The real-life model for terrifying horror movie psychos like Leatherface, Buffalo Bill, and Norman Bates was a man named Ed Gein, whose actual exploits were even more shocking than the movie plots they inspired. Who was this man and what did he do that made so many filmmakers fictionalize his story over the years? Listen, if you dare…

When josh says “the human suit doesn’t even look like his mother how does he not realize this is a terrible idea?” Then Joel says “where would he even wear it?” I’m dying laughing you guys are hilarious
@Chad Blair haha
I wonder did any of the serial killers have people in their family practiced satanic rituals or the dark arts and they were cursed as a result.
I hated church! I hated the Baptist Church most of all!
I died laughing at that too
@@JohnJohn-it9vy No its the other way around, its the fundamentalist churches that creates this. I spent 6 month together with fundamentalist Christians and they where insane, they really hated everyone outside church, they didn't say it straight out, but talking to them i realized they hade a lot of violent thoughts about people with different views. And during that time one person tried to leave, but wasn't aloud to. He got so distressed he ended up killing an innocent women and he is now i jail.
Could y’all do an episode on the catacombs of Paris ?? I’d love to hear y’all dive deep into that one☺️
Good idea Nicole, god Bryan is a idiot.
I never even thought about this, what a great suggestion!
I've been inside it is extremely frightening and not great if claustrophobic hah! 😄 I visited 10 year ago the staff really make it creepy also! All those 💀 💀 💀
@@ShellC888 oooooh that sounds so cool!! I’d love to visit them one day
@@NikkiTalksAlotyeah it was absolutely thrilling! Worth the trip if your ever visiting Paris 👌unforgettable experience 👻 I wouldn't suggest going alone i went with my partner at the time lol.
Wholesome brothers tell unwholesome, disturbing tales. Love it!!
That's beautiful. Should be the official subheader for this show.
I love when Josh throws subtle shade.... “And the kids made fun of him. I can definitely see why they did. I mean it’s not cool to make fun of people but I mean I see why they did” 😭😂☠️😭😂 slayed with empathy
I laughed so hard when Joel said, “I mean where are you gonna wear that?” 😂😂😂😂
Lights out, mile higher, the sesh and kendalls channel are seriously the only stuff i watch now, im now repeating podcasts twice😂😂 love the work you all do!!
Same here lol why I have CZcams
me 2 :D
Same!!
I just realized how desensitized I am to this stuff.
Josh: gives warning about gruesome descriptions and suggests to maybe stop eating.
Me: continues to eat my lasagna and garlic bread.
*Eating my pizza rolls, shrugs.
Same 🙋♀️
I never realized how much lasagna reminds me of sliced skin before
Aint nothing stopping us!🤣
Nothing stops me from eating am pretty sure am desensitised to all this now 🙃
“There are people that like have a fascination with serial killers, it’s just so sick” - who do you think’s watching your podcasts? Lmaooooo
At 13:17 your brother says “that’s suspicious” just like how cardi B says it lol
Josh's voice is so soothing and good for the podcast
I was frustrated because I drove 20 minutes to the store and realized I didn’t have my card when I got there. I opened CZcams when I got back to my car and saw you guys uploaded, and I listened to it on my way back home. Instantly upped my mood. Thank you guys!
Ed took the phrase facemask literally
Face.....
Off.
Josh & Joel: Who would want anything Ed Gein touched? That person would have to be sick.
/Zak Bagans has left the chat/
Cherry pie and cheddar brrrr
Lol yep he owns his caldron
He's been into stuff like that since he was a kid. Dude is creepy af
@@castorcreekcustoms9722 He got duped; it's not legit.
Oh also back in those days, not having electricity or indoor plumbing wasn't so weird. My mom grew up in the rural midwest in the 50s and 60s and they still didn't have indoor plumbing.
True, electricity was introduced in city homes during the 1910s but only the wealthy ones.
It's not even unusual recently, depending on how rural you are. Trixie Mattel is 31 & grew up in rural Wisconsin, and she's always talking about having to use an outhouse as a kid.
@@bridgetthewench can confirm, I live in rural central WI in a 100 year old farmhouse and there was an outhouse me and my siblings played in growing up. My dad said they used it when he was growing up (he was born in '59)
My mom also grew up that way at that time. She had 8 siblings, and at one point they had a packed dirt floor.
Every town has an “Ed” or the equivalent of. Like a creepy guy who literally loved his mom to death and has some weird obsession with “helping people”. I remember when I was a little kid we would always run into this one guy who was an “armature photographer” and he would be at all of our town’s little league, soccer, softball, basketball, etc...games, swim meets. You name it, if there were kids there, he would be right there. Anyway, I always said to my mom “I don’t like that man.” And I wasn’t the only kid who didn’t like him. When I was in my early 20’s, his stepdaughter, 3 nieces and around 18 other kids came forward to accuse him of sexual assault/rape/molestation. It was INSANE. He was arrested, his wife was arrested, he had HUNDREDS of video tapes that he had made with these kids. It was a massive scandal in our town and he’s serving a life term and his wife is serving 19 years. But as a kid, I KNEW there was something off about him. His wife was an agoraphobic but was the one who filmed the acts. Gross, gross, gross. Keep your kids safe. If they say they don’t feel right about someone, believe them!
Kids need to be believed when they say something is off. That is disgusting that this man and his wife were able to get away with this for so long. I'm glad theres at least some justice. That's horrible.
@@AmethystQtz Yes. Absolutely. Luckily my mom or family members were always around for myself and my cousins and didn’t let us alone with people we didn’t like. But you’re right, sometimes people don’t listen when kids speak up.
That's so weird that you mentioned that because I completely forgot that we had someone like that in my area as a kid. I was young and it was the 90's so IDK what information was real and what was just rumors, but all the kids were terrified of him and he was always just "around", it was weird. I gotta ask my boyfriend about that now to see if he remembers anything more than I do cuz I just completely forgot about that guy
I wrote an oral book report about Gein in high school. The topic was notable figures in Wisconsin history. Was permanently banned from class for that one.
P.s. Josh you said Lacrosse just fine. Keep up the good work guys.
Permanently banned from class? Why?
Banned from class?!!
@@pickles4742 apparently describing what he did was too graphic for my peers
I wrote one too. No one cared though.
@@igrowstickybuds5088 cereal killers 🤣🤣🤣 serial
This is literally my bedtime story rn.
Josh: if your eating this is probably the part where you want to stop.
Me: pauses for 20 seconds, then keeps eating...
I know this is a serious episode but I’m absolutely cracking up at Josh’ story about the guy in the gym wearing crocs😂😂😂
I listen to your episodes first on Apple podcasts and then on CZcams. I seriously can’t get enough of this show!
U are a gd smokeshow
My man Joel baked always, makes me so happy 😭
Josh's bro be lookin so high sometimes 😆
It's so obvious 🤣
Yeah bro Joel is blasted lol
“One casket was missing the body with just a crowbar inside...the next grave was untouched bc he claimed he lost his crowbar” 😂😂😂idk why i find that so funny he accidentally buried his crowbar in one of the graves
Thank you for choosing to do an episode on Ed Gein! Personally I think he is the most interesting of all the super famous serial killers.
@@bryangarcia5599 Exactly. He is not a serial killer!
I think so too.he wasn't a serial killer,if anything more a goul.a very interesting case all round
@@priestessmikokikyo77 - Ummm where did you get your info from. He fits the FBI criteria to a T. He killed 2 women, he most likely killed his brother as well. Single, white middle aged male living with his mom...etc etc.
Graveyard Artist
When josh said menstrual cycles are linked to full moons ... girls I guess were werewolves now 😂 I love this podcast. You guys should do listener paranormal stories!
Lol the minute i heard him say that i thought to myself... I guess that explains werewolves.
Menstrual cycles being linked to the full moon is soooooo BS
I was like... honey, no 😅
I said the same thing 🤣
My thought exactly lmao. I WISH that was how it worked
If you just heard a screeching pterodactyl, that was me seeing the notification for this ep.
When my mom laughs it sounds like a pterodactyl. As a joke I wanted a mom tattoo so instead of a bird holding a banner with mom written in it, I have a pterodactyl holding the banner on my leg... Its hilarious.
I only knew that Ed Gein was sick, i didn't know ANYTHING else. WOW.
The abusive childhood he had is heartbreaking!
Dance with the dead in my dreams, listen to their hallowed screams, the dead have taken my soul, temptation lost all control....
Dead skin mask, SLAYER
I live in Wisconsin and Portage county where Plainfield is, is one of the most haunted counties in Wisconsin. I remember my grandparents taking me to Ed geins grave and his old property as a fun little vacation trip lmao crazy!!!!
I live there too!
Ed genes lol
I’m from Kenosha but spend a lot of time out there. I don’t get why we have so many sick people from here
Your grandparents rock.
Ed spend the end of his life in Mendota Mental Health in Madison (That hospital is said to be very haunted). Everyone said he was liked by all the staff.
I never knew there was a Wisconsin accent until I went to college on the east coast and people always poked fun at the way I said things. Now I'm back in the midwest and I can finally hear it
41:11 Apple pie with cheese is the most disturbing detail of this case
I love how you don't put an advert in every 10 minutes, it means I can drift off listening to you, your voices are so soft
I've been waiting for this episode, I know it's gonna be good.
Its kinda short :/
Please cover the Russian Sleep Experiment!!!!
@Angel Boma Ye they cover urban legends all the time. I am fully aware it isn’t real, just thought it would be an interesting topic. Maybe a full episode on creepypasta stories. I’d be interested at least, and it seems that roughly 11 people agree with me.
Creepy! I reckon he was shaped by his parents fully: his mum telling him all women were bad worthless doomed sinners; and his dad was a tanner removing animal skins. Glad i didn't have breakfast yet!!
George gein was an abusive asshole! He hated Edward and Henry. He beat his wife and children,, augusta was awful, Edward was MADE into a killer Nobody is born to kill.
I grew up on a creek Indian Reservation and we did not have electricity or running water. I will never forget when I was 12 and we moved into town and had electricity and I took my first "hot" bath with running water.
Yes! Ed Gein is one of *those* people who holds my interest.
Literally killed females and u find interest n him 🧐
Got some issues huh??
May I ask why?
His backstory is heartbreaking! His parents were abusive monsters! I’m a female too, not excusing what he did but I see the good in all people. All Edward wanted was his mother’s love and acceptance she NEVER gave it to him. God have mercy upon their souls!
@@freebandglitch8618 I’m a psych major and I literally plan to pursue Criminal psych for my PhD. That’s what I meant by interesting.
When the music started at 27:40 it freaked me out so much, I’m smoking a doob in my local park at night 😅
But why alone at the park at night? Seems sketch
@@gabtexper smoking weed, not legal here lmao
"WHAT ARE THOSE?!?!" had me cackling😂😂😂
Woooohooo!!! Lights out everybody is now my favorite intro.
Hands down BEST crime/creepy Podcast ever 👌
These are the nicest comments I've ever seen on a CZcams video , y'all really made the best community.
I think Ed Gein suffered from severe mental health issues left untreated due to his childhood experiences but I believe it may also have been possible that he was struggling with his own sexuality and/or gender identity
Damn your a baddie you have snap
I think he was gay
@@daphne4983 no he was not. He was in love with females but because of his upbringing and his mother’s teachings he was not allowed to date. Abuse is from hell. And parents to harm their children deserve punishment for their evil!
@@priestessmikokikyo77 I get a strong gay vibe.
Well, his mother wanted him to be a girl. When she was pregnant she prayed every night for a girl and apparently felt betrayed by God when she had Ed. Ed was apparently attracted to females, but not allowed to express this in any way and he became obsessed with the female form, to the point where he wondered what it would be like to be female.
There is a book or two that goes into that in more detail.
Yes! Perfect timing! This is my go to podcast for while I'm working. And it just so happens I'm at work rn! Perfect! Thank you Josh and Joel!! 💛
I’m so in love with this podcast!! You boys are so adorable ❤️
I’m born & raised Georgia..... uhhhh no you guys do not have a country accent. 😂🤣. Y’all have a Midwest accent which is basically like no accent at all... it’s such a strange accent because it just sounds normal. I dunno.
Born and raised Texan here! I was thinking the same thing and then Josh said it! 😂
I was just about to say that they have nothing on my Georgia accent lol
NW Florida southern draw here
Im from South Carolina and yeah he has no accent at all. LOL
I'm from the Midwest. Where I'm from, they sound country, just not the same kind of country we have out here or in the South.
My older brother took me to see Texas chainsaw massacre in theaters 🎭 I was a young girl about 14, I don’t know what he was thinking. But it’s great that I finally get to understand the first scary movie that scarred me was inspired by this man’s story… Wow. I hope his soul rests in peace. I do love scary movies even more now 🍿 thanks bro lol
Love the intro so much I can’t help but say “everybody” at the end haha
I’m from Lacrosse Wisconsin and dont worry you were pronouncing it right lmao (also the fact I learned about this guy in 5th grade since he is technically part of our town’s history)
For me, the "tell" of what you call your "country" accent is the way you say the word "milk,"
You say it like "melk."
(FWIW, I think it's adorable!)
Bernice was my great great aunt. I always like learning about what made him the way he was. My great grandpa didn’t like talking about what happened to her so I’ve had to piece together everything on my own. Thank you for taking the time and researching. It’s so important to know the history and psychology of these monsters.
This take on ed gein, throughout his life is such an interesting story. I agree that maybe even with his mental issues, he couldve had a completely different life if his mom did not treat him so horribly as a child. I hate feeling bad for him because his victims deserve respect, but its always so interesting to hear how they were raised and the tramas that turned them into that monster. Its something we will never understand and a big reason why it is so fascinating to us.
Listened to this one on Apple podcasts... don’t recommend eating while you’re listening🤢
Having pizza while listening. I have worked with homicide detectives so not much phases me.
Snacking right now
I am sure I am in the minority camp, but I have to say, as far as serial killers go, Ed Gein is by far, the nicest one. To me he has always seemed to be a slow witted, uneducated, simple man who didn’t want to harm anyone, he just wanted to make his suit. If he had lived in a bigger city with more dead bodies to choose from, he probably wouldn’t have killed anyone. His life is a sad tale because of how his mother shaped him and the poor man never had a chance at a normal life.
Ed Gein makes me feel better about my family situation 🥴😳
HAHAHAHA finally some guys who call out guys who creep on girls 😂👏👏👏
Ed Gein's mom kinda reminds me of the mother from Carrie.
So ready for this podcast!
YAYAYAYYAYAY IT’S THAT TIME AGAIN, get your blunts and your coffee and go subscribe on all platforms for the best lads! Also thanks for sharing this info and RIP to these Victims ❤️
love everything yall make
I'm pumped for this one.
I've been living in my LOP hoodie! Awesome episode guys
I love these! I always look forward to them. Thank you !!!!
LOVE this podcast! You guys are great!
I love you guys!! KEEP EM COMINGGGGG
Also did anyone else find it morbidly funny that Ed's mother was so disturbed and shocked by an unmarried couple that she had a stroke and died
Hilarious.
That is pretty funny lol
Yessss!!! Thanks guys!! Happy Halloween Josh and Joel and Lights Out Fans!!☠👻💀☠
Same to you 🎃💀☠️👻
@@carolfyall688 Thank you👻🤗
Happy Halloween to you as well 🎃
@@trtaylor29 Thank you👻☠💀💖
He said not to eat and I thought “eh I’ll be fine” then saw the pictures of the stuff from his home and that ended snack time real quick
Ladies, how we raise our sons' MATTERS!! OMG! I'm not saying it always ends up like Ed when boys are neglected and raised with improper ideas about women, yet when these cases happen, I'm not surprised by how many have ridiculously unhealthy relationships with their own mothers.
I recently found you guys and you're the best story tellers! Thanks for the content you gained a subscriber. ❤
So glad I joined ya'lls podcast because this was uploaded to it yesterday so I got to hear it early!💜
It’s morning time here and I can’t wait to watch this one ~ love serial killer ones ~ thank you so much ❤️
Could you imagine if Ed had an Etsy shop?!
@@bryangarcia5599 hahahaha genius
Bryan coming through with the double whammy.
Perfect timing 🥺
Lights Out is the highlight of my week!!
so excited!! you guys are the best
finally.thank you guys!!!
I love the 2003 remake of TCM. Such a suspenseful slasher!
I anticipate every single time you or Kendall post. Mad love and respect to you ALL 💕
I was just thinking of looking into Ed. Dope.
i just started listening to your podcasts...i like how they are done......i am looking forward to listening to more
Getting ready for work and this came up. Great timing!
You said La Cross right, I am in Milwaukee and have been in love with your podcasts for months now but this video I was reluctant to watch because Ed Gein gave me nightmares. I am usually not afraid of serial killers but something about him terrifies me. I also find it strange to know that Jeffery Dahmuer lived in my city and I have stood where he once stood. It is just creepy but Ed Gein is a whole different story. My parents remember Jeffery’s capture and my grandma remembers Ed Gein because she lived in the same area as him.
i almost wonder if his upbringing stunted his mental growth and his mental maturity as well as his mental illness
Yes!!!!,... i still wanna see Albert Fish tho
They just did a video on Fish.....????
@@courtneyheverling4610 where,.. i haven't seen it
Im so sorry. I had just watched a video on The grey man and for whatever reason i thought it was this podcast. Im sorry. If i did mistake it. Then by all means they should definitely do it.
@@courtneyheverling4610 no worries,.. can't wait till they do a podcast on Fish tho. He is one of the "famous" killers that creeps me out lol.. that guy was as sick as they come. Also, the 7' tall guy, I think his name is Ed Kemper, could be wrong, but that guy would be a good podcast as well, he also creeps me out. Check him out if u haven't heard of him
I remember watching a movie about him when I was wayyy to young to be watching it lol but it’s stuck with me ever since. Such a disturbing case!
Don't let ANYONE criticize the way you talk or react...I'm VERY responsive , having MDD and GAD...JUST DO YOU, Because You are Loved for it!!
Watching this I found myself saying "At least Dahmer and Nilsen had some kind of reasoning for keeping body parts of their victims", and that's not a sentence I ever thought I'd find myself saying.
Like of course Dahmer and Nilsen were some of the worst of the worst, but fucking hell this is just creepy as all fuck. They obviously had way more victims since most of Ed's were already dead, but it's a different type of insanity that's just really unsettling and disturbing
After literally watching almost every video Kendall has put out I started thinking about finding a good true crime channel so I went to her channels to see what she watched and I realized that you both do so many different things and now I'm hooked all over again and have like over 200 videos to watch it's awesome
I love the little personal bits where you guys get a little off track... the crocs I’m dead!! Hahaha
I saw Ed Geins cauldron in Zaks Haunted Museum and i got such creepy vibes and the room felt as if there was a cold draft coming in
That cauldron is probably possessed by demonic spirits!
@@priestessmikokikyo77 clearly
Uwu spooky
The true crime here is the apple pie with cheddar cheese topping
My mom and sister also love cheddar cheese on apple pie. I’ve tried it and it’s better than it sounds but I prefer vanilla ice cream.
Ha!
What’s up Josh and Joel!! I get so excited when I see your podcast come up❤️❤️ Great topic!!
Its pretty shocking that he only killed 2 people considering how disturbed and notorious he is.
Edward.....Theodore.....
EDDY TEDDY
One of the best podcast channels
Yes finally a light out podcast
YAY!!! I requested this!!!!!
@William Pilston pass
Love you Guys! Y’all do a great job 👍🏻
