I heard an interview with Toby Hooper, in which he mentioned that the inspiration for Leatherface arose from two things.
First, he went on to relate a story the family doctor had told him about having once " skinned off a cadaver's face ", cured it, and wore it to a Halloween party.
Second, he said he ( basically ) wanted to have the film feature " a whole family of Ed Geins ". When you examine each individual family member, you will find that they all incorporate seperate aspects of The Ghoul of Plainfield.
