TCM is based on the story of the serial killer, Ed Gein. Leatherface was based somewhat on Gein.

So was Hannibal Lector.

I watched In The Light of the Moon, which was the story of Ed Gein. Talk about a disturbing movie.

Actually Buffalo Bill was, not Lector.

Psycho is the movie that's most directly based on Gein.

I believe the movie "In the Light of the Moon" is the one most based on him. That movie is FVCKED UP!

Yeah, one of the few things our lovely state of Wisconsin has going for it - serial killers. Between Dalmer and Gein we've got it down pat. This may be somewhat disturbing, but I've visited Gein's gravesite in Plainfield.:)

I think History Channel broadcast a special about Ed Gein not long ago. He was a loon.

You mean the All-Hitler-All-the-Time network? I seriously doubt it:)
