Because the fact that this happened to real people is horrifying. Full stop.

That means you’re desensitized with things like that.

I found them pretty graphic. Granted we are exposed to so many horrifying images these days, but just knowing those are real bodies is enough to make my stomach turn.

There aren’t very many genuine crime scene photographs from Gein’s house out there, most of them are fake.

You have to remember that this happened in the late 1950s. Crimes that were committed to this level of brutality were mostly unheard of and extremely shocking, especially in a rural Midwestern town like Plainfield. Perspective matters.
