![Noob To Max With DRAGON REWORK In Blox Fruits [FULL MOVIE]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/LnBMOinoOvA/mqdefault.jpg)
It had to be mind blowing to walk into a crime scene like this in the 50’s.
For sure…. There must be something wrong with the water in WI
Or now for that matter.
Any day and age I would imagine.
@@BlaiseBeuche exactly & the day it becomes normal then we really are in trouble!!!
Yeah. In 2024, it'd actually be kinda nice
I’m a landscaper… digging holes is hard… digging up a 6 foot grave would be a hell of a task to do voluntarily.
He must have had some sort of deep seated drive to do that.. wild
He targeted freshly buried bodies so in that context the soil would be lose and no tree roots, stones etc. Still crazy hard work but not as prohibitive as digging a new hole in compacted soil.
He tried digging his mother up but they put a concrete slab over it because of the soil being so sandy. It was after I believe he resorted to next best option. Killing Mary and Bernice
OMG, that's a lot of people.
I think that’s why nobody really suspected him of doing such things I mean, the town people always looked at it as being kind of often not like other people, but he was also small and stature and not very big so nobody really thought he’d be able to do it looks can be deceiving
like his brother ??????
The great Boris Karloff said it best in the movie; "Targets"....
"The real horror isn't in the movies, it's in the newspapers."
You got that, the media IS a horror.
@@user-rf4yl2pz1j huh
Sad but true
Watched a lot of these types of videos around Plainfield, but this was the best yet. Very respectfully done.
i actually found him talking about him digging up and mutilating corpses right next to peoples graves especialy next to the victims grave kinda disrespectful
@@stargirl6992 but did you die?
I agree🦩🎃🎃
Oh please😂@@stargirl6992
BS!!
Wisconsinite here. Lots of creepy stories here. I just love the way you tell a story. Your a very good story teller, you can tell you genuinely love this❤
When we would drive down 39 on the way to Madison from our home town, my dad would always say “That’s where Ed Gein made those people into lamps and chairs”. That was terrifying as a kid.
I'd make me my mom tell me the Ed Gein story as a bedtime story.
Lol dad's always have to nonchalantly say stuff like that lol
what else did your dad say
@@jonnynelson5663 whenever I meet up with anybody from Wisconsin - I ask just about how far from Plainsfield ⁉️
@@merricat3025 truly blessed
The house was slightly to the right if you're looking straight in from the driveway gate. Not left. About 20 feet or so straight behind where the girl was standing at the 7:35 mark. 18:12 - 18:30 marks you two would've been standing the closest to it. Great video.
I think many of us knew this story, but you managed to pull it all together in one excellent video. The visuals, especially at the end, are stunning. Lately, you've been doing some heavy stuff, but, as you say, it's history. History needs to be documented, and remembered. Keep up the excellent storytelling.
Thank you, I myself have found it much easier to understand history once we started actually walking it. There’s just something about being right there that makes it all make sense.
@@grimmlifecollective Great work, keep it up!
@@grimmlifecollective YES! as a lover of history I Second and Third that! :D

I thought I knew the whole story, but you shared a few things I didn't know. I think that unlike Bundy, and Gacy, Ed truly was criminally insane. Another great video, guys. Thank you!!
Please don't ever increase your production levels of your videos. Not saying it's low, it's just PERFECT for your "on site" narration. Everything's perfect, feels like I'm right there with you guys. Other channels start like this and then become disconnected from their original narrative for the site with effects and what nots. You and your girl do it right, keep up the good work and God Bless
I am 68, and a huge fan. I see you and Jessica as I do my own kids, so I have to say, please stay safe and be careful as you bring us your fascinating videos. You guys in Chicago's dangerous streets very recently made me nervous. Stay safe ~Love, fromYour fairy Godmother, Trish.
My great grandma lived down the road from him, and would tell me how he would always help my great grandma around the farm and to hear him say they helped people gave me goosebumps.
@♡•Angelina•♡ you are right on target. Nobody is born evil. It's the environment that surrounds them and what they do with it that turns them evil.
Weird people pick and choose who they bother I'm sure your grandma wasn't a threat to him
Years ago we found the property. My general impression was sadness. On the property I could hear no birds. Sometimes that is not so unusual. My friend said he swore he saw someone standing there. We visited the cemeteries and Plainfield.
@@danielmorse4213 what name of the street did ed live on in plainfield ??
I'm guessing if you check the local register of deaths in the 1947 to 1957 time and then cross those with photos you might be able to pick a few people out that he dug up. He leaned towards woman that reassembled his Mother.
As always, the respect you show for the victims is incredible.
You tube doesn't let people get too gory. They demonetize.
@fatopossum then don’t watch
Good lord.. I knew a lot about Ed. However- I didn't know he WORE his mother.
Another thorough video...
Thank you..
As a long haul trucker, what you do for a living is my goal for relaxation and exploration. One day, i hope to travel across country in my old Suburban with a mattress in the back and tour all the morbid and strange historical places. I’m going through your entire catalog.God bless you both.
That's cool, bud. Im picturing you on the road and catching creepy videos like this on your downtime. Stay safe out there. Cheers.
Yake me with you lol😊
Michael and Jessica, I have to admit that I almost skipped this one. I knew the story (to a point) and hesitated. You covered the history in a respectful way. I think that we are fascinated (horrified) by this because it is so OUT THERE. What makes a mind turn to this monstrous thing? I feel sorry for the town that has this in the history. Well done, kids. We have to know history to avoid the past mistakes and crimes.
Please don’t ever stop making these videos. Makes me feel like I’m not alone and completely normal! Please come to England and do the same here!
It will happen Jessica. Already planning it and Hoping for October 2023. To coincide with the For the Love of horror convention. Fingers and bones crossed
@@grimmlifecollective have you seen the new chainsaw massacre yet????
@@afrolintln7677 i love the TCM universe, but the last 3 movies have been quite disappointing to me.
@@bruzey7786 agreed!!!!!!!!!
Cool idea on making videos in English!!!
I can see your discomfort and anxiety here. Thank you for sharing this even in your uneasiness. It is horrifying.
Chris Farley's older brother, Tom, said the family lived in a house on Lake Mendota, and it was directly across from The Mendota Mental Health Institution. Gein was there when they were growing up, and Tom said it was a scary as kids to know he was their neighbor. Tom Farley shared this information on Dana Carvey and David Spade's podcast for the 25th anniversary of Chris Farley's passing. | Thank you both for the video and journey.
The house was in Plainfield about an hour or so north of Madison
@@hoperuppel5898 He's talking about the Mendota mental institution where Gein was serving out his sentence after he was convicted..
I had never heard of Ed Gein until the 1990s when Blind Melon wrote a song about him called 'Skinned'. Great song. Thanks for the video!
I didn't know Blind Melon written a song about him. I got to check out that song.
Slayer wrote a song about him in 1990 called Dead Skin Mask. Check it out. Here's the lyrics:
"Dead Skin Mask"
How I've waited for you to come
I've been here all alone
Now that you've arrived
Please stay awhile
And I promise I won't keep you long
I'll keep you forever (Forever, forever, forever)
Graze the skin with my fingertips
The brush of dead, cold flesh appease the means
Provoking images, delicate features so smooth
A pleasant fragrance in the light of the moon
Dance with the dead in my dreams
Listen to their hallowed screams
The dead have taken my soul
Temptation's lost all control
Simple smiles elude psychotic eyes
Lose all mind control, rationale declines
Empty eyes enslave the creations
Of placid faces and lifeless pageants
In the depths of a mind insane
Fantasy and reality are the same
Graze the skin with my fingertips
The brush of dead, warm flesh pacifies the means
Incised members ornaments on my being
Adulating the skin before me
Simple smiles elude psychotic eyes
Lose all mind control, rationale declines
Empty eyes enslave the creations
Of placid faces and lifeless pageants
Dance with the dead in my dreams (Hello? Hello, Mr. Gein?)
Listen to their hallowed screams (Mr. Gein?)
The dead have taken my soul (Let me out of here, Mr. Gein)
Temptation's lost all control (Mr. Gein? I don't want to play anymore, Mr. Gein)
Dance with the dead in my dreams (Mr. Gein, this isn't fun anymore)
Listen to their hallowed screams (I don't wanna play anymore, Mr. Gein)
The dead have taken my soul (Mr. Gein? I want out of here, Mr. Gein)
Temptation's lost all control (Let me out now!)
Try "Who Put Grandma Under the Stairs, "Demented Are Go the band.
Even Jessica is always so respectable in keeping your videos smooth flowing --- Thanks both of you for showing love and compassions for the victims.
I think the reason we are so interested in these types of crime is down to our morbid fascination. You are a great storyteller and I thank you for bringing us these videos.
I found an aerial photo of the Gein property from April 29, 1957. Southwest corner of the intersection of Archer Ave & 2nd Ave just like you said. In the aerial you can see the house near the intersection and the barn about 50 yards south of the house, and they both faced 2nd Ave. The house sat exactly where Baby Ghoul walked onto the property to the right side of the gate, and sat maybe 15 yards off the road. She first stopped and stood looking south about where the porch on the south (or left) side of the house was. So yes, you both stood on the ground where the house was. That driveway circled past the left side of the house and went south, down to the barn.
Im in Colorado, but have been to the property several times now, just went again in August.
It’s hard to imagine the owner hasn’t done something to stop the tours.
@@user-kcrpine At that point.. profit 🤣
Imagine having been a neighbor or acquaintance of Ed maybe being a farmer next door and knowing he was different then finding all these things about him. What a shock it must have been. Great coverage of this story👍
It was reported that a man named James Walsh was report "vanished" ans he was Ed Gein's neighbor. His other neighbors he would eat and hang out with, bring "fresh venison" even though he never shot a deer in his life. One of the neighbor's daughter found shrunken heads in his farm but he explained it as a relic from the Phillipines that his cousin got during the WW2. They were human masks. There was a lot of disappearances that no one knew about around that time, both at that town and around it. Apparently two male deer hunters vanished near his house too.
@@FIRE-LOTUS very scary
@@FIRE-LOTUS Investigators found no missing persons in the area at the time Ed was active... other than the tavern owner he shot in '54. The hunters were not near Ed's place & he was cleared of any involvement there, anyway.
I grew up in Plainfield in the late 70’s-90’s. Thank you for being very respectful of the victims, town, and everything that had happened there.
The property at the gate was terrifying for me to see right at the beginning of the video. I got cold chills. I bet it felt even more terrifying in person. I never really knew the whole story of Ed Gein. You did such thorough research as always. Thank you so much for all you do. Safe travels.
When i was there, I was driving and paralyzed with fear and anxiety and couldn't move.
@@cynthiakluck-johnson5895 bet you love it 😀
I was 10 years old and living in Southeast Missouri when this story broke. I vividly remember reading about it in the newspaper. Although I was horrified, it sparked my interest in true crime, and I have been a fan ever since. Thank you for telling this story and taking us to the site.
I was not alive back then but can only imagine how hard this crime hit the country. We hadn’t seen the Bundys or Dahmers of the world yet- Gein was probably the most disturbing serial killer in history ..
Not going to lie I really wish they would have preserved the Gein home so we could go through it
@@billsimms2511
mao, stalin, and hitler: “are we jokes to you??” 🤨🤨🤨
Where u at in south East Missouri that's where I'm from ol bootheel
@@573semobulls3 I grew up in Bernie.
For reference, it’s between Dexter and Malden. My father was a machinist at the Malden Air Base. It shut down when I was in 7th grade, and my father found work in St. Louis. My husband and I graduated from SEMO, as well as our children. Where are you from?
@@brendacook6576 haha yea I know exactly where that's at I'm from Kennett bout 25 miles from there
Me and my wife just visited Ed’s property today for the first time. It was pretty creepy to say the least and to top it all off there was a rotting deer carcass laying about 12 to 15 feet to the left side of the gate outside of the fence. It smelled horrific! Guess it just added to the realism of the place and what happened there years ago.
I'm SO GLAD I stumbled upon your channel!!! I'm thankful to you & Baby Ghoul for telling & dissecting history from fantasy/lore. I'm awe struck with history & all it has to offer. I, like yall, do all I can to preserve historical facts and correct those who only know the lore. Keep up the GREAT work!
Born and raised in the mid west, living just (2) states over from WI, I’ve heard many stories and watched almost every documentary about Ed, and movie based on him. Not going to tell my age here, but he was the real life boogie man our parents told/warned us about even though he was dead by the time I could really understand his crimes.
This documentary is up there as one of my favorites about him and his life. Thank you for covering it!
Just the other day I watched your Dahmer video and said "Ooooooh, they're in Wisconsin!!!!! I hope they do an Ed Gein video!" Thanks Grimm-Life!
🤘
Sneaky sneaky…you never know where and when we will pop up. Thank you for watching.
@@grimmlifecollective alsoooooooooooo, you mentioned Psycho and Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Slayer also wrote one of the best songs of their career about Mr. Gein, "Dead Skin Mask".
Yes. His crimes were beyond comprehension. But we must remember that this man was Ill. once again , you guys take us to places that we would never go. Thank you .Respect.
And he liked home furnishing !🪑
Dirk Diggler has taken people where many of us don't dare to go. 😂
😂😂😂😂
I’m doing my best.!!As Amber’s legal team said 😂😂😂😂
I have several books about Ed and I thank you so much for taking me there!
Thank you for coming to our beautiful state. I’m not in Plainfield, but not too far away. Another component to this, is how must the family members of the dug up bodies felt? These were recently deceased people. He watched the obituaries. Wow.
Ed Gein once went up to my grandma and touched her hair, he yelled to my uncle “She’s got nice hair Bill.” And walked out. That story terrifies me horribly.
I think its kinda funny
The Camera you use is Amazing. Definitely one of the best on RUclips. The Clarity is just spectacular.
"Psycho" sehe ich gern, sowohl in deutsch als auch in englisch, wunderbarer Schauspieler.Tolle Stimme, tolle Ausstrahlung gehabt.DANKE für deine tollen Videos..
Crazy that you mentioned the babysitting part. I was speaking about serial killers yesterday and a friend's friend was one of the people he watched. Absolutely terrifying to think about.
Excellent video!
That's part of what made Ed go unnoticed for all those years. He appeared harmless and trustworthy, so people didn't think to look beyond the outside of him and his house.
Of course, back then nobody in America had heard of any one person, let alone a fellow White American, do anything at all like Ed Gein had done. So why look for something that doesn't exist?
my dad had a brick from john wayne gacycys crawlspace
@@patrickprendergast9589 Why?
@@patrickprendergast9589 Ewwwww
The way you explain these places with so much respect to victims and making it clear we do not glorify these crimes, is very admirable and I thank you both for doing that time and time again.
I am from Manchester England UK.I really want to visit this place one day, and also other seriel killer sites it's so interesting great video guys
I love your channel because you tell the history of the story but you feel it. I can see how disturbed you were telling this gruesome story, and Thank you for being you. I love Jessica too. The dynamic duo💚💚💛💛
I think you did a respectful report on this situation. As a History Major, and someone who has always loved History, I know how important it is to accurately report historical facts, no matter how ugly they are. When people attempt to sanitize history, they rob others of the crucial need to learn lessons from that history.
Love love love this ghoulish stuff! I'm a horror buff that's also into history so Grimmlifecollective hits the mark on all parameters for me! Thanks guys ,you knocked it outta the park again!!!!
They are perfect!! Especially if you love horror and true crime
I wasn't born until 1965, but I've always been haunted by this story. You guys are great😘
"I'm a little hesitant about reading this, because honestly is a little bit too much, it's making me a little queasy. But history is history, and you need to remember these things"
Never a truer word spoken.
I love your videos, guys :)
Only just discovered and subscribed to your channel, and I'm working through your vids slowly... but I love your style, and the way you present the things that need to be presented and I love how when there's a subject that can disturb or upset, you always make a point of being kind and respectful toward the subject and to your viewers.
You're insightful, intelligent, respectful, and most of all you both seem like genuinely interested and interesting people.
Keep it up, guys :)
Another fantastic video, The balance in the content of information, intrigue, factual and respectful is so right!!!!
I noticed the electrical lines are still in the exact same spot, it looks like those two trees directly in front of the gate are growing where the house stood. The path of the driveway is still there as nothing wants to grow over it. Very cool.
Hi. At what time on the video do you see the electrical lines?? Thank you..
"Welcome to Wisconsin, we eat people." Saw that on a bumper sticker and a few bridges near there. It can be cold and quiet, but so much fun growing up in between Milwaukee and Chicago.
I am from Wisconsin I sadly know.
I'm from and still am living in Wisconsin
@@Regina0964 “living”
Is it as awful as I presume?
Racine WI in the house!
Just add a little hot sauce and stick it on the grill and you’ll have barbecue for a week.
I was born in the mid 1950s and grew up in Milwaukee. Ed Gein was an urban legend, everyone knew about him. I moved to the west coast in 1972. When I heard about Jeffery Dahmer, I immediately thought he must have been "inspired" by Ed Gein. I'm going to watch your Dahmer video next. This video was very well done.
Thank you for explaining, you're not glorifying these monsters.
Very important and appreciated.
Awesome job on these videos and you two are obviously a great couple. Peace be with you. ✌😎👍
My boyfriend and I love watching your videos. They are brilliant and so informative🖤
man.. I had a look of disgust on my face the whole time. But we need to see this and learn about it. I hope you know that what you're doing is very very important. Tv would just dramatize this and make it feel more like a fantasy. But this is raw and real. I will always commend you on what you're doing sir. one of the best channels on youtube
I've seen this done by lots of people. Your video is the best I've seen by far. Amazing work. I love the detail and emotion that you put into every video. Keep up the awesome work. You guys are loved and appreciated.
I lived in Bradenton Florida for 34 yrs until so many people moved there it took me 40 minutes to drive 3 miles to my gym. I moved to the middle of no where Alabama where I can drive 20 and maybe not pass another car except for farm equipment. I love it great motorcycle country. My in-laws lived in Grantsburg Wisconsin it looked just like where you're at there. Thanks for another great video.
I was born in WI, and now, 57 yrs later, have come back here. We're outside of Madison. My husband and I went through Plainfield, and decided to stop at the cemetery where Gein's family is buried. It was no big deal lol. Stuff like this happens sometimes in this messed up world.
Also, my husband's father was a Postman in Madison after Gein was put into Mendota State Hospital there. He delivered there and to the ward where Gein was held, and often saw him when he delivered. True Story!
I'm about your age. My mother's family lived there and my dad did some photography at the crime scene. He passed away before I leaned of that and the family did not keep any of that. 😮 The Gein story never came up in my years growing up in WI. Beer, brats, and Packers!
You are right on the money with why it burnt down. My grandfather told me all about it.
Thank you for getting the story correct. I saw another video about Ed and the narrator said Ed killed 13 people. I knew it was only 2 (3 if you believe he killed Henry).
Oh cool! Creepy old Ed Gein! Have to save this for later, can't wait! You guys rock! Much love😘😘💕✌️
Huge props on this walkumentary. You brought the story alive in a way 95% of others just can't do or are too lazy to leave their home and feel the crime scene. I'd like to point out--your research, dialog and ability to wrap yourself into the history of Gein's depraved acts was 100% better than the catalogs of unoriginal shows/videos that spend 45 minutes rotating some photos. Subscribed and Great work!
Fantastic video. Never really got into the Horror movie category, and only learned about Ed yesterday. Now im fascinated.
Going on location is a huge thing for me. It makes it a more impactful connection then just seeing a slide show, or reading it in a book.
Keep it up
My wife's grand parents knew Ed Gein he was a farmer in thier small town, they said he was a nice guy. Everyone there knew him, but they didn't have clue about what he was doing.
Nobody knew what was Jeffery Dahmer doing too in Milwaukee Wisconsin.
@@CalvinPettersonGod rest their souls. ❤️🙏🏻❤️
The effort you all are putting into all these videos isn't going unnoticed. Good job guys. This is top notch. You're the best out there concerning this type of content.
You did it again. With a story as old as the hills you provided a fresh take with details I don't recall hearing before in the many big budget cable channel documentaries.
Hard to believe that the town allowed Gein to be buried in a town cemetery.
For real, I thought they would have buried him on prison grounds or even cremate him and bury him there... crazy!
It wasnt like he was a hated evil man , he used to babysit in the small community. He was a sick man , he was put in a mental asylum. I remembered when the last lady went missing and they joked maybe ed got um haha Ed's a lady killer and ed responded yum yum they were good and smirked.
@@patrickroy3380 Sick? Ya think!?!
I don't think that the citizens were told. He was just buried there.
I think his grave is unmarked so you can't find it very easy
Ron, I have almost watched all your videos, I really enjoy them and I repeat them because they are so interesting. Salutes and blessings from Tampa, Florida.
Your discomfort and compassion are palpable. I trust that you and your lovely wife always remember to protect your energy as you go through the ugly details of these stories. Thank God for the beauty that remains on the former Gein property. 😔 We appreciate what you do! ♥️
Nicely done! A TRUE horror story , & one not to be forgotten . This story spawned at least 3 films , & MANY campfire tales...
I'm loving these heavy-hitter episodes! You cover everything so respectfully, y'all do an amazing job
I actually work for a transportation company in Wisconsin, KwikTrip as a driver, and occasionally I drive through Plainfield Wisconsin, and the Ed gein story always runs through my mind every time I drive through that peaceful, little town. Crazy
I love the music at the beginning of your videos. You do such an amazing job on every one you do. So respectful. Love your channel ❤
You guys are the true MVP’s for consistently giving us this content!! Btw dude loving the nails-very metal 🤟
I always hit the like button before I even watch it, I just automatically know that I’ll love it. Great job as always! ♥️
Great work as an always! 👍
There was a movie filmed in Canada in the early 70s called Deranged that was based in this story. I had it on a double feature DVD that contained Motel Hell and Deranged😃
I seen the movie deranged also, & was a part in the movie was a younger girl hung up like a deer? Been about 35 to 40 years since I seen this movie.
”closed at sunset, open at sunrise”… what a nightmare. Thank you for your storytelling and videos.
2:30 in the morning, binge watching y’all’s content. Plz keep it coming.
You guys rock!!! Thank you for all you do !!! Starkweather is in the Wyuka cemetery right on O street in Lincoln NE... With some research you can find out where Carolannes house was!
I live in Surrey England. I love your mini documentaries. I watch them when I have an hour to spare here and there, the first one that I saw was the day the music died, I’ve probably seen 5 now keep them coming. I don’t think it’s morbid. I find them insightful great presentation and very informative 👍🏻
I am watching this video while doing housecleaning, & I've had to stop several times to simply comprehend some of the crazy things Ed did😳🤯 Thanks to you and baby ghoul for covering these historic cases. It's important to learn about the terrible things of the past, so we can better appreciate when beautiful things happen today.
I recently bought some barnwood from an older guy. I asked him where it came from. He told me a barn in Hancock Wisconsin which isn't far from Plainfield. I jokingly said oh that's right by where that Gein freak was from. He got quiet and told me a little history. This fellas dad hired Gein as a youngster to throw hay in the loft on afternoons. He then went on and told how Geins mom was very protective of him and didn't want him associating with society. My understanding how he got caught was before he murdered the lady at the hardware store I believe it was anytime someone came in the store she wrote their name on a notepad. Obviously he didn't see her do this but his name was the last name on that list. Very interesting.
Yea buddy!! Cool to see you made it out here. I had a teacher in school, her family use to have Ed over for dinner.
Plainfield is definitely plain…. It’s all corn fields.
Your videos make me feel like I’m there, especially this one!! I’m not sure if it’s the sounds or the shots, but whatever you’re doing is great!! Please continue to make these videos!! You both are so appreciated!! Take care and be safe!! 🙏🏾
I have goosebumps how graphic this Ed Gein was 😳 beautiful parcel of land where the farmhouse once stood
In Poland we also have a similar psychopath, they called him a cold surgeon because he was digging up fresh or less fresh corpses buried in the cemetery. Scary stories. There are currently several books and many podcasts about him. Edmund Kolanowski. A very rare case of necrophilia. There are no words to express how much I like your channel. Greetings from Poland....and Happy Halloween 🎃👀
I've been skipping this one for a while now. Very glad I finally clicked on it. One of your best.
As a new fan and having been well familiar with the Ed Gein story for years, I could tell by your reaction to the reality of the horrific atrocities done by him that you really felt it! I respect that ! I appreciate that. I mean, I usually watch your shows and they're mostly entertaining and informative, but this was definitely nothing to enjoy! Much respect!
Amazing story GLC, thank you for telling it so well..
I really look forward to your videos...very well narrated with a lot of emotional perspective and appreciation for the dark and often beautiful.
Long winters give you time for unusual hobbies! Urban legend said that Ed worked in the upholstering shop when he was locked up!He truly was a really life ghoul! Imagine the official’s gut reaction when they walked into this real house of horror! Saw the photos in a documentary about Ed’s life… wow! My wife always calls me out for watching horror movies, I respond by saying actual life is way more horrific!
You handled a very disturbing and discusting subject of a horrific human being with compassion for the victims and sensitivity
and respect in general for the telling of the story in best way anyone could. Thank you for taking us viewers through the tangled and twisted psyche of Ed Gein.
Thank you for the video. Appreciate the research and hard work.
Wow. You came across such detail in your research. I don't blame that little town for wanting to forget the horrendous past, of what happened in their peaceful little town so long ago. My heart goes out to the women he killed and to the other women who he did such horrible stuff to after they had died.
Although its a very disturbing case, I still "enjoyed" watching this video. Great work. Thanks for sharing.
As a subscriber and true crime fan,.... This was a great video !
Keep doing what you do.
I truly enjoyed listening to your matter if fact sincere explanation of the fact around the history of Ed Gein and his real life actions. The way he was raised scarred him for life to become deranged and do the unthinkable things he did in his life. You are a fantastic presenter and reporter of information. Keep up the great work.
Another excellent and informative video from you guys. Your narration and descriptive details of the events and locations is superb. Thank you so much for your terrific work.
Another masterpiece. Thank you for telling these stories very carefully. Greetings from Germany. You guys doing a great job
Plainfield is my hometown, but in Illinois. Gein and Gacey were the talk all the time, as Stateville is right by me as well. Crazy living near Chicago with all its lore.
I live in a small town in upper Michigan which I’ve always heard people talk about him and some other guy that killed some people closer to my town so it’s cool to see you guys go here
There were two hunters that mysteriously disappeared on the Ed Grin property. The 14 year old boy had Ed Gein over for supper at his family's house. Ed Gein enjoyed Mac and cheese and a hearty supper.
They were not on Gein's property.
I love that you don't glorify the monsters and I can actually feel how disgusted you are, I love the way you walk history because I am from Glasgow Scotland so would never be able to get to the places you go to for me and everyone else. Thank you for all you do! 🖤🖤🖤
Thank you for watching Sharon, and Happy Halloween
@@grimmlifecollective You are very welcome!! 🤣 Happy Halloween! Damn, I forgot to say that in my comment! 👀
The Psychiatrist at the end of Psycho is my great uncle.
Nice! Some have said that his scene at the end of the film is superfluous and only exists because the studio forced Hitchcock to make extra sure that audiences understood
the story. And in a way, I agree with that. But I also happen to enjoy that scene because of your great uncle's performance.
Not only did he have a pleasant voice to listen to, but the way he delivered his speech of exposition made him sound fairly modern for the time.
The film was shot at a time when depression was still being treated with electric shocks, so to have someone actually consider the psychological problems of the antagonist
was very mature, I think. I haven't read the book or the script, so I'm not sure who wrote your great uncle's lines, but he delivered them convincingly nevertheless.
