About this listen

Episode 2 of Serial Killer Ed Gein: Hollywood’s Real Horror Story—The Gein Template: How One Man Shaped Horror’s DNA—explores how Ed Gein’s crimes permanently rewired the horror genre. From Psycho to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Gein’s influence birthed tropes like the isolated farmhouse, the monster next door, the toxic mother, and grotesque body horror. His real-life atrocities made the ordinary terrifying and redefined what horror “looks like.” The episode traces how Gein’s legacy permeates film, TV, music, games, and pop culture, blurring fiction and reality while raising unsettling ethical questions about turning real tragedy into entertainment.
