Episode Details

This week on The Next Take Podcast, Canada’s own Mikel and Tanyka delve into the real-life story of Ed Gein, exploring the shocking crimes that inspired some of Hollywood’s most iconic horror characters.

Ed Gein, the Wisconsin murderer and grave robber whose crimes shocked America in the 1950s. We explore Gein’s troubled upbringing, his isolated life in rural Wisconsin, the investigation that exposed his crimes, and the horrifying discoveries authorities made after his arrest in 1957. We also examine what happened during his trial and institutionalization and how his case became one of the most infamous in American criminal history. Finally, we look at Ed Gein’s lasting impact on popular culture and how elements of his story helped inspire fictional horror characters associated with Psycho, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, and The Silence of the Lambs.
