Starting point is 00:01:25 to crimes of passion and heartbreaking disappearances. Every Tuesday, we will be here to share these stories in a whole new light. And you can catch the show on YouTube where we will include visuals that bring the cases to life. We are calling this season Crimes of Infamy because we are going to be exploring one of our own personal obsessions horror movies. Yeah. And now I'm sure you've never wondered what a lampshade made out of real human flesh would look like. No. Or what a pair of pants made from real human legs would be like to wear. But Ed Gein did. And as horrifying and sadistic as that sounds, it is not fiction. It is disturbingly real. It's very real. If you've even dipped a

Starting point is 00:02:09 single toe into the true crime universe before, you probably have heard Ed's name mentioned, because he might be one of the most iconic and disturbed killers in American history. He's also the real life monster who inspired the iconic films like Psycho, Silence of the Lambs, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and so many more. And we'll talk more about these films right after this. So now, maybe the most infamous nod to Ed Gein is the character Norman Bates, the main character in Psycho. But before we talk about the movie, let's talk about the book, Robert Block.

Starting point is 00:02:50 So it turns out Block was writing the novel Psycho in 1958, 35 miles away from where Gein lived. And this is when all of these crimes are happening. But Block has no idea the full extent of... of Gein's history and the murders until after the book was already published. So shockingly, his character, Norman Bates, is eerily similar to Ed Gain. He was writing this book just miles from where Ed Gein was committing these atrocious acts, but had no clue.

Starting point is 00:03:19 So then this book was then adapted into a film by Alfred Hitchcock, King of Horror, in 1960. And while there are some differences, like Ed never ran a hotel like Norman Bates did, and he never killed anyone in the shower like that infamous scene in Psycho like Norman did. And Ed didn't keep the corpse of his mother in his home, although arguably he did because he did take the head into his home. Right. So the similarities that the two did share were intricate, like the sexual repression, both Augusta and Norma encouraged in their sons. They both fostered a deep emotional dependence in their children, and that led to a disturbing Oedipus complex in both men. and then also both men snapped after their mother's untimely deaths.

Starting point is 00:04:04 So this movie has so many twists and turns and other similarities to Ed Gein that we don't want to spoil it for you. But if you haven't seen it, what are you doing? Who are you? What's wrong with you? Sorry. No, no judgment. Pause this episode right now. Go watch it.

Starting point is 00:04:17 Come back. Yes. Have a movie marathon after this episode. With fava beans and kianti. Apple pie with a slice of cheese on top. Because this is absolutely one to add to your watch list. Mm-hmm. And I think all of this begs Amor.

Starting point is 00:04:29 interesting question. What's that, Karen? What's more interesting? What is it about Ed Gain and all of these real-life monsters that makes for such fascinating on-screen characters? Why are they messed up? Why are we messed up watching it? We're all a little bit messed up in the head. Thank you for listening to the start of our new show, Crimes of.
