Ed Gein Bio - Serial Killer
|
Born at the turn of the century into
the small farming community of Plainfield, Wisconsin, Gein lived a repressive
and solitary life on his family homestead with a weak, ineffectual brother and
domineering mother who taught him from an early age that sex was a sinful thing.
Eddie ran the family's 160-acre farm on the outskirts of Plainfield until his
brother Henry died in 1944 and his mother in 1945. When she died her son was a
thirty-nine-year-old bachelor, still emotionally enslaved to the woman who had
tyrannized his life. The rest of the house, however, soon degenerated into a
madman's shambles. Thanks to federal subsidies, Gein no longer needed to farm
his land, and he abandoned it to do odd jobs here and there for the Plainfield
residents, to earn him a little extra cash. But he remained alone in the
enormous farmhouse, haunted by the ghost of his overbearing mother, whose
bedroom he kept locked and undisturbed, exactly as it had been when she was
alive. He also sealed off the drawing room and five more upstairs rooms, living
only in one downstairs room and the kitchen.
