About this listen

 Discover the chilling true story behind cinema's most iconic killers in this deep dive into the Ed Gein case. When a Wisconsin hardware store owner vanished on November 16, 1957, investigators uncovered horrors at the Gein farmhouse that would forever change how we imagine evil—inspiring Psycho, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, and The Silence of the Lambs. This episode examines how one man's suffocating relationship with his mother created a monster hiding in plain sight, and why his crimes in a quiet town of a few hundred souls still haunt our collective nightmares nearly seventy years later.
