Killers aren't evil, fanged beasts that come out at night to prey on the innocent. They're people that walk would among us everyday and we would never know it. Gacy was a birthday clown. Bundy was a "warm and loving" boyfriend who went to law school.

@@Pnk_Rckr while that is true, Bundy was more of a charismatic boy next door persona. Bundy had multiple attempts on his long time girlfriends life.

He resisted in the end and ended up saving her life moments before death.

Well after 6years she was caught and it was discovered all the kids that were "adopted" were actually now missing or never left the place.. at least in one piece. The 80% of kids were turned into soap after she killed them (usually suffercation/drowning) she'd take their body fat and churned it into soap a bit smelly soap but soap none the less.

"In a trance". Interestingly, the fact that he came up with those alibis would be a point against his legal insanity, which is an inability to understand that what he was doing was wrong in the eyes of society.

We have evil living amongst us everyday. Ed Gein was a quiet old man, but you'd never guess he was a murderer. My thing is, he actually hand crafted furniture with human skin which is so bizarre. He took pride in his art. He literally made gloves from human flesh and he actually wore real human faces (women to be exact)...You can see the influence in Silence Of The Lambs, TCM of course, Devil's Rejects, etc etc... It's crazy how one man can do all that. His house was hoarded, but he kept his mother's area fairly clean and untouched.

Y'know who else Ed Gein inspired? Robert Bloch. Who did he inspire? Alfred Hitchcock. And who came about before Leatherface? Norman Bates from Psycho! EDIT: I wrote this comment before the end of the video, lmao. Nobody ever mentions Norman Bates, and hearing you mention him made me really happy. :D Thanks for that!

[@roosterj2599]

There's a story behind the Texas Chainsaw Massacre that never seems to get covered. There was a Vietnam war vet who was out of his mind who dug up graves and made totem poles out of various body parts on the side of the highway. That was some of what inspired the movie.

[@marg6209]

Interesting as hell I'd love for you to tell us more

[@satan2024]

If you get the original film on DVD what's the director's commentary he confirms that he was trying to make a house full of Eds.

[@haroldbell213]

Did he also have a plate head.

I am glad that they talked about it because not alot of people knew it was based on a true story. Sadly I wish Shane and Ryan covered this on true crimes

[@mylamename14]

Ed is a fascinating case for nature vs. nurture. How much of his heinous behavior came from Augusta's awful, misogynistic influence, and how much was just innate to him from birth? We will probably never know, but it's pretty chilling to think about.

[@Coneyislandstarlet]

The Texas chainsaw massacre is truly one of the most terrifying films of all time what’s so scary about is because it could ACTUALLY happen like it doesn’t have ghosts or anything in it it could actually happen that’s the terrifying thing and not to mention it takes place in the middle of nowhere

[@thebeldam5823]

Ive got a story about this sicko.. In the late 1970s my uncle was using his hovercraft on some lake in Madison Wisconsin. His hovercraft was having issues, so he pulled up to the shore of this little island that was connected to the main land. His friend and him were trying to pull it onto the beach and noticed a guy sitting at a table under a tree about 100 feet away, so they yelled to him for help. The guy didn't move or say anything. My uncle walked up to him and asked for help again, and all the guy did was stare into the distance. Two doctors came running from the nearest building and took the guy away. Then one of the doctors asked my uncle if the guy said anything while he was talking to him. He said no and asked why. The doctor said "We just wanted to make sure he didn't say anything to you. Do you know who he is?" Turns out that man was none other than Ed Gein.. living his last few Schizophrenic years of life at the Mendota Mental Health Hospital. Thanks for reading my family story!

[@Twisted_gunner]

i have one too, my grandpa ended up in prison and he was in the same exsact prison he was being held in. my grandpa never spoke to him but he always walked by his cell. It's kinda creepy to know you're in the same prison with a person who tears people's skin off. my grandpa said to my dad "he was off his walker" and he definitely was not wrong about that

[@madtownangler]

That was at Mendota Mental Health. You can walk out to the point and go fishing there now. There are a couple old sheds out there with Ed Gein sayings written on them whenever I've gone out there

[@weirdral]

I find it interesting that they had to remove his gravestone and the gravestone of his mother because people either kept leaving gifts or people would come and destroy it.
