Ed Gein gives Dahmer some pretty good competition for the Wisconsin title. My local library has two copies of J. Robert Nash's "Bloodletters and Bad Men". One is the original hardback edition from the early '70's, the other is the paper-bound edition from the late '90's. If you hold the hardback version closed while it's lying on its spine, then take your hands away, it falls open to the entry for Ed Gein. If you do the same thing with the later edition, it falls open to Jeffrey Dahmer.
along with 'Texas Chain Saw Masacre', 'Deranged' and 'Silence of the Lambs', there are thousands of Wisconsinites wearing cheese on their heads, much like Ed Gein would wear the dead faces of his victims, while he danced naked and howled at the moon.
I'm from Michigan and I never heard of this guy. What about Henry Lee Lucas, who started his career in murder by killing his mother in my home state even though he wasn't born here? What about the Oakland County Child Killer? Coral Eugene Watts? Norman Collins?
