In November 1957, police in Plainfield, Wisconsin uncovered a crime scene so grotesque it would change America forever. Inside Ed Gein’s farmhouse lay a nightmare made real—lampshades of human skin, skulls turned into bowls, and a woman’s corpse strung up like game.
What began as the search for a missing shopkeeper exposed the twisted mind of a lonely recluse whose obsession with his domineering mother drove him to grave robbing, murder, and unspeakable acts of desecration.
This is the chilling true story of Ed Gein—the inspiration behind Psycho, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and The Silence of the Lambs.
