The locals of Plainfield, Wisconsin referred to Ed Gein as “Weird old Eddie.” The handyman, who was born in La Crosse County, had begun to develop an extremely and unhealthy interest in the anatomy of the female body . That bizarre fetish was fed by his love for medical encyclopedias, books on anatomy, pulp horror novels and pornographic magazines. This fascination grew and then Gein soon began digging up decaying female corpses in Wisconsin cemeteries. It has been documented in numerous articles around the web, that he would dissect and keep parts of heads, sex organs, livers, hearts and intestines.  Seemed he was especially fascinated by the female genitalia, and of course! Our beautiful peaches are as soft and delicate as such. But not in the way he saw them. He would fondle and play with dissected labias, stuffing them into a pair of women’s panties, which he would then wear around the house- Not an image I want burned into my head. I like to think the term “Weird old Eddie” is slang for twisted fuck.

Gein’s Farmhouse

After some time, Gein became less satisfied and began to seek out fresher samples. His victims were usually women of his mother’s age. One in particular named Mary Hogan- aged 54, disappeared from the tavern she ran in December of 1954. Another, Bernice Worden, a woman in her late fifties who ran the local hardware store, disappeared in November of 1957. As fate would have it, Mrs. Worden’s son Frank, was also the sheriff’s deputy. Upon learning that Ed Gein had been spotted in town on the day of his mother’s disappearance, Frank Worden and the sheriff went to check out the lovely old Gein place. What they found was an unspeakable horror and a gruesome collection of human flesh objects. Here are just a few images of the horrifying discoveries found in the nightmare farmhouse.

Upon entering a shed on his property, they made their first horrific discovery of the night: Bernice Worden’s corpse. Her decapitated body hung upside down by ropes at her wrists and a crossbar at her ankles. Even more disturbing was the discovery of her body being hollow, the ribcage split and the body “dressed out” like that of a deer.

The head of Mary Hogan was also discovered in a box.

Apparently Gein used these skulls as soup bowls. Campbell’s anyone?

What a lovely gathering of knick- knacks. The face mask is quite the conversational piece, yes?

On July 26, 1984, Ed Gein died of respiratory and heart failure due to cancer in Goodland Hall at the Mendota Mental Health Institute. All nipples everywhere sighed a huge breath of relief.

‘Evil Dead’ Film Franchise Getting TWO New Installments

Published

on

It was a risk for Fede Alvarez to reboot Sam Raimi’s horror classic The Evil Dead in 2013, but that risk paid off and so did its spiritual sequel Evil Dead Rise in 2023. Now Deadline is reporting that the series is getting, not one, but two fresh entries.

We already knew about the Sébastien Vaniček upcoming film that delves into the Deadite universe and should be a proper sequel to the latest film, but we are broadsided that Francis Galluppi and Ghost House Pictures are doing a one-off project set in Raimi’s universe based off of an idea that Galluppi pitched to Raimi himself. That concept is being kept under wraps.

Evil Dead Rise

“Francis Galluppi is a storyteller who knows when to keep us waiting in simmering tension and when to hit us with explosive violence,” Raimi told Deadline. “He is a director that shows uncommon control in his feature debut.”

That feature is titled The Last Stop In Yuma County which will release theatrically in the United States on May 4. It follows a traveling salesman, “stranded at a rural Arizona rest stop,” and “is thrust into a dire hostage situation by the arrival of two bank robbers with no qualms about using cruelty-or cold, hard steel-to protect their bloodstained fortune.”

Galluppi is an award-winning sci-fi/horror shorts director whose acclaimed works include High Desert Hell and The Gemini Project. You can view the full edit of High Desert Hell and the teaser for Gemini below:

‘Invisible Man 2’ Is “Closer Than Its Ever Been” to Happening

Published

on

Elisabeth Moss in a very well-thought-out statement said in an interview for Happy Sad Confused that even though there have been some logistical issues for doing Invisible Man 2 there is hope on the horizon.

Podcast host Josh Horowitz asked about the follow-up and if Moss and director Leigh Whannell were any closer to cracking a solution to getting it made. “We are closer than we have ever been to cracking it,” said Moss with a huge grin. You can see her reaction at the 35:52 mark in the below video.

Happy Sad Confused

Whannell is currently in New Zealand filming another monster movie for Universal, Wolf Man, which might be the spark that ignites Universal’s troubled Dark Universe concept which hasn’t gained any momentum since Tom Cruise’s failed attempt at resurrecting The Mummy.

Also, in the podcast video, Moss says she is not in the Wolf Man film so any speculation that it’s a crossover project is left in the air.

Meanwhile, Universal Studios is in the middle of constructing a year-round haunt house in Las Vegas which will showcase some of their classic cinematic monsters. Depending on attendance, this could be the boost the studio needs to get audiences interested in their creature IPs once more and to get more films made based on them.

The Las Vegas project is set to open in 2025, coinciding with their new proper theme park in Orlando called Epic Universe.

Jake gyllenhaal presumed innocent

Jake Gyllenhaal’s limited series Presumed Innocent is dropping on AppleTV+ on June 12 instead of June 14 as originally planned. The star, whose Road House reboot has brought mixed reviews on Amazon Prime, is embracing the small screen for the first time since his appearance on Homicide: Life on the Street in 1994.

Jake Gyllenhaal’s in ‘Presumed Innocent’

Presumed Innocent is being produced by David E. Kelley, J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot, and Warner Bros. It is an adaptation of Scott Turow’s 1990 film in which Harrison Ford plays a lawyer doing double duty as an investigator looking for the murderer of his colleague.

These types of sexy thrillers were popular in the ’90s and usually contained twist endings. Here’s the trailer for the original:

According to Deadline, Presumed Innocent doesn’t stray far from the source material: “…the Presumed Innocent series will explore obsession, sex, politics and the power and limits of love as the accused fights to hold his family and marriage together.”

Up next for Gyllenhaal is the Guy Ritchie action movie titled In the Grey scheduled for release in January 2025.

Presumed Innocent is an eight-episode limited series set to stream on AppleTV+ starting June 12.
