Summary

Ed Gein is often billed as "one of the most infamous and evil serial killers of all time". He's known as “The Butcher of Plainfield”, “The Plainfield Ghoul”, and my fave, “grandfather of gore".

This week, Ash tells Michelle all about his crimes, and how his story has inspired countless Hollywood characters, movies and shows including: Anthony Perkins in Psycho, the character of Leatherface in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and many more. He had major mommy issues and made furniture out of skin. Y'all know the story, it's an oldie but goodie!
