Just so sad to see what mankind is capable of. Instead of doing good in life, some people choose to do evil. I believe in "An eye for an eye". I hope these monsters get exactly what they dished out....whether in this life or the next.

I just don't understand how he was able to eat with all those dead rotting bodies around him. I mean, his entire house was littered with dead body parts. Even if you enjoyed killing people, wouldn't the smell of rotten flesh make you sick on the stomach?

I watched Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho a long time ago, I still remember the shower scene, however, I was not aware that the movie was inspired from real events. I also never heard of Ed Gein.
