In 1957, Ed Gein's gruesome crimes of murder, grave robbing, and corpse abuse shocked the the tiny town of Plainfield, Wisconsin as well as the rest of the world, giving rise to a cottage industry of horror franchises, and serving as a grim reminder of how deep isolation, illness, and an unshakable Oedipus complex can drive some to commit some of the most depraved acts. Take a whirl in the time machine to learn more about the world in which Gein lived and operated, and perhaps separate a little bit of the fact from the fiction his story continues to inspire more than 65 years later.
