True Crime Today
About this episode
Forget the chainsaw and the slasher mask. The true story of Ed Gein, a lonely man in Plainfield, Wisconsin, is more unsettling than any fictional horror. This true crime commentary from Hidden Killers explores the psychological profile of the man behind the infamous "Psycho" and "Leatherface" inspirations. We delve into the grotesque discoveries police made at his isolated farmhouse, focusing on the quiet, obsessive nature of his crimes and the chilling reality of his grave robbing. This isn't about gore; it's a deep dive into the psychological horror and the twisted mindset that led to the desecration of the dead. We'll discuss his profound mother fixation and analyze why this case remains so disturbing to this day. This is the real-life horror story of an individual who didn't commit a massive body count but instead became a legend of American terror through his morbid obsessions. Tune in for a respectful, detailed breakdown of one of history's most compelling and misunderstood criminal cases.
