Well, it was inspired by true events, but not based on them. Meaning, a lot of this movie is completely factual, but some of it is also an act of fiction.

The movies "Silence Of The Lambs" and the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" are based off a real-life killer ; Ed Gein. He didn't really use a chainsaw or anything like that, but he did infact wear the skins and keep the body parts and such. It's bascically the truth, yet slightly exaggerated to you know, make the movie scary to kids.
Isn't that nuts, though?
I hope I helped.

It was based on a true story but the movie made it more dramatic than it was in real life.

I did one of my Criminology reports on Ed Gein.
Sick man indeed.

from wikipedia:
The film, like the films Psycho, Deranged, and The Silence of the Lambs, was loosely inspired by Ed Gein. Gein did wear human skin, but he acted alone and did not use a chainsaw. Although the film's opening would have one believe that the events are factual, it is merely a scare tactic, called the false document technique, to frighten the audience. The movie was filmed from 15 July 1973 - 14 August 1973, while the opening narrative claims that the events took place on 18 August 1973, so it would be impossible for the film to be based on actual events which had not happened at the time of filming. Libraries in Burkburnett, Texas and nearby Wichita Falls regularly receive requests for copies of newspaper articles related to the false actual events.[5]
