Not "The true story of..." but very loosely "based on..."[edit]
This is not "The true story...." This movie Gein is a large, always angry, brooding man. Ed Gein was a small, harmless looking man quick with bizarre jokes, who got away with ten or twelve grave robberies and one murder because he was mild mannered. This reel Gein takes living victims to his farm to torture; the real Gein killed two victims quickly and took their bodies to the farm to dismember. The movie has a frenzied manhunt for Gein with a kidnapped girl. Gein was caught for murdering Bernice Worden, his second murder victim, when police found a receipt to Gein for antifreeze from the last sale at Worden's store. The end of the movie claims Ed Gein murdered ten victims but was tried for only two. The real Gein murdered two victims, but was only tried for the last murder with best evidence. The previous murder was a cold case; this movie has them both in a 24 hr period with a grave robbery and murder of a cemetary security guard (?) thrown in, throwing the county into panic. In the real Gein case, the crimes were spread out over a long period of time publicly unsuspected, and there was widespread shock only after Gein was arrested and his crimes were discovered. This movie is very loosely based on the true story. Naaman Brown (talk) 13:56, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
This article is way too short and it poorly written and in need of a rewrite. The plot section should be expanded in more detail than what it currently has. The article is also missing important information on the film's reception which needs to be added to the article. All of these changes and additions need to occur in order for this article to meet Wikipiedia's standards of a well written and developed article.--Paleface Jack (talk) 01:09, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
