Welcome back to What Dwells Beneath. In Ed Gein Pt. II, host Perzival, with producer Neku, continues the descent into the fractured mind of Edward Theodore Gein. Picking up after the death of his mother Augusta, this episode traces Ed’s unraveling in rural Plainfield, Wisconsin, following the path from isolation and obsession to the crimes that would horrify a town and leave a permanent scar on American true crime. Inspired by Netflix’s Monster: The Ed Gein Story and grounded in Harold Schechter’s Deviant, we move beyond the myth to confront the truth.

This episode explores the murders, the arrest, the trial, and the disturbing legacy Gein left behind—one that reshaped horror forever and inspired characters like Norman Bates and Leatherface. ⚠️ Listener discretion is strongly advised due to graphic content and intense psychological themes.
