Meet America's Psychopath King, Ed Gein. Two movies, precursors to two genres, were based on his exploits: Psycho and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Ed once joked that he had a "collection of shrunken heads" at home but no one thought he was dead serious.
As a child Ed grew under the watch of his dominating, Bible thumping mom. Once she died, he masturbated over her cadaver and got busy working on what would turn him into the Van Gogh of Crime. Ed wasn't too sure about his sexuality. First he considered cutting off his dick, then thought about a sex change operation. Finally he settled on grave robbing and a strange type of transvestite necrophilia. To become a woman he would carve out the genitalia of female cadavers and wear them over his own.
Ed had a knack for fashion and home decorations. In his farm he built The Sistine Chapel from Hell. A devout recycler, he found uses of all parts of the anatomy. He had a belt made of nipples, a skin vest that he wore on special occasions, mobiles made out of noses, skulls on his bedposts, cranial bowls for soup, drums made of skin, and the beat goes on. His strangness was uncovered when police came knocking on his door investigating the disapperace of a storekeeper.
Although he was only offically linked to two murders, a couple of "fresh" vaginas were found in his house that could not be matched to his known victoms or any cemetary records. He was also suspected of killing two other men who disappeard near his farm. Many have tallied greater numbers than Ed, but few acheived his degree of weirdness.
