Yup, Ed Gein, the Mad Butcher himself
carved a woman up and gutted and hung her up like a deer...
old Ed was also an amateur grave robber who used to wear the skin from female corpses and his mother's nighties and dance in the moonlight as aa sort of ritual to her...there is even a Slayer song called "Dead Skin Mask" that is about Ed Gein... "dance with the dead in my dreams/listen to their hallowed screams/the dead have taken my soul/temptation, lost all control..."
Ed Gein and some of his quirks were the basis for the characters Leatherface (the wearing of human skin as clothing and furniture made from human bones), Norman Bates (the mother complex), the Buffalo Bill chracter from "Silence Of The Lambs" (the skinning of women and wearing their skins) as well as numerous other movie psychos.....

EDIT - hehehe, I posted before I read that full page...I agree, the book "Deviant" is an excellent read and a chilling look into the life of Ed Gein....
