Ed Gein is a simple man who wants to lead a simple life on his family's farm. But the farm is remote, the family is gone, the crops perished long ago. And the ghosts of Ed's past are coming back to haunt him. Ed's only companion in life was his domineering mother, Augusta. But dear Augusta died a few years back, and Ed will never be the same. Because Ed always did have peculiar interests. Reincarnation. Head-shrinking. Cannibalism. And the wonderful world of female anatomy. This is the true story of the infamous serial killer whose life was the inspiration for "Psycho," "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre," and "The Silence of the Lambs." Ed Gein, a shy and retiring 1950s Wisconsin farmer, shocked the nation in 1957 when he was discovered to be a deeply deranged serial killer. Gein, a serial killer of nightmarish proportions, became the inspiration for Robert Bloch's novel PSYCHO, adapted for Hitchcock's legendary film, as well as the films THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE and THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS. ED GEIN recreates the early years of the reclusive man (Steve Railsback) who was raised in relative seclusion by an abusive father and an extremely domineering and puritanical mother (Carrie Snodgress.) As Ed grew to adulthood in the small farming community of Plainfield, Wisconsin he developed an unnatural obsession with his mother and her ultimate approval. After her death, Ed was possessed by her spirit, psychologically unable to give up his lifelong adoration of his deeply devout, brutal, and deranged companion. Driven insane by his own obsessions, Ed became an amateur grave robber in Plainfield and eventually became a solitary practioner of grotesque anatomy experiments and cannibalism. His fetishistic infatuation with the female body and bloodthirsty repressed lust eventually led him to murder the first of his victims, a seductive bartender (Sally Champlin), who Ed believed his mother would disapprove of. Eventually, in 1957, as Ed became more and more consumed by murder, he killed again and was eventually caught at his home--a gruesome and deeply horrific shrine to his bizarre rituals, cannibalism, and necrophilia. This dark and brutally violent film sheds new light on the strange and terrifying man whose deeply disturbing life has haunted the nation's subconscious for decades. Ed Gein Reviews: "...[Parello is] an honourable devotee of a higher tradition of horror, eschewing shocks and gore for a degree of intellectual distance and placid remove..."
-- Mark Kermode, Sight and Sound "It reminds us that, outside of Hollywood, serial killers are no laughing matter."
-- Neil Smith, Uncut

 Could Of Been Better Makes Gein Look Stupid
This was a big disappointment! After learning everything about Ed Gein and seeing the movies that were inspired by him, I decided to rent this movie. I was hoping it would tell mostly everything that Ed Gein did. The Movie did tell mostly what Ed Gein did, but it also made Ed Gein look stupid and some of the things in the movie should of been taking out. There was a few things that were stupid in the movie that made Ed Gein look real dumb and made you not afraid nor feel bad for him. Infact every person that Ed Gein killed in this movie I never felt bad for! The Movie lacks in charcter depth, its un-scary, and the acting is weak I think. Also the visuals were extremely fake! This Movie seems like a made for t.v movie instead of an actual movie! Bad Movie! If Ed Gein saw this right now he would probably kill himself from embarassment because it made him look so stupid!

Vincent Price has one of his juiciest roles in 1958's HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL as millionaire playboy Frederick Loren, who invites five guests out to a genuine haunted house, offering them each $10,000 if they spend the night. Elisha Cook Jr. plays a nervous alcoholic who has been in this house before and witnessed some terrible things. Mr. Loren's beautiful but treacherous wife (Carol Ohmart) is also present--and might be out to kill Frederick during the course of the evening; then again, he might be out to kill her. Severed heads, a skeleton, an acid vat, ghostly screams, and a noose that creeps around on its own and strangles unsuspecting victims are just some of the treats in a film that has been spooking delighted audiences on late-night TV for decades. Producer-director William Castle claimed this was filmed in a process called Emergo, which meant that at a key moment a glow-in-the-dark skeleton on a wire was rigged to sail over the audience's heads. The skeleton is long since gone, but the goofy thrills remain in this classic tale, from a script by Robb White.
Price also stars in THE BAT (1959), another haunted house mystery, this one based on the Gothic novel by Mary Roberts Rinehart. Agnes Moorehead plays a mystery writer who has just moved into a spooky old mansion. Its former owner was recently killed--but not before hiding one million ill-gotten dollars somewhere in the house; now, a nefarious killer known only as "The Bat" is trying to find the money, and bodies and mysteries pile up in the strange old house.
