Status Updates From Did You Hear What Eddie Gei...

"In the matter of this kind, I must rely on the opinions of experts. I can't see how my opinion can be anything other than to find this defendant insane. I so find him and do hereby recommit him to the central state hospital in Waupun for an indeterminate term of commitment." -- Judge Robert H. Gollmar

"A creature out of folklore. Something about the human imagination, I guess. When a homicidal maniac like Gein comes around, the mind just can't grasp reality, so he gets turned into a legend." -- A Reporter

"Happened just about a year ago. Eddie showed up on the front porch, real neighbor -like, with some meat wrapped up in brown paper. Said he'd shot a deer and figured we might like venison. I thought it odd at the time, since I never known him for a hunter. Now I know what sort of meat that really was. Good thing we never et a bite of it or we'd 'a been cannibals, just like him." -- A Farmer

Virtually overnight, the tiny town of Plainfield -- formally so obscure that even most wisconsinites were unaware of its existence -- gained nationwide notoriety. Newspaper reporters, television and radio crews, and correspondence for national news magazines invaded the streets seeking out interviews with anyone who had information about the man the press had already dubbed the "Mad Butcher of Plainfield." -- HS

After the discovery of Bernice Worden's corpse in Gein's summer kitchen, police began scouring the rest of the house, looking for evidence related to that single grotesque crime. They could have never imagined that their search would quickly turn into a nightmare excavation. An archeological dig in hell. -- HS

Eddie: If I want it bad enough... If I will it... I can bring you back, Mother. I know I can! And Now, A Moment From Our Sponsor: My Wash Days are Holidays! PUSH BUTTON TECHNOLOGY! ... Dad knows! It's the brand for MILDNESS and FLAVOR! Merry Christmas for every smoker. ... Ten hours to DIE on a MEAT HOOK! And Now Back to Our Regularly Scheduled Programming!

GEORGE (father): Keep your cruel God, Augusta. If he looks kindly on a hateful thing like you... and orphans me... leaves me in misery all my days... I'd rather... die... a heathen. [Goult Funeral Home. Tuesday, April 2, 1940.] AUGUSTA (mother): Died on April Fools' Day. Fitting.

The isolated Plainfield farm was not, as Augusta hoped, a sanctuary from the sins of man. It instead was a self-imposed prison manufactured from their flawed union. An incubator for madness. -- HS

We won't allow you to cheat yourself! You must see PSYCHO from beginning to end to enjoy it fully. Therefore, do not expect to be admitted into the theater after the start of each performance of the picture. We say no one -- and we mean no one -- not even the manager's brother, the President of the United States, or the Queen of England (God bless her)! -- Alfred Hitchcock

Psycho was also the first time a flushing toilet had ever been seen on screen. -- HS

You can't apply mortality to insane persons. -- HS
