On August 20, 1973, the police were sent to a remote farm. Its owner, Thomas Hewitt, had previously worked at the local slaughterhouse in Travis County, Texas. In the mysterious home, they found the remains of 33 slaughtered people! A shocking discovery that shocked and frightened the entire nation – and is still referred to as the most notorious case of a mass murderer ever. Thomas Hewitt himself swung the chainsaw and wore a grotesque mask made of the skin of his victims – and his gruesome deeds made him famous when sensational headlines appeared on the front pages of all the Texas newspapers: House of Horrors Paralyzes the Nation – Texas Massacre.
The local authorities shot the man with the leather mask and announced that they had killed him. The case was quickly closed, but in the following years, many who were close to the horrific murders claimed that the police had botched the investigation and killed the wrong man.
For the first time, the sole survivor of the massacre has broken his silence to tell the true story of what happened on a Texas highway when a group of five young people were unwittingly attacked by a man with a chainsaw, leaving behind a trail of blood and terror that would forever be known as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
