Episode Title: The Butcher of Plainfield: Ed Gein’s Twisted Legacy – with John from Dairyland Frights
Episode Description:
This week on Total Conundrum, we’re digging up one of the darkest and most disturbing tales in true crime history: the story of Ed Gein — the real-life inspiration behind horror icons like Norman Bates, Leatherface, and Buffalo Bill. Joining us is John from Dairyland Frights, Wisconsin’s own master of the macabre, to walk us through the chilling case of the infamous “Butcher of Plainfield.”
Together, we unravel the twisted secrets buried in Gein’s farmhouse, explore the psychological torment that drove his grotesque acts, and take a fresh look at the crimes that shocked a nation. John brings his unique storytelling flair and bone-chilling detail to help us peel back the skin of the legend—quite literally.
Warning: This episode isn’t for the faint of heart. But if you love true crime, horror history, and a touch of the supernatural, you’re in for one gruesome ride.
