The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is one of my favorite movies of all time, but it wasn't until just recently I finally got around to seeing The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, which I also enjoyed tremendously, though it's really more of a pitch black comedy than a horror film. After seeing a movie for the first time, I always like to go online and learn all I can about it, and while poking around the Web I discovered that the E! True Hollywood Story would be taking a look at the popular horror franchise, though hopefully not at the god awful remakes that have come out recently. The synopsis on the E! Web page says the movie was based on serial killer Ed Gein, which isn't exactly true. The plot of the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre is entirely made up, though director Tobe Hooper used some elements of Ed Gein's true-life crimes, such as creating furniture and masks from skin and bones, in his film.

You might notice this special originally aired several days ago, so yeah, I'm a little late on this. However, it re-airs today at 4 pm, so check it out if you can.
