In similar fashion, Leatherface is seen wearing a mask made from the faces of corpses in the films, sometimes even peeled from a recent victim before they’ve fully died.

Leatherface is partially based on the real-life Ed Gein, a Wisconsin serial killer and grave robber who fashioned garments from preserved human skin during the mid 1950s. He’s been living in a vacant orphanage under the watchful, loving eye of a motherly figure (Alice Krige) who’s managed to suppress the hulking serial killer’s violent tendencies and likely improved his diet (less fatty meat, perhaps). It turns out Harlow still has a handful of residents, including the old chainsaw-massacrer himself, Leatherface (Mark Burnham). In the new film, various properties throughout Harlow are going to be auctioned off by the banks with help from Dante (Jacob Latimore) and Melody (Sarah Yarkin), two internet-celebrity chefs who plan to open their new restaurant in Harlow as a PR stunt to attract more buyers. The killer cannibal family lived on the outskirts of Harlow, Texas, now a hollowed-out ghost town whose only claim to fame is the massacre Sally barely escaped half a century earlier. In the original, a vanload of naive hippies are terrorized and then slaughtered by a sadistic family of cannibals in the Texas plains, leaving young Sally Hardesty (Marilyn Burns) as the lone blood-soaked survivor, with the killers still at large. This new movie takes place nearly 50 years after the events of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre from 1974 (note: the title changes from "Chain Saw" to "Chainsaw" in 2022).
The movie is a soft reboot of the notorious film series that first shocked audiences in 1974, acting as a direct sequel to the premier installment while overlooking all of its subsequent sequels, reboots and remakes that pepper Hollywood every few years. They say everything’s bigger in Texas, which is accurate when it comes to the body count in Netflix’s recently released The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
