Monsters Ed Gein ?

[Hellokitty]

Just finished watching this series on Netflix. Season 1 was Jeffrey Dahmer, 2 was the Menendez Brothers. Both stories I can remember when they happened and am familiar with. I've watched stuff on other serial killers like Ted Bundy, and Gacy...but I never knew about Ed Gein.
Okay so I guess it's because I never heard about Ed Gein that I found the show deeply disturbing.
If anyone follows this stuff and watched this series can you tell me if it's accurate on what happened.
In show it goes into how Gein was the inspiration for other serial killers and slasher movies. I don't watch slasher movies, but it did highlight Silence of the Lambs, which I have watched a few times. Was Silence of the Lambs based on a real serial killer?

Ed Gein committed he crimes in the 1940s and 1950s, but he was only convicted of the murder of a woman in 1957.

His house and farm contained multiple body parts and objects made from human skin that Gein admitted he got by digging up corpses recently buried.


Although he was suspected of being involved in other disappearances of women dating back to 1947.

He was the inspiration for Norman Bates in the 1960 thriller “Psycho”.

Series went into "Psycho", which while I'm familiar with the movie I've never actually watched it.

Prime has "Citizen X", the story of Andrei Chikatilo. He murdered something 52 people before caught.

I resided in Minnesota while Ed Gein was going about his ghoulish activities in the 1950's. The newspapers had stories of his robbing graves and using the skins to make lamp shades, et cetera.

Gein was the inspiration for Norman Bates in Psycho, Leatherface in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Buffalo Bill in The Silence of the Lambs.

The actual story is slightly less lurid. He killed two local women over a 10 year period, and stole bodies from graves. He eventually died in an insane asylum.
