Ed Gein - The real Leatherface

in horror •  8 years ago 

I watched some documentaries on several serial killers, I was researching psychopathy.
I noticed something, they mostly occurred during the 1970s. No really, a lot of the most notorious famous serial killers happened during the 70s. What the hell was in the water back then? Maybe they are what spawned the 80s horror movie classics? Some I know started in the late 70s too.

Yea, I think a lot of it is their upbringing. I have did a lot of research on serial killers, and common similarities are abusive childhoods, absent fathers, bed wetting into their teens, just to name a few. I'm sure they were inspiration for the horror movies, The Town that Dreaded Sundown was based on a real serial killer, not sure if you've seen that one, but its good.
