You can see some Ed Gein in the characters of Psycho, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and the Silence of the Lambs.

I remember taking a summer class in psychological explanations of criminal behaviour. I will always remember my prof standing at the front of the class in his bright Hawaiian shirt pointing to pictures of Gein's lampshade and shrunken heads. The word surreal comes to mind :o)
It's probably a good thing, but I can't seem to find pictures of the shrunken heads or lampshades online. Apparently Gein had a pretty bad childhood which might explain his 'unusual' behaviour, but others like Herbert Mullin seem to have lead fairly normal lives. I guess it boils down to the whole nature vs. nurture argument.

I feel sorry for him, especially how he grew up. Im still amazed that even now after hes dead, people still remember him and making alot of movies of his life. He had a rough, loveless life. Even i was trying to look for 'real pics of his house and things that been said that he did. Its strange but its a amazing and unique story. i was kinda like hooked on his history and movies, not that i would do that.lol But its a very sad, but true story.
I think that why its so interesting to read. Mainly because its true.
Rest in peace Ed Gein

My course project is on Ed Gein, and it makes me sad to know that his mother lead him to live this way. For being a woman herself, she made him believe that women were evil. I believe that he was fascinated by them, but lonely because his mother was gone. That could explain why he kept the body parts of these women around. In a sick sense, he kept them alive amongst himself.

Um,actually, he only killed 2 women. And with a shotgun at that. He then cut them up. All the other body parts are from his graverobbing hobby. He was a sick twisted man, but he didn't torture anyone.

He made the furniture out of dead bodies that he robbed from graves. He robbed the graves so that he could have a lasting "memory" of his mother whom he loved dearly...
