One of the defining characteristics of Leatherface, depicted throughout the entirety of the series, has been his face mask(s). [228] As with the character's real-life inspiration, Ed Gein, Leatherface wears masks made from the faces of his victims. [53] [54] In the original film, Leatherface dons three different masks during certain parts of the film, each representing a different personality at a given point of time, as the character was never intended to have any personality beneath those masks. As Hansen explained, each mask the character wore determined the kind of personality he wanted to emulate, [77] [100] with each of the masks seen in the film representing something important to Leatherface: "He uses the masks to express the context he is in and how he will behave–his state of mind." [136] :54 Elaborating upon this, Hansen has stated that each mask was a way for Leatherface to take on a personality or identity he was incapable of expressing on his own, that if one were to remove his mask he was essentially devoid of any identity or personality. [136] :56 [229] Co-creator Kim Henkel agreed with this assessment, stating that Leatherface "is who he wears", assuming the personality of each of his individual masks. [54] Tobe Hooper felt that the character's alternating personalities while wearing various masks was comparable to Greek tragedy, as to him, wearing a mask was a form of expressing himself in a way he was incapable of doing on his own. [68] The three masks seen in the original film were intended to represent a different personality and identity for the character. a b Holmes, Adam (September 19, 2019).
