I saw this movie. It runs often on cable. Steve Railsback plays Ed Gein. At the end of the movie, they have real film footage of his arrest. I've read that several movies were based on his story - Psycho (mommy made me do it) and Texas Chain Saw Mass (chop them up and eatem). I think the movie gives you some insight into the abuse and oppression Gein endured as a boy from his parents which distorted him into a freak obsessed with body parts from the dead, and then into a killer, his hatred (but I think fear) of women, etc. For me, whenever someone raised by a bible thumper turns into a killer or abuser, it confirms certain theories I have.
Scream on...........
