Published

The locals of Plainfield, Wisconsin referred to Ed Gein as “Weird old Eddie.” The handyman, who was born in La Crosse County, had begun to develop an extremely and unhealthy interest in the anatomy of the female body . That bizarre fetish was fed by his love for medical encyclopedias, books on anatomy, pulp horror novels and pornographic magazines. This fascination grew and then Gein soon began digging up decaying female corpses in Wisconsin cemeteries. It has been documented in numerous articles around the web, that he would dissect and keep parts of heads, sex organs, livers, hearts and intestines.  Seemed he was especially fascinated by the female genitalia, and of course! Our beautiful peaches are as soft and delicate as such. But not in the way he saw them. He would fondle and play with dissected labias, stuffing them into a pair of women’s panties, which he would then wear around the house- Not an image I want burned into my head. I like to think the term “Weird old Eddie” is slang for twisted fuck.

Gein’s Farmhouse

After some time, Gein became less satisfied and began to seek out fresher samples. His victims were usually women of his mother’s age. One in particular named Mary Hogan- aged 54, disappeared from the tavern she ran in December of 1954. Another, Bernice Worden, a woman in her late fifties who ran the local hardware store, disappeared in November of 1957. As fate would have it, Mrs. Worden’s son Frank, was also the sheriff’s deputy. Upon learning that Ed Gein had been spotted in town on the day of his mother’s disappearance, Frank Worden and the sheriff went to check out the lovely old Gein place. What they found was an unspeakable horror and a gruesome collection of human flesh objects. Here are just a few images of the horrifying discoveries found in the nightmare farmhouse.

Upon entering a shed on his property, they made their first horrific discovery of the night: Bernice Worden’s corpse. Her decapitated body hung upside down by ropes at her wrists and a crossbar at her ankles. Even more disturbing was the discovery of her body being hollow, the ribcage split and the body “dressed out” like that of a deer.

The head of Mary Hogan was also discovered in a box.

Now.. Here is where it really starts to get weird…

Apparently Gein used these skulls as soup bowls. Campbell’s anyone?

What a lovely gathering of knick- knacks. The face mask is quite the conversational piece, yes?

On July 26, 1984, Ed Gein died of respiratory and heart failure due to cancer in Goodland Hall at the Mendota Mental Health Institute. All nipples everywhere sighed a huge breath of relief.

Trailer for ‘The Exorcism’ Has Russell Crowe Possessed

Published

on

The latest exorcism movie is about to drop this summer. It’s aptly titled The Exorcism and it stars Academy Award winner turned B-movie savant Russell Crowe. The trailer dropped today and by the looks of it, we are getting a possession movie that takes place on a movie set.

Just like this year’s recent demon-in-media-space film Late Night With the Devil, The Exorcism happens during a production. Although the former takes place on a live network talk show, the latter is on an active sound stage. Hopefully, it won’t be entirely serious and we’ll get some meta chuckles out of it.

The film will open in theaters on June 7, but since Shudder also acquired it, it probably won’t be long after that until it finds a home on the streaming service.

Crowe plays, “Anthony Miller, a troubled actor who begins to unravel while shooting a supernatural horror film. His estranged daughter, Lee (Ryan Simpkins), wonders if he’s slipping back into his past addictions or if there’s something more sinister at play. The film also stars Sam Worthington, Chloe Bailey, Adam Goldberg and David Hyde Pierce.”

Crowe did see some success in last year’s The Pope’s Exorcist mostly because his character was so over-the-top and infused with such comical hubris it bordered on parody. We will see if that is the route actor-turned-director Joshua John Miller takes with The Exorcism.

’28 Years Later’ Trilogy Taking Shape With Serious Star Power

Published

on

28 years later

Danny Boyle is revisiting his 28 Days Later universe with three new films. He will direct the first, 28 Years Later, with two more to follow. Deadline is reporting that sources say Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ralph Fiennes have been cast for the first entry, a sequel to the original. Details are being kept under wraps so we don’t know how or if the first original sequel 28 Weeks Later fits into the project.

Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Ralph Fiennes

Boyle will direct the first movie but it’s unclear which role he will take on in the subsequent films. What is known is Candyman (2021) director Nia DaCosta is scheduled to direct the second film in this trilogy and that the third will be filmed immediately afterward. Whether DaCosta will direct both is still unclear.

Alex Garland is writing the scripts. Garland is having a successful time at the box office right now. He wrote and directed the current action/thriller Civil War which was just knocked out of the theatrical top spot by Radio Silence’s Abigail.

There is no word yet on when, or where, 28 Years Later will start production.

28 Days Later

The original film followed Jim (Cillian Murphy) who wakes from a coma to find that London is currently dealing with a zombie outbreak.
