Plot Summary:
The time was the late '50s. The place was Plainfield, Wisconsin. Not much ever happened in this quiet town of 642 people
Until the population dropped to 641. Ed Gein (Railsback) is a simple man who wants was to lead a simple life on his family's farm. But the farm is remote, the family is gone, the crops perished long ago. And the ghosts of Ed's past are coming back to haunt him. Ed's only companion in life was his domineering mother Augusta (Snodgress), and she loved Ed to a fault. She did her best to raise him as an upstanding Christian, with daily Bible readings and the occasional lash of her belt. But dear Augusta died a few years back
and Ed will never be the same. Because Ed always did have peculiar interests. Reincarnation. Head-shrinking. Cannibalism. And the wonderful world of female anatomy. Soon, Ed is doing something about it. The freshly buried bodies of Plainfield's dead women are starting to disappear. Ed spends his evenings in the local cemetery, then burns the midnight oil back at the farm. Folks in Plainfield may think Ed is a bit simple-minded, but he's actually very creative. With the help of Gray's Anatomy, Ed is making his own housewares: a lampshade here, a soup bowl there. He's especially proud of the skin suit he wears on special occasions. Now, though, Augusta's ghost is getting louder. She doesn't like the look of that oversexed barmaid Mary Hogan (Champlin). That snooty storeowner Colette Marshall (Mansell) will also have to go. And Ed is just getting started.
