On this episode we'll talk about Edward Theodore Gein (August 27, 1906 – July 26, 1984), also known as the Butcher of Plainfield or the Plainfield Ghoul. Gein was an American murderer, suspected serial killer and body snatcher. Gein's crimes, committed around his hometown of Plainfield, Wisconsin, gathered widespread notoriety in 1957 after authorities discovered that he had exhumed corpses from local graveyards and fashioned keepsakes from their bones and skin. He also confessed to killing two women: tavern owner Mary Hogan in 1954, and hardware store owner Bernice Worden in 1957. Hollywood would later draw inspiration from Gein creating several of the most famous horror movie characters including Norman Bates (Psycho), Buffalo Bill (Silence of the Lambs) and Leatherface (Texas Chainsaw Massacre). We'll also play The Wheel of Death with lucky contestant Noah Wood and Mike will talk about his spinal cord injury and the reason he falls asleep during the show. ⁠Be sure to visit our ⁠⁠WEBSITE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ WATCH⁠⁠⁠ our podcast on our ⁠⁠YouTube Channel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ WHEEL OF DEATH - Sign up to play ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.
