Did Ed Gein really make furniture out of humans?

Edward "Ed" Gein, a serial killer who died in a mental institution in 1984, did in fact use human body parts as trophies. He made tables from human legs, used human genitalia as toys, and made bowls from human skulls. He also covered chairs with human skin.


What serial killer used victims face as a mask?

You may be thinking of Ed Gein. Gein was in part the inspiration for the fictional character Hannibal Lector, aka Hannibal the Cannibal. At first Gein, of Plainfield, WI, used the skin of corpses that he dug up from a nearby cemetery. Later, he resorted to killing, which resulted in his arrest and trial, and a lifetime sentence in a mental hospital. Gein would indeed wear the skin of his victims including the skin of their faces worn like a grotesque mask. He also decorated his rural farmhouse with lamp shades made of skin, bowls out of skulls and other nicknacks. Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction, at least in Gein's case it is.

Who is serial killer Ed Gein?

Edward Theodore Gein, the inspiration for Psycho, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Silence of the Lambs, shared a home with his father, mother, and brother in a remote, rural farmhouse in Plainville, Wisconsin. His mother survived his father, and an in-depth online search of the Gein case that gets into the subject of his mother with some depth, gives considerable insight into Ed Gein himself. After the death of his entire family from natural causes, Gein lived alone in near isolation, and began his life of crime as a body-snatcher. Robbing graves at the local cemetery, and using body parts as knick-knacks, lamps, dishes, ect. Like Buffalo Bill in Silence of the Lambs, Gein made clothes made of human skin and would wear them around the farmhouse. When stealing cadavers lost it's appeal, Gein graduated to murder, killing at least two local women, and had the parts to at least 15 individuals. Police found a box of human noses, a belt decorated with human nipples, and a human heart in a pot on the stove at the time of his arrest. It's no surprise that Gein was found insane and spent the next decade in a mental hospital. Finally deemed sane to stand trial, he was found guilty but was sent back to the hospital where he remained for the rest of his life. Like several others of his ilk, Gein, in interviews and discussions about his life, came across as rather quiet and reserved. Gein died on July 26, 1984.


How old was Ed Gein at death?

Ed Gein, born August 27, 1906, lived an isolated existance on the Gein family farm in Plainville, Wisconsin. By the time of his arrest on November 16, 1957, Ed was the only Gein left. His father, mother and older brother had having died leaving Ed totally alone. Among other things, Gein was a necropheliac, who robbed graves of the recently dead. Ed was content with this arrangement for a while. When a couple of local women turned up missing police went to Gein's house since he had been asking about one of the missing women just prior to her disappearence. They found the missing women (dead) and body parts of the stolen corpses made into belts, hats and a 'body suit' made of human skin sown together. Gein would wear this 'suit' around his farm. After Gein's arrest he was judged unsound of mind and a trial was postponed. He eventually did have his day in court and of course was found guilty. He was sent back to the hospital for the mentally ill where he spent the rest of his life. Gein died on July 26, 1984.
