While looking around the internet for information to post I ran across a case file of a man known as the "Butcher of Plainfield." I had never heard of him or his crimes but after I read the article I was amazed yet sickened about the crimes that this man had committed. I thought movies like Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Hannibal Lectar were totally made up but this article says that the actions of this man influenced some of the events that took place in those movies. I would enjoy one day becoming a homicide detective but running into a man like Ed Gein would be especially hard for anyone to deal with he was definately insane!
I found this extremely interesting, since we don't really talk about him as one of the most well known serial killers, and we should. This sent me on a search for information about him. I am a huge E! True Hollywood story person, and they did one on the Texas Chainsaw Massacre's and the opening to it is Ed Gein's story. I tried to find a link to it, but was unable to. E also do an investigation show where they did one on serial killers and he was a featured person. However, once again couldn't find the link to it. They also created a movie on him called "In light of the Moon" but after reading reviews I've heard it's awful acting. Here's the trailer for it though
