7. Leatherface Actually Had Three Different Masks

Contrary to what his name would suggest, Leatherface didn’t have just one mask but three and none of them were made from leather but from human skin with each designed to express a different side of his character.

The mask we see him in most of the time – a simple, classic design with bold stitching – is known as his Killing Mask and, funnily enough, it’s what he does most of his killing in. The second mask we see Leatherface wear is the Old Lady Mask which he fetchingly teams with a wig, homely apron and a wooden spoon and tends to don when he’s feeling domesticated and cooking up some delicious Sawyer family recipes in the kitchen.

Finally, there’s his Pretty Woman mask complete with blue eyeshadow and red lipstick which we see him wearing with a smart suit during the dinner scene. A true Southern gentleman even when he’s about to chow down on human flesh.
