On November 16, 1957, police in Plainfield, Wisconsin, entered the home of Mr. Ed Gein and discovered body parts used in unimagined ways: lips as light-chain pulls; lampshades and chair coverings made from human skin; skull caps fashioned as bowls; nipples sewn onto a string; the local hardware shop's owner, Bernice Worden, gutted, decapitated, and hung upside down in the woodshed to bleed out; human face masks; and the facial skin and attached hairy scalp of Mary Hogan, a bar owner who'd disappeared three years earlier, dried and stuffed into a brown paper bag. Gein confessed to only two killings (Bernice Worden and Mary Hogan); all the rest of his human remains were, according to Gein, taken from local graveyards and "improved."

"When you get old, the only things you remember are the things you dared to do and the things you didn't dare to do. All the daily stuff, the things you had to do, the things someone paid you to do, blur into the nothingness of 'unimportant to your soul', and when you look back on your life you only see the dreams you made happen and the dreams you were afraid to pursue." (P.J. Gaenir's grandfather)   Dare! Chance favors the bold.
