What town did it take place in?

[Rabbit'93]

the story is loosely based on events that took place in another state. Silence of the lambs is also based on the same guy.

I guess the Wisconsin Chainsaw massacre just doesnt sound as good as the Texas Chainsaw Massacre

[Gobbla2001]

Yah, it was a cheese-head holding the chainsaw, not a redneck...

And was it really filmed in Travis County? Cuz my GOSH, I've never seen a flat piece of land in Travis County...

based the character of Leatherface on Ed Gein, a Wisconsin farmer who robbed graves.

So its not here in texas. I wanted to go visit that house.

[Wildcat81]

When Arthur Schley arrived at a Wisconsin farmhouse on the evening of 17 November 1957 he was in for a very nasty surprise...

Mr Schley, a sheriff from the nearby town of Plainfield, was investigating the disappearance of 58-year-old shopkeeper Bernice Worden. Evidence from her store - a receipt found on the floor near a trail of blood and a missing cash till - had led him to the farmhouse.

some of it was filmed on (i think) the outskirts of Travis County, either that or out in west texas is my guess!

From what I have heard it was around Quanah, Texas. Someone that knows more or that is from the Quanah / Childress area can expand.
