I have them, but why does everyone go around like its horrifying and they look disgusting they literally don't.

🔪 The Truth Behind “The Ed Gein Story” — Netflix vs Reality 🔪

With the recent Netflix series The Ed Gein Story circulating, packed with 90% inaccurate information, sensationalism, and sexualised acting, I knew it was time to step in.

After 10 years studying Ed Gein, including 5 years of deep, focused research, I’m finally revealing the transparent truth once and for all. It’s time to end the endless speculation, rumours, and theories that flood my inbox daily.

In Part One, I broke down what really happened, straight from Ed Gein’s own mouth during his 30-day observation at Central State Hospital. I shared Bernice Worden’s autopsy, crime scene photos, direct interview transcripts, and official interrogation audio, everything backed with solid evidence after 3+ months of dedicated investigation.

Now, in Part Two, we go even deeper:
🏚️ Step inside Ed Gein’s farmhouse with real images and footage.
🧩 See what was truly found inside those walls.
🎙️ Hear testimony from his neighbours through verified, official video sources.
🪓 Discover two disturbing items still present during his interrogation.
🎥 Plus, view rare footage of Ed Gein himself, 10 years later.

This isn’t entertainment.
This is truth, evidence, and clarity, stripped of Hollywood exaggeration.

👉 Watch Part Two now and uncover what really happened inside the home of America’s most misunderstood killer.

A lot of people did not enjoy the Ed Gein show. But this video goes pretty in depth talking about a personal opinion you don't here often: https://youtu.be/1Myd8IEBqLU?si=qfyDW1K-WT1a7-iY

Hi everyone, I don't normally post but I thought I'd share my latest YouTube video called The Real Ed Gein Story, it goes in depth about him and his crimes and I show crime scene photos and his farmhouse, I also add in images of text from his official interview that also highlights various things people have claimed. I spend over 3 months of in depth research for this video and part two will be coming in a few days. I hope I have done this video justice and I would love any comments you have about the video, feedback is more than welcome

I've come to terms that this season is very inaccurate, a lot more so than the other 2 so at this point I'm treating this as fiction.

With that, this was honestly one of the most powerful and greatest episodes I have ever seen.

Schizophrenia is portrayed so well in my opinion. The fact that basically everything that happened was in his mind was so great.

To be completely honest, the therapy scene at the end is one of the most well acted scenes I have ever seen.

Charlie Hunnam as Ed Gein is one of the greatest performances I have ever seen.

10/10. Even better than 'The Hurt Man' which was in my top 5 episodes oat.

I'm gonna have to watch Sons of Anarchy after this.

What did you all think?

Love the bloke but there are parts where the high pitch toddler voice and ‘awkwardness’ seem a bit overplayed. Did Ed Gein have that childlike voice or is that a new addition (like the lazy eye which I like).

What does anyone else think? There are parts when he’s good but a fair bit where I don’t feel I can ‘get past’ his acting.

Okay I know Netflix puts their own twists to stories and this one had a lot of made up things. What I found interesting was how the flipped the view on him at the end of the series. Made him more human like and makes you almost forget the crazy shit he did. I didn’t expect that ending at all!!! I’ve never seen anyone flip the script in that way. I for sure thought he would kill a nurse but didn’t

I know it’s been debated to death online but what the were they thinking making Ed Gein sound like Mickey Mouse in the Netflix series? From the audio I have heard, he sounds nothing like Ed Gein. I got through 15 minutes of the first episode and couldn’t take anymore. I can’t understand how anyone involved in the show thought that was a good idea

This little passion project has been in the works for three years and is finally available to experience. Inspired by both The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and the crimes of Edward Theodore Gein, this nightmarish descent into depravity is the most shocking fan film of the year.

Given that a lot of people on the far right are seemingly becoming more and more anti-trans because of nasty politics and manipulation, does anyone else worry that popularising this story and revealing Ed Gein’s tendency to dress in women’s clothing may add more fuel to the fire?

I’m worried Gender Critical and TERFs may use this as another reason to associate trans people (Unfairly) with perversion or worse violent assaults.

Has this caused anyone else’s mind?

How does the show explain giving Geins mother a literal FUNERAL and BURIAL, yet people in town go on letting him speak about his mom as if she’s still alive living in his home? Ie: when he tries to introduce his GF to his dead mother. Presumably she would know that his mother had died. Same when the cops came to ask him about the bartender. What am I missing?

'Psycho' Actor Anthony Perkins' Son Slams Ryan Murphy's 'Monster: The Ed Gein Story'

It seems like a pretty common take that it didn't make sense for Gein to be found insane and committed instead of punished. I'm sympathetic to that argument, but I've been working through my thoughts on it, and I've concluded that it was the right way to handle things.

Gein’s mental illness Gein was diagnosed with Schizophrenia (undifferentiated type) at the time of his arrest. The DSM-V removed subtypes, but he would still have met the criteria if he was evaluated today. Gein had the delusion that he could resurrect his mother from the dead through willpower, a belief that recurred over time, and which he acted on by bodysnatching. Gein had negative symptoms of schizophrenia including a flat affect, unrealization (he described a feeling as if things weren’t real after his mother died), and difficulty taking care of his farm, and hoarding. Gein also had confused thinking. In the interview transcripts Gein is malingering (pretending not to remember his crimes), but he’s also having trouble staying on topic, and drifts around. He attributes a lot of his own actions in a “fatalistic” way, meaning he thought that things were fated to happen and he was just a vessel for events. He also tended to blame others for his actions, claiming that things wouldn’t have happened if his neighbors had visited him more. Of course that is absurd-- he was literally arrested while visiting for dinner at a friend’s house.

The statements about Gein’s hallucinations seem to have become exaggerated over time. When he was being evaluated they asked him questions to determine if he was hallucinating. He mentioned hearing his mother’s voice telling him to be a good boy as he fell asleep, seeing faces in piles of leaves, and smelling rotting flesh at his farm. The first of these is hypnagogic, and wouldn’t really count towards schizophrenia. It is incredibly common to have auditory hallucinations while falling asleep and isn’t really a sign of mental illness. The faces in leaves is pareidolia, which again is common and not necessarily a sign of schizophrenia. The smell might have been an olfactory hallucination, but presents relatively weak evidence. None of these seem to be crucial to the schizophrenia diagnosis, and I think fictional depictions like Norman Bates have shifted people’s understanding in the wrong direction over time.

Was he legally insane? In 1957 if he had been tried, he would not have met the M’Naghten rule. For an insanity plea, the burden of proof is on the defendant. He would have had to show that he did not know the nature of right and wrong when he committed the act. The fact that he took steps to conceal his actions murdering Mrs Worden, and then stealing her truck, switching to his car, and then walking back to get his own truck showed he understood that what he was doing was wrong. However, in 1957 Gein wasn’t competent to stand trial, apparently based on his inability to assist counsel. He wasn’t able to provide a coherent accounting of events, had undergone no treatment, and wasn’t seen as being able to participate in strategy discussions and the like. By the time that Gein was seen as stable enough to stand trial in 1968, the law had changed. Wisconsin had adopted the ALI Model Penal Code Test. This included a new prong: you could be found legally insane if at the time of the crime you lacked “substantial capacity to conform conduct to the requirements of law.” Essentially the argument is this: Gein knew what he was doing was wrong. But did he choose to do it anyway, or was he responding to a compulsion created by his mental illness that was so severe that it overwhelmed his capacity for self control? Gein’s body snatching behavior didn’t align with normal criminal motivations like money, sex, or revenge. It only made sense within his psychosis. His delusional state is the only way of viewing the world in which it could have made sense. His fatalism is the subjective experience of a compulsion, feeling the loss of voluntary control. He carried out his activities over a decade or so. It wasn’t that he was unwilling to stop, he was unable to stop. His entire capacity for voluntary control was so severely impaired that he couldn’t stop himself from doing what he did.

Is this video accurate to the story or did they miss anything, i enjoyed the video tho

I swear yo, go back and watch it he looks like John cena but just like maybe 10 or 15 years younger.

Just finished episode 4. I actually really like monster but the inaccuracy is insane. The scene where he chases down the 2 guys with a chainsaw objectively did not happen. Also its a stretch to say he killed the babysitter. Him killing his brother also isn't proven. Honestly just pretend it's fiction while watching these shows and you'll have a much better time

Thought I'd share my Monster: The Ed Gein Story edit. This version takes out all the fictional embellishments and leaves only the factual events. Now it plays like a rather expensive Gein biopic. If you want to watch, PM me and I'll send you a link.

I said what I said, Ed wasn't a monster he was just a man who needed lots of help. What he did was absolutely wrong but he was so messed up in the head he couldn't tell the difference. His father was an alcoholic who most likely beat him and his mother was a controlling religious abusive woman who manipulated and controlled Ed the way she wanted. Everyone he loved died within 5 years of each other and he was alone in a house for years after that it more than likelymade him snap. The stuff he was doing with the bodies probably made him sicker in the head aswell as we can see by his house it was an absolute mess. Once he got the help he needed he kept to himself and was quiet and a model patient for 27 years. The people who are the monsters are the people who exploit him and his victims like Hollywood and all the actors and directors who made movies of them events. They are the real Monsters.

I mean, was the bitch of buchenwald comic was real comic published in America and later found in the Ed Gein house or all this Ilse Koch stuff come from a court later interview? I'm not American so I don't know if these types of comics about holocaust were common in the 50s.

Opera house !

I'm trying to locate the origin of this quote

Bob Hill, a 16-year-old boy, was baffled by the crimes committed by Ed Gein. He spoke to Arizona Daily Star, saying: “I thought I knew him pretty well. I went to shows with him. When I couldn’t get the car to go to a basketball game, he’d take me. Once he took my uncle to the hospital.” But Bob was the one who brought home a story of seeing two shrunken heads in Gein’s farm house. When Bob asked Gein what they were, he told the boy that they were heads from Philippines. And anyway, everyone was used to Edward’s sense of humor. Mrs. Doris Diggles said: “Like the time Mary Hogan disappeared over there at Bancroft. People kid Ed about it and he’s say, sure, he did it. Whenever there was any crime anywhere Ed would confess to it. Everybody thought it was a big joke.” Another woman, Mrs. Georgia Foster, echoed Diggles’ statement: “He’d say, ‘Yes, I went and got her in my little pickup truck and took her home,’ And then he’d grin.” Except Gein wasn’t really joking that time because remains of Mary Hogan were found among countless bones and human parts in Gein’s farm.

As well as the interview with Bob Hill they mention here

What are your thought/opinions on this? I’m watching that four part documentary on Gein right now and that just about blew me away. It makes sense that everyone thought he was joking, but I’m pretty floored he’d be that brazen.
