We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.
This is a fiction/fan codex: entries describe an in-universe canon. Our audits check canon and internal consistency — external fact-checking does not apply the way it does on real-subject codexes.

Nubbins Sawyer — Nubbins is killed by a passing truck, not by Sally Hardesty directly.
Nubbins Sawyer — The claim that Nubbins is 'fiercely loyal to the family patriarch, the Cook' is misleading; the Cook is not explicitly established as the patriarch and Nubbins is not shown as particularly loyal to him in a leadership sense.
The Hitchhiker — The Hitchhiker is not killed by the truck alone; he is struck by the truck, then killed by Leatherface with a chainsaw.
The Hewitt Family — Sheriff Hoyt is Luda Mae's son, Charlie Hewitt Jr., not her son-in-law.
The Franklin Family — The claim that Sally is forced to watch her brother's remains served at the table is incorrect. In the 1974 film, Franklin is killed by Leatherface with a chainsaw outside the house, and his remains are not served at the dinner table.
The Franklin Family — The group's destination is described as a rural cemetery after reports of grave robbing. In the film, the group is traveling to visit the Hardesty family's old homestead and a nearby cemetery because of reports of grave robbing at the cemetery where Sally and
The Hardesty Family — The claim that 'Sally does not appear in the 1994 sequel' is factually incorrect because The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 was released in 1986, not 1994, and the 1994 film is The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation, which does not feature the Hardesty fa
The Sawyer Family Massacre — The family patriarch is incorrectly named Drayton Sawyer; in the original 1974 film, Drayton is the eldest son, not the patriarch.
The Sawyer Family Massacre — The location 'Newt, Texas' is incorrect; no specific town name is given in the original 1974 film.
The Origin of the Human Skin Mask — The claim that the mask in the original 1974 film was 'actually constructed from a combination of real animal skin and other materials' is incorrect; it was a custom-made prosthetic sculpted from foam latex and painted to look like human flesh.
The Origin of the Human Skin Mask — The 'DID YOU KNOW' section repeats the same incorrect claim about the mask being made from real animal skin, contradicting the established fact that it was a painted prosthetic.
The Meat Hook — The entry states that Leatherface kills Sally Hardesty's boyfriend, Jerry, with a sledgehammer. In the 1974 film, Jerry is not Sally's boyfriend; he is her brother. Sally's boyfriend is Kirk.
The Meat Hook — The entry claims the hook is 'often seen in the infamous dinner scene, where it looms over the table.' In the 1974 film, the meat hook is not visible in the dinner scene.
