Closing credits said it was based on a true story.

That disclaimer is present on many films that are based on true stories. That disclaimer was instigated by a lawsuit filed against "Rasputin and the Empress" in the 1930's. One of the surviving assassins of Rasputin sued due to his depiction in the film. Consequently, this disclaimer is there to cover asses even when the story is largely true.

Hi
The disclaimer at the very end of the credits is the usual "all characters are fictitious, any similarity to persons living or dead blah blah blah", so the true story bit is presumably just a device.
Although I don't think for a moment this is true, the disclaimer doesn't mean much, there was one at the end of JFK too, and they were all either real people or made up from combinations of real people.

It's more than likely a blantant lie. Like the 2004 version of Texas Chainsaw, it was a lie that it was a true story and it was merely loosely based on Ed Gein and his literal' house of horrors. The only thing I can think of with this is the directly loosely based this on The Yorkshire Ripper case. I'm british btw (not that has to do with anything). And a lot of the killing methods in this were similar to Peter Sutcliffe who was The Yorkshire Ripper. And is anyone is interested in The Yorkshire Ripper check out Red Riding 1-3, it was one of the best TV movies I'd ever seen. Shrouded in realism and darkness it's brilliant in every way, and there's very little fiction in it. It's based on the multiple child dissapearances and the ripper case in late 1970's and early eighties.
This however was a total waste of my time! -

Why only the 2004 version, why not include the '74 version since that's where it came from.

Funny enough the trailer narrator says "once you stop screaming, you'll start talking about it." A quote from thr Texas Chainsaw trailer.
