EP 88: ED GEIN - A BLUE PRINT FOR HORROR!

He Campers, I’d like to give you a disclaimer on this week's episode. The subject material is a little more heavy this time around because we are covering true crime. We are going to talk about a monster that hides itself in plain sight and they do it so well because this monster is in fact a human. This week's episode covers the true story and crimes of Ed Geins. A man whose life inspired movies like: Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Psycho and Silence of the Lambs. He was responsible for murder, grave robbing and so much more. Take a listen to this week's episode and hear about it.
