And Ed Gein, who is known to be, like, he is the basis for a lot of the very monstrous things that we see in horror movies.

Halloween, Leatherface, Psycho being really the very first kind of horror horror movie from Alfred Hitchcock.

Silence of the Lambs, I think, just kind of really rips off Ed Gein's story for the most part.

That's right.

Yeah.

It does, and then it throws in some very interesting characters and brings it to the 21st century.

And Silence of the Lambs is a truly fantastic movie.

If you haven't seen it, it made a lot of news at the time when it came out.

It was on everybody's lips.

It was just the movie that you had to see because it's, at that time, kind of indescribable what goes on in that movie.

Now, we've seen this storyline play out a million other times since then.

Sure.

But the...

Cross-dressing, making masks out of skins, making whole costumes out of skins, lampshades, ashtrays out of dead body parts, necrophilia.

They kind of this repression of a certain kind of sexuality along with an overbearing mother figure turned and schizophrenia turned Ed into a monster himself.

And his story in and of itself is,

He's not the worst serial killer we've ever seen.

The things that he did with the bodies, dead or alive or in between when he did it.

And he didn't kill a ton of people.

What he did was he was really into necrophilia and the fascination with dead people and their skins and their bones, and he just didn't look at them like people.
