Episode 10: The Butcher of Plainfield - Ed Gein
He wasn’t a prolific killer—but Ed Gein changed the face of horror forever.
In 1950s small-town Wisconsin, police uncovered a farmhouse filled with human remains—furniture made of skin, skulls turned into bowls, and a “woman suit” sewn from corpses.
The man behind it all?
A quiet handyman with a twisted obsession rooted in childhood trauma and a disturbing attachment to his mother.
In this episode, we break down the crimes, psychology, and cultural legacy of Ed Gein—the real-life inspiration behind Norman Bates, Buffalo Bill, and Leatherface.
