		Gein left the rooms in the house, those he most closely associated with his mother, such as the sitting room and her bedroom, completely untouched, as shrines.
		Ed Gein remained for many years a bogeyman figure in much of America and his crimes still resonate today as an example of the nightmarish consequences which can follow on from a warped childhood.

		The life of Gein (rhymes with "mean") inspired Psycho, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Silence of the Lambs, together with various distinctly lenient heavy-metal lyrics; and, of course, he may have been the catalyst for the high-camp pop song about grave-robbing, I Want My Baby Back, by Jimmy Cross.
		Ed lopes around his manky, smelly house all day, reading books called Vicious Jungle Headhunters, dwelling on the grisly objects that he has assembled, and eating pork and beans from bowls that he has fashioned from hollowed-out skulls.
		Parello contrives an amusing scene in which Ed shows a female neighbour around the homestead and confesses to her that he can't throw anything away: there are piles of mouldy old newspapers all the way up the stairs.
