Cassaro Winery True Crime and Wine: Ed Gein: The Original Monster

Ed Gein’s horrific crimes included murder and grave-robbing, but his legend lives on for what he did with his victims after their death. When officers raided Gein’s rural farm they discovered a decapitated victim hanging from a meat hook, a mask made of skin, tools honed from bones and a lampshade of skin. Decades later his demented crimes are still documented on television shows and movies.
