Is Leather Face real?

A few months ago I did some research, and found that Leather Face was based on a real person named Ed Gein. Later, I visited another site and read that the director of the movie said that a legend was created among the people. He said while in he was in a mall he thought about the fastest way to clear all the people out. Then he saw some chainsaws in a hardware store. And that is where the idea for Leather Face, chainsaw wielding maniac was born. Then there is the footage at the end of the film. Is that real or fake? Can anybody who knows clear this up for me please. Thanks

Yes, Leatherface was loosely based on Ed Gein. As was Buffalo Bill to what I know.

Buffalo Bill and Leatherface were both based on Ed Gein.
That doco film is just made up to go with the movie.

The footage at the end of the film looked nothing like Ed Gein to me.

This is blatantly incorrect, it's been established by everyone with any sort of credibility in the matter that Leatherface is LOOSELY based on the serial killer Ed Gein.

Do not listen to stuff like this, it is false.

You know that Buffalo Bill was based off of several serial killers not just one, so was Lecter for that matter. Yeah and trust these guys on the fact that Leather face isn't a real person. He was extremely loosely based off of Ed Gein.
