- This serial killer wore the skin of his victims and even created bizarre souvenirs out of their bodies. In this true crime documentary, we're covering the chilling true story of Ed Gein, a case that has inspired a number of horror movies. While you've most likely already seen them, you were probably blissfully unaware that these horror films were inspired by real events. From Buffalo Bill in Silence of the Lambs to Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Ed Gein's story inspired a number of terrifying films. Detectives who entered Ed Gein's home never could have possibly expected what they were about to discover, and the investigation that followed was disturbing. Join us for a true crime storytime covering the solved case of Ed Gein.

When you realise that the bad guy from The Silence of the Lambs was real.
Orpan / Alcira and movies like *HOSTEL*
I do believe the mother was the real monster in the story and her children were just ponds
My neighbor was a cannibal. He always had the best cookouts. Real good steak.
It rubs the cream on its skin😨
@I'm Just Me put the f*cken lotion in the basket! 😂🤣
Something common in most of the serial killer stories is their upbringing. Either or both their parents have toxic ways. A lesson of how important parenting is!!
I second this. As a psych major I've learned A LOT about the brain and how our early life determines the path we will most likely take. Our personalities/who we are to the core is formed by the time we are 7-9 (usually by 7 though, depends on the child). Whenever you see serial killers or others that do really awful things it's usually a good indicator that they went thru some SERIOUS SHIT at a very young age. Same thing with mental health disorders, particularly DID (dissociative identity disorder), hardcore trauma usually prior to the age of 7-8, results in the mind spilting off and forming separate people/beings in the brain. The brain does this as a defense mechanism to protect itself from experiencing what it knows the person can't handle thus, by creating different people/personalities to hold that trauma and pain. The brain is a crazy thing!
Not always, there is a big difference between a phiscopath and a sociopath, its not always the upbringing sometimes its nature, but its the old debate between natrue and nurture
@@valtyrberzerk8990 there is a huge difference between the two. One is the born that way (psychopath) the other us formed into one (sociopath). Psychopaths can't help that they're born with certain genes. Sociopaths on the other hand are molded into what they become, specifically by their upbringing. That may be include nature vs nurture but it doesn't change the simple fact that sociopaths are what they are because of how they were raised.
Nature Vs Nurture. Jeffrey Dahmer was loved by both parents who were still together so he had a pretty stable home life. In Dahmer's case, it definitely wasn't a case of Nurture by an overbearing parent. He was just a psycho
@@bwang4005 Everything you just explained in your first comment is subjective, wouldn't you agree(since you're a psych major) that people with multiple personality disorder have a mental disorder? "Someone who is not capable of handling day to day life".
Alcoholic Father and Religious Fanatic Mother 💀 what a perfect combination
That's a common comment in these types of videos, but the truth is you're excusing his behavior and blaming it on his parents. On the same note, if his father had been a serial killer and his mom a rapist, and he turned out to be normal your comment wouldn't make much sense would it?
@@christiewooten4488 It was 100% their parents' fault.
@@catscanhavelittleasalami Nah. Take a look at Jeffrey Dahmer, and other more prolific serial killers. The list goes on. It's easy to say "people aren't born evil". But the simple fact remains, there are evil people.
@@christiewooten4488 Dahmers parents seemed fucked up from what I've seen so what's your point?
A perfect combination for trauma. And everybody processes and copes with trauma in their own way. Some ways, are a little less violent. But trauma begets trauma. It's effects on a child's brain and psyche are immense. 100% this was a combination of trauma, poor socialisation, social isolation and mental health issues. The perfect storm for terrible things to happen.
Ed wasn't the only one killing. This narrator murdered his last name.
Came here to say the same thing. 😂
@@AnthonyToddCat me too
OMG Thank you its driving me nuts lol good video until you hear him say that last name, kills it hahaha dont even know how you get "guyn" out of Gein
If it is a German name then it would be the correct way.
@@riel65ify As a Dutch person, it was my first instinct to say it like that, too. Like Weinberg (Wineberg) or maybe more like "vein".
I assume it's "gean"?
when I was a kid, I remember my dad and his friend talking about chairs and lampshades made out of human skin that they heard about in the news - at the time, I thought they were talking about nazis during the war but now I think they were talking about this story
@@joejones9520 you are weird xd
@@joejones9520 totally should have. If by chance I ever have a limb amputated I want at least part of the bone fashioned to be part of a decorative weapon. They're cool as hell
Still wrong story. It’s another serial killer.
@@YourPalKindred why make it decorative? I would love using a knife made from human bone in daily life. I wonder if human bone is better for kitchen or woodworking knives?
You have never been a kid. You was born in a test tube as an adult. I was there I know!! You dont know anything. Go home and stay there. Im not your wife anymore. This marriage is over!! Do you hear me, ITS OVER!!!
NOTE TO EWU: Even though "Guyne" (like "nine") is phonetically how you'd say it, the family pronounced their last name "GHEEN" (like "bean"). Ed Gein clarified this himself in an interview at least once. These videos are great and this narrator rocks. I'm surprised by how many people seem not to have heard of The Plainfield Ghoul.
The first and only down to earth comment about the pronunciation XD
Was literally abt to comment this 😂
Lol, I was rolling at the narrator's pronunciation. Your explanation was great.
It's painful to hear it mispronounced. But what are you going to do?
Came here to see if anyone had pointed this out. I was correct lol.
The real horror here is that he asked for Apple pie with CHEDDAR CHEESE on top??!?!?
It sounds nasty but believe it or not it's really good. Melt the cheese on top of the pie.
I was thinking the same thing lol 😝
Its common in some parts of the US.
It’s a very Wisconsin thing. We like our cheese! Lol
My ex-husband’s family ate their apple pie like that, I never got brave enough to try it, it always grossed me out 🤢
What is scary is all the serial killers and psychos that are never caught...
There are loads of missing persons every year. Many are never solved. The people "just vanish without a trace". You know dang well that people don't just vanish without a cause. If they are never found, someone or something killed them. If an animal did it, usually some form of remains are eventually found. If a serial killer did it, you will never find the body unless they screw up or just don't care.
Your neighbor could secretly be a serial killer. One of your family members could secretly be a serial killer. Even your best friend could be a serial killer. The usual undoing of serial killers seems to be them running out of good places to hide the bodies or getting sloppy. With the internet being a big thing today, one could find all the information they need to dispose of a corpse in a way so that nobody ever finds it. Once a missing person case gets cold enough, it's very unlikely much effort will be put into it anymore. The killer gets away with murder and carries on with their life as if nothing ever happened. If smart, they will space out their killings and/or put distance between the killings and/or lay low after a killing as to not arouse suspicion. They would likely also prepare solid alibis.
You seem to know alot about serial killers and how they get to work 🤔
Might goodness! This is so true thow!

so what if im a serialkiller?
Thanks for the advice
I grew up with a very rough childhood but the only thing taught me is to be a very good parent.
Yep you’re normal then. 😊👍🏼
I did too I grew up with abuse. It just made me a better parent.
Facts bro
Yeah, his brother had the same upbringing but seemed normal. I fully believe you have to have a certain…something inside you to begin with. Something you’re born with. Coupled with a bad upbringing, causes chaos. But also, people have gone psycho with a normal childhood.
What, no nipple belt?
Ed Gein isn't the only nightmare to come from a religious fanatic mother and alcoholic father... Sheldon Cooper had a similar backstory. Truly terrifying.
this is a genius joke

LMAOOO oh my god this is the funniest comment I've ever seen
Man ate pie with cheese if I was the detective I would have fabricated an extra charge just for that
😆
😂😂😂 That’s funny as hell!
One of his most heinous crimes tbh.
Totally uncalled for.
Like chili and cinnamon rolls

He used to be a Mall Santa here and one of my mom’s friends has a picture of herself as a child sitting on his lap.
This is absolutely insane
Great Day in the morning!😰
😱😱😱 - the ghoul as Santa😲😵😵
That’s terrifying
I call BS. No way is that true.
He also made the doorbell out of a nipple and a nipple belt. He also had a pot where he'd boil the internal organs of those he killed and dug up. I don't know he did cannibalization but I know the pot is at Zak Bagans horror museum in Las Vegas. I also wonder if Rob Zombie was a bit inspired by Ed Gein when he made the movie House Of A Thousand Corpses.
Yup. He's included in the 'Murder Ride'👌🏻
@@immachine1565 🤣🤣 Well, considering he was a mama's boy he was probably still attached to her nipple it was just that she was dead. Who knows all of what he did to those bodies he dug up and the women he killed. We know what eventually happened to them but being alone in that freaky farm, he could have been doing God knows what.
@@immachine1565 Wait what? Someone made a smoothie or someone made someone else into a smoothie? I cannot stand when they let people off because of insanity and they're released because they were institutionalized and they're on meds now. It's like that guy that killed another guy on the bus that was full of people. He mutilated and ate him for everyone to see. He went into an institution for a few years. He had been on meds but decided to stop taking them. He was put back on meds and then released back into public. Like WTF?! I cannot imagine how that young man's loved ones feel knowing the man that brutally murdered him is out there free as a bird living his life while their son is dead. SMH
I love that movie
@@deenostar3367 What exactly is it that we don't play? Ed Gein was an American, so we played all he did but not the sociopath eating someone on a bus? Do we not play Jeffrey Dahmer either? Or John Wayne Gacy? Or Ted Bundy? Or Richard Ramirez? Or Rodney Alcala? We have our own share of f**ked up in this country too. IJS 🤷🏻♀️
The name Gein was actually pronounced Geen.
When my wife was a young child living in Wisconsin, her Dad would threaten her and her sibs "If you kids don't shut up I'm gonna drop you off at Ed Gein's house!'
Gosh charming Not!! Fancy threatening your children with that!
What the real life Ed Gein did, was far more gruesome than any movie portrayed of him and his actions.
Imagine what could have been the smell like inside the house when the officers barged in.
That depends. It also depends on how long the actual kills where there for and in what weather. Like the poor woman that was being prepared for use. As for the other.. If properly cleaned and treated. Not much at all if any. Kind of like books made with human leather.. As well as a few other things of that kind. Morbid curiosity can be a strange thing really.
like fresh pastries 🥰
Like burnt ear wax
BBQ chop pork
Unimaginable
😬😬🤢🤮🤮🤮
Ed Gein also inspired Silence of the Lambs. The book is truly terrifying. Also: It's pronounced like "Green" with just the "r" dropped.
Depends. If it's German as it looks, it's Gain. If some other background, it could be geen. I've heard both ways and always wondered. But if it comes from German, it's Gain.
Thank you!! It was making my eye twitch😑
He said it was about 50/50 how people pronounced it, but he and his family pronounced it "Geen "
@@godwarrior3403 they pronounce it "Geen" in this particular family.
I was wondering why he was calling Ed Gain by the wrong name.
I'm a Wi resident and he is one of the reasons my parents raised my sisters and I to be vigilant.
Jesus that’s kinda scary
Please!🙏 Go get help now!.😵🙏
I’m from wisco also 🙏🏻
Cool Story bro
It's been strongly believed Gein killed his brother when he was a kid. His brother was always the mummy's boy out of the two although Henry (brother) wasn't as affectionate towards their mum as Ed was.... which drove Ed nuts. A fire broke out in the woods on their property and his brother perished in that fire. Some of the townspeople knew Ed wasn't quite right in the head..had homicidal tendencies.. and blamed him for the fire and death. Many, though, believed he was a great help to anyone in need. It couldn't be proven but they believed his brother was his very first victim.
Edit - I saw that in the video about 5 minutes after posting my comment. Good to see somebody actually mention the so-called "accidental" death of his brother👌🏻
Henry also was known to flit and flirt about girls which was strictly forbidden in their household
Agreed, seems too coincidental
@@adriannawelch6990 Yeah..his mum made him wear a peg tightly pinched on the end of his doodle to let him know that's how an STD would feel. Very bizarre.
@@leightonrud66 Especially seeing as he took them directly to his brother's body. All that acreage and he "somehow" knew exactly where his body lay.
Over-embellished and incorrect on a number of points. And it was never "strongly believed" Henry was murdered, and no one at the time thought Ed had "homicidal tendancies'; the polar opposite, in fact.
Ed Gein: **Hates women**
Also Ed Gein: **Pretends to be a woman**
Bioling everything down to "X hates women" is very overgeneralising. He had a lot of resentment to his mother but also loved her and couldnt cope with her death. He wanted to become/bring to life his mother. He became very delusional and saw his mother in every Women.
If he really would hate women his behaviour in the mental facility would be very different. You can read statements about it yourself and make up your mind.
Sounds like the freemasons in my country
They hate women a d yet live dressing in drag and even talking and behaving like women. How strange is that that alot of so called " men " especially canadian men hate women and yet like to emulate women in every way Smells like jealousy to me, both scary a d disturbing🤪😂🤣👎
@@derstoffausdemderjoghurtis r/wooosh
@@elizabethbower7518 I don’t think men in drag usually hate women, idk maybe don’t generalize. But then again I don’t know specifics of who you’re talking about
@@beelzemobabbity pretty sure she was saying it's either hate or obsession and both are weird for the men who dress in drag.
Ed killed a few, but he mostly dug up graves. He needed the skin.
he killed two women, the second was the mother of a policeman, Ed Gain was the last person to enter the shop she worked at before she when missing, whet to his home and the son found his mother hung by her feet being gutted like a deer. before this, nobody had any idea that a monster lived among them.

@@SeanLain LMFAO
@@SeanLain no its "it puts the lotion on the skin or else it gets the hose again"
The human mind is so intriguing when it come to people like this. How can someone spiral down this far? Another good on EWU Crew! 👍🏻
It's a thirst that grows inside of you. Once you let that monster out it ain't no going back and you have to satisfy that desire more and more with each encounter getting worse and worse.
To be fair he only killed two people. He just robbed a lot of graves. Did he have s weird hobby? Sure. But lots of people have done a lot worse.
Don't know. But all the other versions of this isn't too close to the true story, is it? :/ I always thought it was kind of funny how the dad was supposed to be the sheriff, the detective, the son, the husband, all the stores owner, conveniently also owns the 1 gas station in town, the city commissioner, the judge, the attorney, the entire population,,,, ok im exaggerating but oh sh "son", you're fd. 😖😲.
I remember my older bro having a sleep over & they rented alotta horrors. I wanted to watch w/ them but my bro got all aggravated. My dad was giggling about like she's not even bothering anyone. Let her watch. My selective self was like 😧 wth r they watching. Kind of but not really skipping over how many horror movies I watched. Sometimes memorizing lines even. These were jocky dudes, & idk specifically what 1 dude was saying but I guess just trying to creep me out that the popo was the killer & it was a true story. I mean, mind u, I never saw tm till then & I was like na uh. I know that dude eventually became a cop himself.
@@ahhwe-any7434 wtf are you talking about?

just remember Ed Gein is pronounced Ed Geen (like green) *not* like line
@@pamelarose2177 it's free on TH-cam rn
The best portrayal of Ed Gein was Alfred Hichcock's "Psycho" (1960).
Accurate
She believes women will lead them down a path of sin, but what she didn't realize was that SHE was the woman leading him there. A cruel twist of irony as she embodied the saying "one often meets his destiny on the road he took to avoid it" -Jean de la Fontaine
Her interpretation was arbitrary and self serving.
No one seems to know horror movies come from sick events that have happened in real life. Well most of them.
Pirates fan? Just curious, and hello from the Burgh!
Michael Myers, It, and Friday the 13th etc.
They don't understand that the real horrors are actual true fact, and not fit for normal people to watch.
It's always toned down for mass consumption.
It was psyko that was the movie about this case
I strongly suspect based off his reaction to the house burning up and the extent of his crimes, there were way more victims then we'll ever know about.
There weren’t any other missing persons at the time this happened in Wisconsin. Just because someone kills 2 women doesn’t mean there’s others.
@@danielleblanzy3776 He was considered as the suspect for another missing woman named Evelyn Hartley who was missing since 1953 in Wisconsin. We don't really know if he was involved, but there is always a possibility.
I don't. He was pretty straightforward with telling everything.

There were 2 victims- possibly his brother Henry - that was it.

Every one of them capable of cruelty and murder given the right circumstances..
So crazy. I grew surrounded by Ed Gein...literally. I lived in Hancock, WI, just outside of Plainfield and went to school in Wautoma, WI. The house I grew up in was not far from where the farm was, where all this happened. To top it off, my dad's business is located in Plainfield and when I used to go over there, I would drive past the hardware store every day and even had to go there several times to buy stuff for my dad. Crazy enough, the town hadn't changed much visually from when this happened. To top it all off, during show and tell one day in grade school, one of my classmates, whose grandfather was the arresting officer, brought in Ed Gein's actual hat. The one you see in all the pictures. We even had a class trip where we toured the old jail and saw the cell Ed stayed in, and where his name was etched into the wall. It was something we all grew up with.

@johnjackson5047 bro made up a whole story just to get a few TH-cam likes 😭🤦♂️ if this isn't pathetic I don't know what is
In the middle of nowhere, around every corner, lurks evil. The most normal looking homes could be the breeding grounds for heinous crimes. You never know who could possibly be the epitome of a demon like individual. Scary isn't it? Keep your heads on swivels and be aware of your surroundings. Be safe all.
I was shown a home for sale that was listed “as is”. There were dead animals, mostly birds, nailed to every wall in varying states of decomposition. I asked the realtor if the police had been alerted, thinking the owner must be crazy and dangerous. She look surprised I would ask and then asked me, well are you interested? My ex even contemplated it. I said he’ll no!

Your name sounds very Dutch
@@tyrastarrweaver the real life story of Ed Gein was the inspiration for "Texas Chainsaw Massacre ".
It's interesting to see how many people never heard of Ed Gein; maybe it's a generation thing. Also, Ed Gein pronounced his last name differently. Although Willem Dafoe also mispronounced his own name in his early 20s then started using the correct one so.. Oh and, the Theodore character from Prison Break also based on Ed Gein, whose Christian given name is Edward Theodore Gein by the way.
Thank you, that "GYNE" thing was driving me mad XD
Yea I heard about ed gein when i was young. He was quite the weirdo. Back then though there were alot more of these things that drowned him out. People say murder is on the rise these days that eclipse the times of old... But they are full of it.
I had never heard of him tho ive lissend to the album "obey" by brainbombs. Which uses his face on album cover. Ive also seen silance of the lambs. Watching this made me relise where all that came from. Maybe its for the best people dont really know about Ed Gain. He is a ruthless killer afterall and what good does it do to know about him and what he did?... im also 21 year old 🇸🇪 so i dont feel like i should have known about him..
@@gabrielkarlsson3946 exactly how i felt about the case of Katie Pladl. i didn't need to know about that!!
Thanks Dr. History
Ed's legend is much bigger than his body count. He mostly was a grave robber, yet inspired many movie characters, Bates, Leatherface, BB, etc and even one of my favorite Slayer songs, "Dead Skin Mask".
The human mind when it is damaged you will see some of the most intriguing things and quite scary at the same time. When I worked in Psychiatry I have seen things that would make you question your occupation, but it was that which inspired me to stay and find out what I could do to help them. I think I would have a hard time with this man if I was his psychiatrist. he would have been an interesting man to study and ask why he did what he did and we have seen with his past it dictated his future. Weird guy and I hope the families that were victimized are at peace.
In my final years of high school, I'm going back 15 years now. (I'm from the UK) I always wanted to become a criminal psychologist. I read so much about ed, and other serial killers. I'm surprised more people wasn't aware of who this man is, I still find his case nauseating to hear/read about even now,
I was surprised that people didn't know about him as well. My senior year of high school (in texas) I took a psychology class where we talked about serial killers. Ed was mentioned in the lesson and we discussed him and countless others in class. I thought it was more common to learn about these kinds of things in schools, but now I'm just wondering if I had a cool teacher 😂 well, he definitely was cool. But I guess he was even cooler than I had realized. I graduated in 2015.
Same. I have so so much useless serial killer knowledge. My boyfriend will randomly text me any time he wants to know something about a serial killer. I've been fascinated with them since I was little. I could talk for hours about them. Especially Jeffrey Dahmer. For some reason he really fascinated me.
@@jenniferjones8453oh your not the only girl homegirl It’s really interesting tbh

My grandpa told me about this story as we passed through on our way up north when I was little here in Wisconsin.
ED Gein has inspired many of our favorite horror movies like Silents of the Lamb, American Psycho, Texas Chainsaw Massacre ect... but it's crazy how he went about things in real life grave robbing, cutting body parts, eating them and turning them into furniture and a body suit and trinkets...
He just didn't want to see them go to waste.
@@TheIrishRushinNo, dude was obsessed with his mom, he turned the obsession into dead bodies after she died, digging deeper into the psychology of this I’d say he watched his mom die and became fascinated with the transition from life to death. At first I thought it could be hatred towards women because his mom died but I don’t think it was this, it was like his brain needed something else to obsess over. I’d LOVE to all the files kept on his mental health!
My favorite movies are true stories.🍿
I went to visit The Gein's family old farmhouse property. The farmhouse has been burned down and it was just a wooded area with woods, but I got some of the wood from the burnt remains. When we were going back to our car a group of 3 huge wild dogs chased us and bit at my leg. It was horrifying!! The cemetery plots are all listed with his family's names, all except Ed's as I remember. The hardware store was still open. It was an Interesting visit anyway.
The town didn't like the tourist it brought and agreed to burn it down. Careful cus everyone is strapped too and they don't hesitate to shoot and ask questions after. I been through there on my way up north but didn't get out to look around.
When you stopped at the store did you purchase implements, seeds, paints or hardware? Im asking because thats whats written on the window. Is it still written on the window? Gosh i hope you got implements seeds, paints and hardware.... Would have come in handy with the dogs, you know, the implements. And maybe the hardware. Shit, paint too, maybe. Seeds? Maybe wouldnt have helped you with the dogs, but hey, maybe at the very least some puuurty little tulips when yoy got home. Im kind of jelly. I would have liked that trip very much🌷

Why would you take any of the burned Wood!?

Oooooo yes!!! Just finishedd my own research on him a couple months ago and so happy to find this video! They turned this guy's life into so many different horror movies. This is for all those "It's just a movie" people
I absolutely adore the use of words in this channel. They can take something so simple, like how it just turned winter, into something that makes me feel like I’m listening to a Stephen King audiobook. Truly sets the atmosphere into these horrifying stories. EWU is such an amazing channel, and I don’t think that I’ll be watching anyone else tell a true crime story ❤
This is Bates Motel,Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Silence of the Lambs all in one.
Great vid and very insightful. You present more facts than any other documentary of Ed Gein that I've seen. Excellently produced! I've always heard his last name pronounced "GEEN" though. Great job!
A lot of TH-camrs say words wrong intentionally so people comment more telling them how it's pronounced. All the comments help l push the content
Who the hell would allow this guy to babysit?!?!
Anyone, um cause outside he was a shy man.
I mean he legit would do more work then he needed to do.

The 'real life' Texas Chainsaw Massacre:
Not based in Texas
Did not utilise a chainsaw
Was not a massacre
I read Deviant by Harold Schechter long ago. The book showed very good how Gein was completely isolated in his own mind.
You could almost feel his loneliness on that messed up farm, where nothing mattered but his twisted fantasies. He was just beyond good and evil.
Scary. There's stuff he made with the flesh of his victims in a museum somewhere if it's still there.!!
How Wicked is that - there definately is an audience for these "memorabilia" (Ewwwww😲) and there are Avid proud collectors out there - go figure...
They weren't victims he robbed graves for his skin samples.
When the local oddball jokes about the body at his house.....it's not a joke...
im surprised he didn't kill more that 2 people and his brother is a grey airier cos he may or may not of killed him during that forest fire.
@@eleanormorrey2164 for fuck sake there is more pressing things in the world to worry about than stupid FUCKING SPELLING MISTAKE.
What most people dont realize, is that people like this still exist. And there are likely many people just like him who still havent been caught
Unfortunately, you’re right
Yeah it's obvious, how do you think soo many people around the world disappear without a trace , who knows one could be lurking somewhere around the world at this very moment hunting for his next victim as we speak
I watched many videos from this channel. This video made me a subscriber. Your narration style truly resonates when this this story, at least the way you told it here. I hope you put out more content like thisn
A true hunter don't waste anything, once there done everything has been used.. crazy to think he applied that to humans.. just sick
I think he killed his brother on purpose making it look like an incident also his mother screwed up his mind and turned him crazy
I actually hate horror movies but I love true crime as long as it’s not super gory.

Me too
I’m the same way @WoolyKittyHaven. I also watch the paranormal and ghost hunting videos from various people on here
Me too
same
I don't know what I was expecting but that was so disgusting it made me legit sick. 🤢
I can't believe I still watch these stories at night in bed. I should be watching in broad daylight
Strangely I dont get the creeps from true crime. I do get them from rather trashy thrillers^^
Yes another video!! I'm always excited when you guys post great job EWU!
Ed Gein is def in my top 5 Serial Killers
@@michellelammi787 www.history.com/this-day-in-history/real-life-psycho-ed-gein-dies
@@michellelammi787 Though by definition, a serial killer is labeled by killing 3 or more people at different times...Ed Gein has been well documented as a serial killer. In fact, he has made the top 10 in many publications such as the history channel, etc.
The real Texas chainsaw massacre.
And Buffalo bill
And Psycho norman bates
I wish they wouldn’t have called it the “Texas”chainsaw massacre. It wasn’t even in Texas…
@@lindseyking7875 it's not a documentary, it's fictional, he could write it wherever he wanted. Florida would have been a logical choice, too. Texas just sounds cooler...
@@Nosferata138 Agree, sounds like a Florida thing.
This guy narrates, so well! He does many TH-cams. So articulate. It isn't computer generated, is it?
I was wondering the same thing.
Not only did I think about The Texas Chainsaw Massacre throughout the video, I also thought about Norman Bates and his weird mommy issues. Great video!
Yeah, He was the inspiration for Norman Bates & Psycho. I think Hitchcock made the first film inspired by Gein…probably the most famous too.
@@mr.mirchenstein6549 that's awesome! And only a few minutes after I wrote my original comment, the narrator mentioned Norman Bates lol now I want to watch that movie again
@@JuanCarabajal Bates Motel is really f’ing good too!
Ed Gein was the inspiration for Hannibal Lecter, Buffalo Bill, Leatherface, and Norman Bates.
Great vid!! Last name is pronounced "Geen" Born and raised in Minnesota, you did a great job. There is a lot of horror movies that mimic. If you think about it Psycho was made in 1960.. Gein, Norman loved his mother way too much. As did Gein, then you get Wild Bill. Leather face, H.H Holmes (Jack the ripper) well before Gein. Crazy if you think about it. Added: I made this comment before I finished the video lol. Now I see at the end you already pointed it out lol
Yes!! I was gonnA say it’s like “Geen”
Every upload is better than the last, thanks for all yalls hard work, and never stop making these, pls!!!
Strangely enough I'm watching Silence of the Lambs at the moment.
Such a great movie. I watched it myself earlier this week after so many years. 😊
That’s a great movie 🎥. Love it 😍
Lies
Great movie!!
15:45 Ed Gein collected Startling Detective magazines. Then in 1958 he was in the magazine, ironic.
There is a great museum in Savannah, Georgia with actual evidence from his house. It's got an entire display/replica house with different items from the trial and one of his "trophies".... it's disturbing but fascinating at the same time! I recommend highly!
I've read so much on Eddie Gein & have talked to Frank Serles' grandson about this case as Frank was one of the sheriff's first at the scene. From what I've read & gathered, its a sad story how Augusta screwed up Eddie's life right from the start. I'm not saying it's an excuse for what he did, but can't help but wonder if he could have had a real life if she had died early on in Eddie's life...
there's epigenetics too, no telling what weird shit he inherited that way...
Happy Holidays to EWU and the EWU crew.
I love Horror movies, but I gotta admit, the movies based on real events haunt me for at least a weekt... The last disturbing movie I watched was the human centipede... And it really was disturbing to me
Watch the plough keepsie tapes that is one of the most disturbing videos you will ever see
Anyone that is not disturbed by that nasty ass human centipede movie has some serious issues.
The really disturbing message is that we've turned this and similar events into entertainment.
well what are you watching this for?
Big ups on mentioning 'Three on a Meathook', a low-budget film from an almost never mentioned, somewhat obscure film director, William Girdler.
The movie "Deranged" was made in the late 70s about this
Wooo hooo!!! Happy sunday yall! Merry christmas to everyone! Sending love from murray Kentucky
Thank you! You too!
thank you you too! 🖤
My mother in law lives in Mayfield!
I live in Independence Kentucky
NFL Sunday !
PSL, Fl.
THEORY TIME!!!
Gein was a handyman- a person who fixes things. He's experienced in that sort of work and understands a lot of those skills- he is very well-adjusted to the idea that he can fix things. So when his mother dies he becomes unhinged, and his obsession with studying biology is part of an endeavor to "fix" his mother much like he might fix a broken piece of furniture, an activity he is well-accustomed to. The innumerable jars of organs were "spare parts" for his mother.
He preserved his mother's bedroom perfectly, so that when she came back she could resume life as normal, as if she never left.
A person who had kept his mother's room as nothing more than a mere shrine would have likely been distraught over the destruction of said shrine. Shrines are symbolic representations of a person or entity, and are supposed to be somewhat eternal. I think he would have been upset about it if it were a shrine. That said, Gein was rather calm when he was told about the fire. To me, this indicates that either the room - and the house itself by extension- either no longer served any purpose to him or that it was then worthless because the purpose it was supposed to serve would never come to fruition.
Once placed in the custody of the hospital, he knew he no longer had any chance of "repairing" his mother, so when the house burned, he responded with 'Just as well'- a remark upon the fact that the house served no further purpose and, perhaps, that if his mother couldn't live there then nobody should.
"he was a babysitter" .. is when my jaw dropped so hard 😱
How creepy I actually would be scared if I found something like this 😦
Thank you so much for making this channel! I love it!
why he didnt get the death penalty is just bizzare
He was insane. He spent years in an asylum.
@@petmomful2260 did he get out?
@@septbaaby 'After years in the asylum, he was deemed okay to have a trial. After the trial, he was sent right back to the asylum, where he spent the rest of his life.
@@petmomful2260 maybe I'm wrong but I just watched the documentary just now and they said that at first he did go to the asylum and then he got out and stood trial and then spent the rest of his life somewhere i don't remember exactly but it was the asylum right?
@@septbaaby Right.
I always been into serial killers wanting to know more why they did what they did SOME OF THERE MOTHER'S was narc,very toxic ways craxy And they came from horrible families And then you have the ones try to live a regular life And still kill on the side.
When i saw the thumbnail and title i instantly knew it was Ed Gein
Inspiration for the movie "The silence of the lambs".
I read a book years ago about Ed Gein. Talk about creepy. I had chills for a long time afterwards.
Pronounced "Geen" like green but drop the "r"
So did people drop the g from lasagna?
The lasts half of the video I found myself correcting him. I feel like they did not watch anything on him and only looked at articles on him. There is a lot of movies and documentaries on him.
I had to stop watching 5:50 in. So unprofessional. It really bugs me when people won't do their research 😒 😑 🙄 😐.
@@claudinlumpio3674 the "g" is silent.
@@terde9651 😂😂😂👏👏👏
I live in Wisconsin about 20 minutes away, my grandpa tells the story of how my great grandmother was on the list of people he had on a list to kill! Super crazy. Also from a local it’s pronounced Geen lol. Love your videos guys. Thank you!
How interesting you live 20 minutes from there...I lived about 20 minutes away from John Wayne Gacy.
Gein is pronounced similar to "keen" instead of "pain". There's an article where he was asked and he mentioned this
So what happen to the things they found? Like the things that were made out of human skin. Was it burn in the fire? Did they keep it in the museum or somewhere still preserved to this day? How did the house caught on fire? And who did it?
Good question. I wonder the same.
Hi love the videos keep up the good work
Hey
the texas chainsaw massacre comes from a culmination of ed gein and the fact the writer was in a hardware store that was incredibly busy and had though of what it would be like to just pick up a chainsaw and go to town
This guy takes “you’re a work of art “ to a whole other level!
😀
My parents were religious, and alcoholics… they were the very first people that I’ve come to hate since I was a kid. I’ve always hated school, but the only thing I liked about it was the fact that I didn’t have to be at home, or around my parents… now I’m glad they’re not apart of my life. I’m 24, a father of 2 boys, and I love knowing the fact that they’re safe and they’ll have a completely opposite childhood than what I had.
I've seen sooooo many Ed Gein docs.. but you guys kept it very entertaining. Thanks again. #EWUcrew
I love watching horror movies bcoz yes. Its not that scary since you know its "fiction" but i dont like watching horror stories that based on the true story it gives me a nightmare
This looks great! Can't wait to get home and watch this😀
Yeah!!!!!!! The Ravon narrating!!!!!! Love his voice. I simply can't get enough.
These story’s get bigger and bigger in each new telling
I live 30 to 45 miles away in Milwaukee he was also suspect in a little girl from portage and a pregnant women also he also had body parts which were found in the late 90s that 3 torso did not belong to anyone who's body was missing
That's like 155 miles....
