I love horror movies, but when I watch them I don’t necessarily think about if they are based on true events or not. But what if I told you that some of the darkest horror movies like Psycho, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, and The Silence of the Lambs were all based on the actions of one man.

So get comfortable my spooky friends…you are about to hear the tale of the murderous Ed Gein. But be aware: In today’s episode we will be talking about childhood abuse, murder, and desecration of both grave sites and bodies. Listener discretion is advised.
