Horror genre: The franchise is a horror film series, meant to entertain and scare audiences.
* Based on a legend: While the original film draws inspiration from the legend of Ed Gein, a real-life Wisconsin man who committed crimes involving body parts, the story was greatly exaggerated and fictionalized for the film.
While the film is fictional, it's important to remember that real-life crimes are often inspired by fictional portrayals. It's a reminder of the power of media and the need to separate reality from fantasy.
