Ed Gein's legacy places him as one of the most depraved serial killers in US history. Less remembered for his murders, the meek and simple Ed Gein kept a mortifying collection of paraphernalia fashioned from human remains on display in his farmhouse. His collection marked a new disturbing level for the criminally insane in the mid-1900s. His crimes became a revelation to the world, showing the public what killers were truly capable of, and his notorious legacy went on to inspire some of the darkest tales in American folklore, including Psycho and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
