7: Ed Gein

Send a text message to the show!In 1957, Ed Gein's gruesome crimes of murder, grave robbing, and corpse abuse shocked the the tiny town of Plainfield, Wisconsin as well as the rest of the world, giving rise to a cottage industry of horror franchises, and serving as a grim reminder of how deep isolation, illness, and an unshakable Oedipus complex can drive some to commit some of the most depraved acts. Take a whirl in the time machine to learn more about the world in which Gein lived and operated, and perhaps separate a little bit of the fact from the fiction his story continues to inspire more than 65 years later.Patreon, Socials, Merch, and More:https://linktr.ee/warpedcortexmediaAdditional Music:"Aquarium" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"Infinite Peace" Kevin MacLeod (freePD.com)Resource Links:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Geinhttps://allthatsinteresting.com/ed-gein-househttps://allthatsinteresting.com/augusta-wilhelmine-geinhttps://www.denofgeek.com/movies/the-real-texas-chainsaw-massacre-how-ed-gein-inspired-classic-horror-movies/https://hannemanarchive.com/tag/augusta-gein/https://www.amazon.com/Deviant-Shocking-Story-Original-Psycho/dp/0671025465https://collider.com/errol-morris-werner-herzog-ed-gein-documentary/  Support the showCredits:Main Theme Music -- Ken DicksonMain Graphics -- Nathaniel Dickson
