About this listen

 In Serial Killer Ed Gein: Hollywood’s Real Horror Story – Episode 3: The Ethics of Horror, AI host Raven Thorne examines how real tragedy became cinematic legend. The episode confronts how Ed Gein’s murders of Mary Hogan and Bernice Worden inspired Psycho, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, and The Silence of the Lambs, transforming real trauma into entertainment. It questions when inspiration becomes exploitation, how victims are erased while killers are immortalized, and what ethical responsibility filmmakers and audiences share. Ultimately, it challenges listeners to remember the real people behind horror’s most enduring myths—and to demand empathy alongside art.
