I started this thread on the o board and have had different responses or opinions as to what or how they thought it would be. I think it will be better than the 1st one and since it's Halloween. I'm gonna go see it just to keep up the halloween tradition of seeing a scary movie. I'm not a big movie buff. The last time I went to see a movie was Lord of the Rings the Twin towers jsut so ya know how often I go...

Holy Shit!




Okay, I rented the DVD...Picture this, I'm sitting in the den, up close, small tv, turned up loud. Not only that, BUT we have windows on both sides or front and back and they're without blinds or curtains. So it made the movie even creepier with the surroundings.

I've never been freaked out scared by a movie until now. Holy shit.

Also does anyone know any of the story behind the true part? I've been curious since it said something like "Based on Real Events" or something on the DVD box..

I just watched it for the 1st time and it scared the piss outta me quite a few times! 8O There were times I actually jumped off the floor where I was sitting in front of the tv.  8O

I thought it was gonna suck so I just never really got around to seeing it but I'm glad it was good. Disturbing.... but good.

On November 17, 1957 police in Plainfield, Wisconsin arrived at the dilapidated farmhouse of Eddie Gein who was a suspect in the robbery of a local hardware store and disappearance of the owner, Bernice Worden. Gein had been the last customer at the hardware store and had been seen loitering around the premises.

Gein's desolate farmhouse was a study in chaos. Inside, junk and rotting garbage covered the floor and counters. It was almost impossible to walk through the rooms. The smell of filth and decomposition was overwhelming. While the local sheriff, Arthur Schley, inspected the kitchen with his flashlight, he felt something brush against his jacket.
 
When he looked up to see what it was he ran into, he faced a large, dangling carcass hanging upside down from the beams.  The carcass had been decapitated, slit open and gutted.  An ugly sight to be sure, but a familiar one in that deer-hunting part of the country, especially during deer season.

It took a few moments to sink in, but soon Schley realized that it wasn't a deer at all, it was the headless butchered body of a woman. Bernice Worden, the fifty-year-old mother of his deputy Frank Worden, had been found.

While the shocked deputies searched through the rubble of Eddie Gein's existence, they realized that the horrible discoveries didn't end at Mrs. Worden's body. They had stumbled into a death farm.  

The funny-looking bowl was a top of a human skull. The lampshades and wastebasket were made from human skin.

A ghoulish inventory began to take shape: an armchair made of human skin, female genitalia kept preserved in a shoebox, a belt made of nipples, a human head, four noses and a heart.

The more the looked through the house, the more ghastly trophies they found. Finally a suit made entirely of human skin. Their heads spun as they tried to tally the number of woman that may have died at Eddie's hands.

All of this bizarre handicraft made Eddie into a celebrity. Author Robert Bloch was inspired to write a story about Norman Bates, a character based on Eddie, which became the central theme of the Albert Hitchcock's classic thriller Psycho.

In 1974, the classic thriller by Tobe Hooper, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, has many Geinian touches, although there is no character that is an exact Eddie Gein model.   This movie helped put "Ghastly Gein" back in the spotlight in the mid-1970's.

Years later, Eddie provided inspiration for the character of another serial killer, Buffalo Bill in The Silence of the Lambs. Like Eddie, Buffalo Bill treasured women's skin and wore it like clothing in some insane transvestite ritual.
