I still love this movie even though its not exactly true to the true story but so what who cares as long as its a good/great movie thats all that matters IMO.

Me either. I know it's extremely loosely based that took nothing away from this film at all. I've liked this movie since the first time. Yesterday I watched Tony: Lindon Serial Killer, and I think I like it just as much if not more. Both great flicks.

I'm glad that a lot of this movie wasn't true.

Obviously those things do occur and Henry & Otis were awful people but damn this was disturbing.

It wasn't supposed to be 'true'. It's just loosely inspired by Henry Lee Lucas' claims, most of which weren't even true there. It's a fictional story. They never said otherwise.
