ed gein

this certain character in history has influenced loads of horror film that have bin made so i decided to so some research on him

Edward Theodore Gein (August 27, 1906 – July 26, 1984) was an US killer and grave robber. His crimes generated widespread notoriety after authorities discovered Gein had exhumed corpses from local graveyards and fashioned gruesome trophies and keepsakes from them. He is often called a serial killer despite his conviction for only two murders.


When the police radied his they found

  • Human skulls mounted upon the corner posts of his bed
  • Skin fashioned into a lampshade and used to upholster chair seats
  • Human skullcaps, apparently in use as soup bowls
  • A human heart (it is disputed where the heart was found; deputy reports all claimed that the heart was in a saucepan on the stove, while some crime scene photographers claimed it was in a paper bag)
  • Skin from the face of Mary Hogan, a local tavern owner, found in a paper bag
  • A window shade pull consisting of human lips
  • A vest crafted from the skin of a woman's torso
  • A belt made from several human nipples
  • Socks made from human flesh
  • A sheath made from human skin
  • A box of preserved vulvas that Gein admitted to be wearing
  • An array of "shrunken heads"
i think this one of the main reason that a lot of director and actors have bin inspired by him odiously not because he was an amazing person,but because the complete opposite he was so twisted and messed up that if any of the directors had ever wanted to have some sick mined character they could actualhave some refrence and crate more idea off ed gain

and it has also come to my attention that most of the twisted and fucked character or fims are based in Texas whether that is because it such a desolate place or that were they are is a myster to me but its seem like a good spot to me
