         Hello, I am Robert G. Male.  
         Welcome to WraithStop.  Here you will find links that I think are of interest.  
         Furthermore these are links that I want to keep track of because they have given me either ideas or some other form of 
         inspiration for my writing.  Links are listed in order lowest to highest both in the date they are given and the order 
         in which they appear (meaning: read them from the bottom up for a certain day's list).  Some of these sites may require 
         you to sign up for free.  Without further ado, the links... 
       
  
 
 Return to the full month.
 
 
 June 7, 2011Ed Gein: The Inspiration for Buffalo Bill and Psycho
 Tags: 
Buffalo Bill, creepy, Ed Gein, grave robbing, horror, inspiration, murder, necrophilia, Psycho (1960) (movie), serial killer, Silence of the Lambs (1991) (movie), Texas Chain Saw Massacre, true story.I'm going to spoiler this a bit just to tell you in advance that 
while he was the inspiration, Gein killed only potentially three people. Most movies that speak of Gein 
insist on portraying him as killing a lot of people to sensationalise what is already a sensational tale 
of the true macabre. Just for note, this is all inspirational in the sense of being good fodder for fiction 
of all sick sorts. I do not, and hope others do not, have anything but disdain or perhaps mild passing pity 
for true killers like this no matter how much we enjoy creating and enjoying our horror genre works. P.S. Ed 
Gein's story added some inspiration to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre as well.
