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.

Now.. Here is where it really starts to get weird…

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.

Watch ‘The Burning’ At The Location Where It Was Filmed

Published

on

Fangoria is reporting that fans of the 1981 slasher The Burning will be able to have a screening of the film at the location where it was filmed. The movie is set at Camp Blackfoot which is actually the Stonehaven Nature Preserve in Ransomville, New York.

This ticketed event will take place on August 3. Guests will be able to take a tour of the grounds as well as enjoy some campfire snacks along with the screening of The Burning.

The Burning

The film came out in the early ’80s when teen slashers were being churned out in magnum force. Thanks to Sean S. Cunningham’s Friday the 13th, filmmakers wanted to get in on the low-budget, high-profit movie market and a casket load of these types of films were produced, some better than others.

The Burning is one of the good ones, mostly because of the special effects from Tom Savini who had just come off of his groundbreaking work on Dawn of the Dead and Friday the 13th. He declined to do the sequel because of its illogical premise and instead signed on to do this movie. Also, a young Jason Alexander who would later go on to play George in Seinfeld is a featured player.

Because of its practical gore, The Burning had to be heavily edited before it received an R-rating. The MPAA was under the thumb of protest groups and political bigwigs to censor violent films at the time because slashers were just so graphic and detailed in their gore.

Tickets are $50, and if you want a special t-shirt, that will cost you another $25, You can get all the information by visiting the On Set Cinema webpage.
