Manage episode 386057557 series 3372828
Parents will often say to children, "Don't worry, it isn't real" when it comes to a scary monster in a movie. But the most terrifying monsters walk among us every day. And I can assure you, Misfits, they are VERY real. Today we’re talking about gruesome serial killer Ed Gein - a.k.a. The Butcher of Plainfield - and the movies his story inspired, including: Psycho, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Silence of the Lambs. Eek.
