In November 1957, the world was introduced to a new form of horror. Edward Gein's story and the macabre items found in his home influenced some of the most terrifying films ever made including Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho and Tobe Hooper's Texas Chainsaw Massacre as well as many others. Using autospsy reports, first-hand accounts, and police records Jon Perry will attempt to break down the walls of Ed Gein's house of horrors and discover what truly makes a monster.

In this episode Jon describes many of the macabre items found in Ed Gein's home. Plus, we look into the Ghoul's childhood and ask how a personality so deviant could ever emerge.
