The new series reveals new recordings. These have never been heard before and will take viewers to the 1950s. It’s time to hear from Ed’s own mind.

Ed Gein was made infamous for his grave robbing and serial killing ways. As we learned more about him, we found out that he had a twisted relationship with his mother, which led to the homicidal tendencies that he ended up developing. Little did his mother know that she would end up with a son who committed some heinous murders.

Psycho: The Lost Tapes of Ed Gein delves into more of his thoughts through the recordings that have been found. This was a man who was used as inspiration for Psycho by Alfred Hitchcock and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The tapes start off with his early grave-robbing years and lead up to his eventual arrest and the police realizing just how many murders he was responsible for.
