So today we'll tell you all about Ed's victims, his life, and the twisted crimes he committed, and how Ed's warped mental state became the inspiration for not one, but several of the world's most iconic horror films.

Welcome to Crimes Of, the show that takes you into different corners of the true crime universe to explore the biggest cases that changed the course of history.

Each eight to 12 episode season, we will dive deeper into the themes, from movies to music to scandals to crimes of passion and heartbreaking disappearances.

Every Tuesday, we will be here to share these stories in a whole new light.

And you can catch the show on YouTube, where we will include visuals that bring the cases to life.

Robert Bloch.

So it turns out Bloch was writing the novel Psycho in 1958, 35 miles away from where Gein lived.

And this is when all of these crimes are happening.

No. What's that?

It's basically, like, this theory that it kinda goes back to, like, fate and destiny, where something is always meant to be, and like, whatever's meant to be will be sort of thing, but, like, that your fate is predetermined, and that you have these moments where you kind of pass by someone or something that's meant to be in your life so many times before it actually solidifies.

So for someone who might find a romantic partner, perhaps they're looking back at childhood photos, and they see a photo of themselves standing together on, like, the deck of a cruise ship that both of their families went on vacation at the same time.

You know, something like that, where it's like, was this always meant to be, and he just was always finding himself around this house for this exact moment?

[laughs] Okay, but wait, wait, we totally need to hear about this.

So the house that we moved into, my husband and I, a few years ago, we know the whole history of, like, the land, the people who've lived here before.

So there's by no accounts, like, any murders or anything that has happened before in this house that would indicate it being haunted.

But since my child was born, he's been interacting with people that I can't see, and specific to his room.
