This three-part true crime series examines Ed Gein, whose 1957 arrest in Plainfield, Wisconsin revealed unimaginable horrors. Investigators discovered a farmhouse filled with human remains fashioned into household objects: skulls as bowls, lampshades from skin, furniture upholstered with human tissue, and a "woman suit" Ed wore to transform himself into his deceased mother. Host Raven Thorne traces Ed's transformation from an abused child under his domineering mother Augusta's control, through decades of grave robbery and two admitted murders, to his trial and lifelong psychiatric confinement. The series explores how Ed Gein's crimes inspired Psycho, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, and The Silence of the Lambs, forever changing American horror culture.
