Episode three examines Ed Gein's trial, confinement, and cultural impact. In January 1958, psychiatrists diagnosed Ed with schizophrenia and declared him incompetent to stand trial. After ten years in Central State Hospital, Ed finally stood trial in 1968, where Judge Gollmar found him not guilty by reason of insanity. Ed spent his remaining years as a model patient in psychiatric institutions until his death from cancer in 1984. He was buried beside his mother Augusta in Plainfield Cemetery. The episode explores how Ed Gein's crimes inspired Psycho, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, and The Silence of the Lambs, reshaping American horror while examining questions of mental illness, responsibility, and remembering his victims.Click here to browse handpicked Amazon finds inspired by this podcast series!https://amzn.to/42YoQGIThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Ed Gein Serial Killer The Making of a Monster
Ed Gein: Episode 1 Summary - The Making of a Monster Episode one explores Ed Gein's transformation from abused child to grave robber. Born in 1906, Ed grew up under the absolute control of his fanatically religious mother Augusta, who preached that all women except herself were corrupt. Isolated on a remote Wisconsin farm, subjected to relentless psychological abuse, Ed developed a twisted worldview. After his father's death in 1940 and his brother Henry's suspicious death in 1944, Ed lived alone with Augusta until her death in 1945. Her passing shattered Ed's reality. He sealed her rooms as a shrine while the rest of the farmhouse decayed. By 1947, Ed began robbing graves, exhuming bodies to create a "woman suit" from human skin, attempting to resurrect or become his mother.Click here to browse handpicked Amazon finds inspired by this podcast series!https://amzn.to/42YoQGIThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI
