Ed Gein: Original Psycho

Inspired by the chilling rediscovery of Ed Gein’s original three-day police interrogation transcripts, this extraordinary two-part series brings to life one of America’s most infamous true crime stories in a way never seen before. Seamlessly blending authentic actor-led voice recordings of the transcripts, AI-assisted dramatic reconstructions of 1950s rural America, and rare, unseen archive footage unearthed from local historical societies and private collections, this series redefines the genre with emotional depth and cinematic horror.

Through interviews with pathologists, psychologists, historians, and local experts, the story explores the psychological abyss of Gein’s mother complex, schizophrenia, and identity fragmentation. It also traces the dark legacy he left behind: how Psycho, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and The Silence of the Lambs all owe their twisted roots to one unassuming handyman in rural Wisconsin.
