History

Historical Context

In November 1957 Wisconsin deputies arrested Edward Gein after finding hardware-store owner Bernice Worden’s decapitated body on his farm and cataloguing several skulls and other skin-crafted items. The gruesome case sparked nationwide fascination with body-snatching killers, influencing later collectors such as Benjamin Larson, whose recently uncovered Fond du Lac house contains Gein dossiers, Zodiac .22 bullets and a Jason Voorhees mannequin.
