About Leatherface
His real name is Jedidah Sawyer, but gets his nickname Leatherface because he wears a mask made out of human skin. Leatherface is known as the grandfather of all horror film villains and is the main character of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre films. Leatherface is a serial killer based off of true life events but is a fictional character. While most horror films are based on revenge, Leatherface is more simple minded than evil.
Leatherface’s family had so much control over him that he commits heinous crimes because he believes it is what he is supposed to do. Any other time he kills it is usually due to feeling threatened. This may make him sound more innocent than he really is, but don’t be fooled—this is one scary guy who will kill anyone who comes across his path! The 2017 film Leatherface is the eighth film in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise and is a prequel to original 1974 movie.
