Video: Serial killer – Ed Gein The Real Leatherface Serial Killer Documentary

Video: Serial killer – Ed Gein The Real Leatherface Serial Killer Documentary

February 28, 2022 Colin Lawson Comments 0 Comment

I mentioned serial killer Ed Gein in a previous post called Dark Vocations 2 – Grave Robbers. I felt the quick mention I made of Ed in that post was simply not enough.

For the benefit of those who may not be familiar with Ed’s crimes I have found the documentary that first piqued my interest in this strange little man, I highly recommend this documentary.

The video is hosted on Serial Killers World Wide channel of YouTube. Please visit their channel and subscribe to them for more great content.

Description from the Youtube channel:

Serial killer – Ed Gein The Real Leatherface Serial Killer Documentary

Edward Theodore “Ed” Gein (/ˈɡiːn/; August 27, 1906[1] — July 26, 1984) was an American murderer and body snatcher. His crimes, committed around his hometown of Plainfield, Wisconsin, gathered widespread notoriety after authorities discovered Gein had exhumed corpses from local graveyards and fashioned trophies and keepsakes from their bones and skin. Gein confessed to killing two women — tavern owner Mary Hogan on December 8, 1954, and a Plainfield hardware store owner, Bernice Worden, on November 16, 1957.

Initially found unfit for trial, after confinement in a mental health facility he was tried in 1968 for the murder of Worden and sentenced to life imprisonment, which he spent in a mental hospital. His case influenced the creation of several fictional killers, including Norman Bates of the movie and novel Psycho and its sequels, Leatherface of the movie The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Jame Gumb (Buffalo Bill) of the novel The Silence of the Lambs and Ezra Cobb of the movie Deranged.
