Hollywood has no shortage of scandals and tragedies, but some of the most haunting cases involve celebrities who simply vanished without a trace, leaving behind nothing but mysterious clues and unanswered questions.IN THIS EPISODE: Showbiz is full of not just celebrities, but also of crime and murder. But even stranger are those cases where someone famous simply disappears without a trace, and without an explanation. *** North Carolina's Great Dismal Swamp is full of horror stories – but the worst might be the fact that the swamp appears to swallow people alive. (Swallowed Alive In Great Dismal Swamp) *** A weeping man called the police to tearfully apologize for murdering his victims… but that didn't stop him from continuing to kill again and again. (The Weepy Voiced Killer) *** In Hindu culture, it is believed if certain post-death rituals are not conducted on those who have passed away, the deceased's family would not prosper and there would be misfortunes aplenty. One family in Bhutan had to learn that the hard way. (The Stoning Ghost of Sombek) *** An apparent incident involving a “gigantic cigar-shaped UFO” somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean in May 1963 wasn't reported for almost 20 years, when a witness to the event finally came forward through a written letter of the incident. (The Atlantic UFO of 1963) *** In a beautiful little town in North Wales, children ran through the graveyard, searching for little men with big eyes and long ears. They were searching for strange fairy folk – the ‘brownies' of Bangor. (The Brownies of Bangor) *** Serial killer Ed Gein was caught and arrested for his crimes in November of 1957 – but that didn't mean Gein's neighbors would see the end of his influence on their lives. (Selling Ed Gein) *** Four people take a trip to France and stay at hotel that appeared too good to be true – because it was.

Instagram + TikTok: @investigatorslater In Part 2 of our in-depth, two-part coverage of Ed Gein, we explore the years following his mother's death — when grief, repression, and obsession finally cracked open. Gein escalated from grave-robbing to murder, driven by a delusional need to resurrect his dead mother and a grotesque desire to quite literally step into her skin. Eventually, inside his farmhouse, investigators uncovered a nightmare stitched together from human remains: masks, corsets, lampshades, skulls, belts, and even a box containing the genitalia of nine different women. It was a discovery that redefined American horror. This episode unpacks the psychology behind Gein's depravity, including his warped devotion to his domineering mother, his dissociation, and his fixation with anatomy. We also confront the question that still divides experts today: was Ed Gein criminally insane? Because the truth isn't that Ed Gein was born evil. It's that he was built by the only woman he ever loved... To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

It's been a year since the last time we sat down for a pod but this one is least recorded within the last month - we're making progress! Joe hosts JT, Sam, and Jono to talk all things games, TV (except this episode), and film. Games * Joe starts the show discussing Death Stranding, Hideo Kojima's unique open-world action game where you play a courier trying to reconnect a post-apocalyptic United States. * Sam heads to Steam Deck Corner to check out the wacky physics-based comedy of What the Golf? (a game that makes fun of golf) and the digitally adapted classic board game, Carcassonne (where players build a medieval French landscape one tile at a time). * JT and Jono give their first impressions after picking up the brand-new Switch 2 console. Film * Jono and JT review two major new films: the sleek sci-fi sequel Tron: Ares (about a highly advanced program crossing into the real world) and the gritty biographical sports drama The Smashing Machine (starring Dwayne Johnson as legendary MMA pioneer Mark Kerr). * Sam took inspiration from Ed Gein to watch the 1960 horror classic Psycho, directed by Alfred Hitchcock. * Joe wraps up the reviews with two genre films: Weapons: A new supernatural mystery-horror film about a group of children who all vanish at the same time and Arrival: Denis Villeneuve's thoughtful sci-fi drama about a linguist (Amy Adams) trying to communicate with aliens who have landed on Earth.

Hi listeners! After this week, we'll be taking a short break for the holiday. We'll be back in December with a special series to close out the year. Until then, here's Ed Gein Pt. 2. After murdering two women, robbing graves, and decorating his home with human body parts, Ed Gein found himself arrested and in the media's spotlight. We look into his trial, institutionalization, and the public's fascination with him… a fascination that still lives on today. Stay up to date with changes coming to the feed on @serialkillerspodcast!

Pirates are not usually associated with the Great Lakes, as most folklore and real historical seafaring adventures took place on the southern high seas, such as The Bahamas or the Carribean. That does not mean, however, that pirates did not exist in the Great Lakes region, because they most certatainly did. The most famous of which was "Roaring" Dan Seavey, whose playground was Lake Michigan and the port cities around her. Although not having a peg leg, a hook for a hand, or likely burying any treasure, Dan Seavey's escapades on and around the lake repeatedly led to the misery of others, as he stole, pillaged, trafficked, defrauded and killed as all the other pirates of legend did, but until his dying day, seemingly was always able to beat the rap. Scott and Mickey discuss the case of Dan Seavey, who's adventures have been told and retold for decades, as the mythlogy of his life gets more muddled between fact and fiction as the years go by. In the opening banter, we discuss an update about Fox Hollow Farms, as well as ongoing consequences of the Ed Gein series on Netflix to the small town of Plainfield.

Grave robber and the real-life inspiration for Norman Bates and Leatherface.Ed Gein, the mild-mannered handyman from Plainfield, Wisconsin, shocked the world when police discovered what lay behind his farmhouse walls: human remains, skin masks, and grisly trophies made from corpses. But beneath the horror lies a deeper psychological question — what drove him to do it? In this episode of The A–Z of Psychopaths, Simon Ford dissects the life and crimes of Ed Gein, the so-called “Butcher of Plainfield.” They explore his twisted devotion to his mother, Augusta, his macabre “projects” inspired by loneliness and delusion, and his lasting influence on horror icons from Psycho to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.Finally, we use three key traits from the Hare Psychopathy Checklist to examine whether Ed Gein really fits the profile of a psychopath — or whether he was something even more disturbing.The A–Z of Psychopaths is a Psycho Killer production.Special Mention: Laurie Metcalf's extraordinary performance as Augusta Gein in Monster: The Ed Gein Story (Netflix) brings chilling realism to one of the most controlling maternal figures in criminal history. In our view, she deserves an Emmy. What do you think?

Instagram + TikTok: @investigatorslater In Part 1 of our in-depth two-part coverage of Ed Gein, the groundwork is laid for one of the most depraved and psychologically unhinged figures in criminal history. Ed Gein, aka The Butcher of Plainfield, was a man destroyed by the death of the only person he'd ever truly known and loved: his mother. For his entire life, Augusta Gein ruled Ed with a Bible in one hand and a clenched fist in the other. She shamed every flicker of desire, punished every natural impulse, and convinced Ed that all women were wicked, sex was sin, and men were filth. Under her suffocating control, Ed's identity didn't form — it fossilized. So when Augusta finally died, Ed didn't just grieve; he unraveled. Night after night, he crept into cemeteries under the Wisconsin moon to exhume the bodies of dead women who reminded him of his mother. Then, he dragged them back to his rancid farmhouse where he hung, carved, and skinned their corpses. Piece by piece, he built what he called a “woman suit,” stitched from human skin and shaped in his mother's image. It wasn't enough to love Augusta, or even to worship her. Ed Gein wanted to be her....to climb into her flesh, zip it up, and walk the earth as his mother reborn.

This week on The Commentary Booth, Jamie Apps and Corrina Mabey dig up the past to unmask one of America's most terrifying killers — John Wayne Gacy. The duo dive into Devil In Disguise: John Wayne Gacy, the chilling true-crime drama that pulls audiences deep into the grim 1970s Chicago underworld where the “Killer Clown” hid in plain sight.Across eight tense episodes, the Peacock miniseries traces Gacy's horrifying double life as a local contractor by day and serial murderer by night. Jamie and Corrina unpack everything from Michael Chernus' unsettling portrayal of Gacy to the show's raw, gritty style that captures the era's claustrophobic fear. They also discuss how the series resists glamorising violence, instead focusing on the victims and exposing the failures of a homophobic justice system that allowed Gacy's crimes to continue for so long.The hosts debate the show's time jumps, reflect on the haunting realism of its cinematography, and explore why this series feels more Mindhunter and Dahmer than Ed Gein.Highlights Breakdown: - A Victim-Centric Masterpiece: Discover why this series stands head and shoulders above other serial killer dramatisations (looking at you, Monster: The Ed Gein Story!) by placing the victims, their families, and the lasting trauma at the forefront. - The Performance of a Monster: Our take on Michael Chernus's terrifyingly accurate portrayal of Gacy, capturing his chilling instant switch from charismatic public figure to menacing killer. - Gritty 70s Authenticity: How the show's raw, unglamorous style and clever editing choices create a gripping and respectful tone, reminiscent of fan-favourites like Mindhunter and Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story. - Societal Failures Exposed: A deep dive into the homophobia and systemic police failures that allowed Gacy to prey on marginalised young men for far too long. - The Final Verdict: Is the series flawless? We discuss the pros and cons, including some divisive time-jumping narrative choices in the later episodes.Whether you're fascinated by true crime or drawn to stories that confront the darkest corners of humanity, this episode delivers a gripping, reflective discussion about this heavy but essential watch for true crime aficionados. Tune in for a spoiler-filled review that explores the real monster behind the makeup.This week's episode is brought to you byAustralian Wrestling CardsCheck out more great content from Pario Magazine on our website.-------------------------------------------------------------SUPPORT PARIO MAGAZINE & THE COMMENTARY BOOTH- PATREON- BUY MERCH- AMAZON PRIME VIDEO- TUBEBUDDY- Subscribe to AEW Plus using my code (q0yydoz) to earn $10 in FITE credit- Shop Online With Honey- Shop Online With SatechiMY EQUIPMENT- Elgato Facecam- Rode PodMic- Elgato Wave Mic Arm LP- Streamlabs Talk StudioFOLLOW JAMIE ON SOCIAL MEDIA- Twitter- Facebook- Instagram- TikTokFOLLOW PARIO MAGAZINE ON SOCIAL MEDIA- Twitter- Facebook- Instagram
Send us a textEver watch your favorite book turn into a movie and feel both seen and slightly betrayed? We dive straight into that delicious tension with Regretting You and a wave of upcoming adaptations like Verity, The Housemaid, and Reminders of Him, unpacking why certain casts nail the voice in your head while others miss the mark. From there, the conversation widens into memory itself: how All the Colors of the Dark earns its big ending by building layer after layer, and how memoirs get written from fragments, ghostwritten structure, and the artifacts we keep.Then the ground shifts. One of us is losing the family home—the place of Christmas mornings, tornado scares, daycare noise, and a deck built with a dad's hands. We talk about the ache of letting go, the sibling politics of heirlooms, and why an Oreo tin can hold more meaning than a million-dollar remodel. At the same time, we celebrate small-house joy and local pride, trading notes on Anoka's clean streets, historic houses, bookstores, and quietly excellent coffee. Practicality threads through it all: remote-work reset spots, budget beauty that doesn't insult your wallet, and how to turn “pantry panic” into resourceful cooking and smart donations.Pop culture interrupts with a jolt: a chilling Ed Gein series as actor's masterclass and cautionary tale, and a Love Is Blind season where no one says “I do.” We debate money, image, and values that only reveal themselves under everyday pressure—service staff, work hours, family habits. Finally, we get honest about addiction. Memoirs remind us dependency can grow anywhere, genetics included. Our family policy is simple and firm: if you feel unsafe, text a pin, and we'll come—no lectures, no questions, just the ride. We close with small abundance: backyard eggs with sunset-orange yolks, coffee you'll side-eye then love, and the relief of friends who show up.If this mix of story, home, pop culture, and practical care speaks to you, tap follow, share with a friend who needs it, and leave a quick review. Your notes keep this little community growing.www.magicmind/best50Support the showhttps://linktr.ee/onourbestbehavior
The world's attention has been gripped by the story of Ed Gein thanks to a confronting and disturbing new Netflix series. When police entered his Wisconsin farmhouse in 1957, they uncovered a scene so grotesque it redefined horror itself. Gein's crimes inspired cinema's darkest characters, from Psycho's Norman Bates to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre's 'Leatherface'. This episode delves into the mind behind the madness and the real monster who changed horror forever. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Interview with Mac Quayle on Scoring Monster: The Ed Gein Story I recently sat down to interview Mac Quayle the Emmy-winning composer, known for his iconic work on Mr. Robot and most recently Monster: The Ed Gein Story. Our conversation traced his journey from club DJ to composer of some of television's most unsettling soundscapes. From Dance Floors to Film Scores Before Hollywood, Mac was shaping late-night dance floors as a DJ and remixer in New York. But with the advent of streaming and the death of music sales Mac decided to change lanes. That pivot led him to collaborate with legendary composer Cliff Martinez, and Mac moved from commercial music to cinematic storytelling Scoring Monster With Monster, Mac wasn't interested in jump scares or obvious horror tropes. Instead, he built a score rooted in psychological dread - leaning into quiet tension and emotional unease - the kind that lingers long after the scene ends. The result is a sonic world that feels intimate, unsettling and hauntingly human. We dived deep into his creative toolkit of modular synths, processed textures, and unconventional string techniques - exploring the tactile noises that make strings feel alive, anxious and close to the skin.

Send us a textEver watch your favorite book turn into a movie and feel both seen and slightly betrayed? We dive straight into that delicious tension with Regretting You and a wave of upcoming adaptations like Verity, The Housemaid, and Reminders of Him, unpacking why certain casts nail the voice in your head while others miss the mark. From there, the conversation widens into memory itself: how All the Colors of the Dark earns its big ending by building layer after layer, and how memoirs get written from fragments, ghostwritten structure, and the artifacts we keep.Then the ground shifts. One of us is losing the family home—the place of Christmas mornings, tornado scares, daycare noise, and a deck built with a dad's hands. We talk about the ache of letting go, the sibling politics of heirlooms, and why an Oreo tin can hold more meaning than a million-dollar remodel. At the same time, we celebrate small-house joy and local pride, trading notes on Anoka's clean streets, historic houses, bookstores, and quietly excellent coffee. Practicality threads through it all: remote-work reset spots, budget beauty that doesn't insult your wallet, and how to turn “pantry panic” into resourceful cooking and smart donations.Pop culture interrupts with a jolt: a chilling Ed Gein series as actor's masterclass and cautionary tale, and a Love Is Blind season where no one says “I do.” We debate money, image, and values that only reveal themselves under everyday pressure—service staff, work hours, family habits. Finally, we get honest about addiction. Memoirs remind us dependency can grow anywhere, genetics included. Our family policy is simple and firm: if you feel unsafe, text a pin, and we'll come—no lectures, no questions, just the ride. We close with small abundance: backyard eggs with sunset-orange yolks, coffee you'll side-eye then love, and the relief of friends who show up.If this mix of story, home, pop culture, and practical care speaks to you, tap follow, share with a friend who needs it, and leave a quick review. Your notes keep this little community growing.www.magicmind/best50Support the showhttps://linktr.ee/onourbestbehavior
We explore the twisted mind of Ed Gein, whose gruesome killings inspired horror movies Pyscho, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and The Silence of the Lambs. Gein was known for years as the local handyman in Plainfield, until it was uncovered in 1957 that he killed two women and robbed the graves of multiple other women.

Netflix's Monster: The Ed Gein Story shocked audiences - but does it really capture the truth? We're joined by Jim Clemente, former FBI profiler, criminal behavioural analyst, and writer for Criminal Minds, to analyze how Netflix dramatized Ed Gein's psychology and what the real offender profile looks like.From Gein's obsession with his mother to his post-mortem rituals and the myth of the “serial killer” label, Clemente brings a real FBI lens to separate fact from Hollywood fiction. He also shares insights on how true cases - like Jeffrey Dahmer and Albert Fish - reveal the psychology of killers who blur the line between horror and reality. According to Jim Clemente, retired FBI behavioural analyst and criminal profiler, when it comes to the "nature vs. nurture" debate, "genetics loads the gun, personality and psychology aim it, and your experiences pull the trigger..."As a criminal profiler, it was his job to catch murderers, serial killers and rapists and pick up the slack where forensic evidence failed. Clemente explains how he went about his job tracking down some of the world's most dangerous people. Clemente is a retired FBI behavioural analyst and criminal profiler, and co-host of "@realcrimeprofile929 ," a true crime podcast distributed by Wondery.

New autopsy findings in the Brian Kohberger case reveal chilling evidence of a psychos*xual sadist - from disturbing online searches to a possible “trophy photo” taken the morning of the Idaho murders. Former NYPD Detective Bill Cannon from @PoliceofftheCuff joins hosts Tom Zenner and Kato Kaelin to break down the dark psychology behind Kohberger's crimes and what investigators may have missed.The episode dives deep into the Idaho Murder case, why some experts believe it was a sadistic, s*xually driven murder, and what clues point to Kohberger's obsession with control, rage, and rejection. Bill shares an insider perspective from decades in homicide, explains how profilers identify psychosexual killers, and why calling this “not a s*xual murder” might be a major investigative oversight. We discussed the following in the episode:Autopsy reveals disturbing psychos*xual detailsGuest introduction: NYPD detective Bill CannonOverkill, rage, and s*xual motivation in the Idaho murdersThe “trophy photo” and Kohberger's sadistic searchesInvestigative oversights and the plea deal falloutCould Bryan have become a serial killer?Profiling psychos*xual sadists and serial killersThe torn-down Idaho house and public image controlHow DNA and digital forensics caught himHolding parents accountable for violent crimesLuigi Mangione case: shocking NYC murderWhy do people defend killers, and the role of fameRevisiting O.J.

They are three of the most infamous names in true crime history: Ed Gein, Jeffrey Dahmer, and the Menendez Brothers. From Gein's grave robberies and macabre trophies to Dahmer's horrific apartment crimes and the Menendez brothers' shocking family murder, these cases shattered any sense of normalcy and redefined what horror means in real life.Ed Gein's crimes inspired Hollywood's darkest creations, from Psycho to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and now he is the subject of a new Netflix series. Jeffrey Dahmer's story blurred the line between human and monster, while the Menendez brothers' trial exposed the disturbing mix of privilege, trauma, and violence that lurked behind a mansion's walls.This is night two of True Crime Recaps' Halloween Week, and the darkness is only getting deeper. We began with Richard Ramirez, but it all leads to our Halloween Day finale.Which case do you think Netflix should tackle next?

What began as the search for a missing shopkeeper exposed the twisted mind of a lonely recluse whose obsession with his domineering mother drove him to grave robbing, murder, and unspeakable acts of desecration.This is the chilling true story of Ed Gein—the inspiration behind Psycho, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and The Silence of the Lambs.00:00 - Start!00:42 - Why Ed Gein still dominates true crime03:15 - Early life & Plainfield, Wisconsin context06:08 - Inside the farmhouse: what police discovered10:22 - “Butcher of Plainfield”: media vs. records14:40 - Mother, isolation, and psychology debates18:05 - Confirmed crimes vs. urban legends22:30 - Evidence, confession, and the investigation27:18 - Trial, commitment, and legal outcome31:04 - From reality to film: Psycho, Texas Chain Saw, Silence35:12 - Netflix's “Monster: The Ed Gein Story” — what it gets right/wrong39:20 - Why the case keeps resurfacing (ethics & impact)42:55 - Lessons, myths busted, and final thoughts45:10 - Thank you to the crowd & what's nextReddit- Our Subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/FivesACrowd- Our Account: https://www.reddit.com/user/FivesACrowdPodcastFollow Our Personal AccountsAustin - https://allmylinks.com/austinspomerCam - https://www.instagram.com/effinburch/Chris - https://www.instagram.com/thechrishummel/Tony - https://www.instagram.com/theonlytonyc/Zach - https://www.instagram.com/zvanbeekum/Hashtags#JoinTheCrowd #HitTheBell #PodcastP.O.

It's a special two-hander where Mark and Lawrence reflect on the appeal of horror and how the new Monster: Ed Gein Netflix show has to contribute, given that it is not merely a (very loose) presentation of real events, and itself a horror drama, but also a commentary on the Hollywood properties influenced by the Ed Gein murders, including Psycho, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Silence of the Lambs. We bring this up to date by including discussion of the Terrifier films as well as the work of Rob Zombie.
