Show Notes

You know him, you’re creeped out by him, and now you’re about to delve into the dark cosmic energy of pop culture horror’s posterboy. We’re kicking off this 3 part series with the madman responsible for inspiring Hollywood’s most memorable monsters of men. Folks, hold on to your skin ‘cause we’re getting gritty with Ed Gein.

Key points:

  • Ed Gein, the "Butcher of Plainfield", was a notorious American serial killer and body snatcher who was active in the 1950s.
  • He was known for digging up corpses from local graveyards and using their bones and skin to furnish his home and make "keepsakes".
  • He was arrested in 1957 for the murder of Bernice Worden. Despite being found guilty and institutionalized, he was considered a model patient and died of natural causes in 1984.
  • We begin by exploring Gein’s background and biography to get a framework of the overall manifestations and experiences of Gein’s life and crimes.
