The evil villain of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre film and its spinoffs, Leatherface is one of the earliest horror film characters in the genre. The first Texas Chainsaw Massacre film hit the big screen in 1974, and was followed over many years by 5 spin offs and remakes, leaving Leatherface well established in the American imagination. As one of the scariest characters in film history, Leatherface, who creates his masks out of human skin, is a Halloween fixture, and Leatherface costumes have been worn for many years.
Leatherface costumes bring the frightening visage of the character to life with latex masks replicating the creepy one created by the killer. An apron also meant to look like flesh adds the creepy look. Of course, the Texas Chainsaw Massacre killer needs a chainsaw to stalk his victims, and it is the perfect accessory for authentic Leatherface costumes.
