He runs through his victims with his infamous chainsaw and even impales one of his victims on a meat hook while she is still alive.
THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE TRUE STORY MOVIE
His acts bring out the horror aspects of the movie to the core. Leatherface is the butcher and executioner, who is encountered upon by the group one by one. (This act is reminiscent of the very first scene of the movie) While the Old Man is the dominant member of this household, the hitchhiker is able to take a stand against him towards the end of the movie when he chides the Old Man for not doing any of the killings. Three of them have different roles in the murderous enterprise: The Hitchhiker, supposed to lure the victims, is the first one to meet Sally and her friends, invites them to his place (“ You…You…You could have dinner with us, my brother makes good head cheese! You like head cheese? My Brother makes it real good…”) and foreshadows what is about to occur by taking their photos. Incidentally, the Sawyer family also comprises of three individuals, who are shown to share a familial bond much like the close bond that was shared by the trio from Houston Mass murders. It was this identity dilemma which seeped into the cannibalistic Sawyer family in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

While they became ‘celebrities of the macabre’, they gave the sense that they were doing the right thing.

He was soon joined in by David Brooks and the two helped the police discover bodies of several young boys.
After his crimes were figured out, Henley decided to assist the cops. When Dean Corll was alive, Wayne and Brooks had acted as his agents luring several of their own friends to his den and also participated in acts of violence. The link between the two was pointed out by one of the writers of the movie, wherein he referred to the ‘moral schizophrenia’ that could be made out from the statements of Elmer Wayne Henley. The latter is a work of fiction known as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, a slasher-horror movie which had a ground-breaking impact on the slasher genre.
