Ed Gein



Edward Gein (August 27, 1906 – July 26, 1984), was an American serial killer. Though only two murders on his part were confirmed, he gained great infamy due to necrophiliac behavior, which involved the skinning of his murder victims and exhumed corpses, the decoration of his home with parts of corpses, and the creation of articles of clothing from the skin of corpses.
