Get ready, today we bring you one of the darkest and creepiest big daddies of them all, the boogie man that has long haunted the American psyche, the butcher of Plainfield, the Wisconsin Ghoul: Ed Gein.

Long a subject rumors, innuendos and outright lies, we bring you the facts about the little man from Wisconsin who’d go on to inspire countless books and films, including PSYCHO, THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE and SILENCE OF THE LAMBS among others.
