Ed Gein

Do you think Zombies could be held responsible for their bloody deeds? This psychopathic murderer was no undead, but a living nightmare. Here are some atmospheric impressions of Ed Gein (Edward Theodore "Ed" Gein (August 8, 1906 – July 26, 1984)) by our illustrator TimTonic. Gein served as a blueprint for several fictional killers as Norman Bates (Psycho), Leatherface (The Texas Chain Saw Massacre), and Jame Gumb (The Silence of the Lambs). In his first trial Gein was found mentally incompetent and not guilty by reason of insanity.
