The True Story Behind the Texas Chainsaw Massacre Is Way More Disturbing Than the Movie

8 years ago Lily Garner
Tobe Hooper's 1974 film The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is one of cinema's OG horror classics and a must see for any scary movie aficionado. Given how stomach-churning a lot of the scenes in the gory slasher can be, it's hard to imagine that the film's story has any root in reality. Unfortunately, like a lot of movies and TV shows out there, a real-life serial killer served as inspiration for the movie's chainsaw-wielding villain, Leatherface. While a family of cannibalistic hillbillies who prey on unsuspecting teenagers is luckily not part of the original story (that we know of), the idea for Leatherface came out of the case of murderer Edward Theodore "Ed" Gein, also known as the Butcher of Plainfield. He is suspected to have killed several victims between the years of 1954 and 1957 and remains one of the most disturbing and notorious serial killers in history. The Origin of a Serial Killer As a young man growing up in La Crosse, WI, in the early 1900s, Gein..

While Hoda Kotb was in Pyeongchang, South Korea, covering the Winter Olympics, her adorable daughter, Haley Joy, was equally busy. The little girl — who turned 1 while the Today coanchor was away (Hoda celebrated the big day a few weeks early with a homemade cake and a "Happy Birthday" serenade) — achieved another major milestone. She said "mama." In a sweet video montage of all of the NBC morning show hosts reuniting with family after two weeks across the globe (you've got to see Savannah Guthrie's cuddly reunion with her daughter!), you can see what it was like for Hoda to learn the big news over one of their twice-daily FaceTime calls, the plight of many working parents. "I could cry, just listening to her say that," Hoda recalled. Thankfully, Haley showed off her new skill in person when they had their "own happy homecoming."

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's Boots Have Pockets — Now That's a Game Changer Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's Boots Have Pockets — Now That's a Game Changer Models can strike a pose anywhere, anytime, and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley just showed us how. The model was in town for Paris Fashion Week and took the opportunity to lie down on a luxe carpeted staircase for a photo. Rosie stretched out her long legs in a pair of brown Saint Laurent boots, which she styled with jeans, a printed top, and a brown leather jacket. The thigh-high boots traveled all the way past her knees and were pretty darn glamorous. Upon closer look, you could even see that her boots had pockets. Now she probably wasn't using that feature to hold her belongings (she had her mustard-colored YSL bag), but it was a nifty detail. Read on to see Rosie's boots, then snag your own pair of brown boots for Winter. Related 24 Times Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Was the Best Dressed Woman at the Airport

I Love You, Husband, but Please Don’t Touch Me

8 years ago Lily Garner
Dear Husband, I love you. Let's just open with that, OK? Because it's important for you to remember. Just please, please don't try to have sex with me right now. Understand that if I recoil at your tender nudge in bed at the end of the day, it's not a reflection of you or my love for you. I need you to know that it won't be like this forever, but right now, I'm more interested in having a glass of wine or binge-watching a mindless show on Netflix than participating in an act we used to regularly enjoy. The reason for this? The kids we created from that same fun act. Our children are on me all day, every day. One constantly asks to sit with me, snuggle with me, or have their butt wiped by me, while the other is literally sucking on my boob at all times. I love them dearly and wouldn't trade them for the world, but . . . it can be exhausting. By the time I get both of them fed, bathed, and in bed, the last thing I want is to be close to another human ..
