Who was the real Normal Bates – Part 1 of 4 [The Astounding B Monster]

Fans of vintage horror films tend not to be drawn to the exploits of real-life serial killers; for our "fixes" of macabre mayhem, we turn instead to the silver screen and the (generally bloodless) bloodbaths harmlessly play-acted on Hollywood sound stages. And yet the name Ed Gein is familiar to most horror fans: We know that the shiftless, middle-aged Wisconsin ne'er-do-well was responsible for a string of grisly backwoods killings and mutilations (not always in that order), and the reason we know is because Robert Bloch reportedly used him as the model for the character of Norman Bates in the novel Psycho.
