I am completely the opposite. I can watch fictional serial killers all the live long day. But shows and movies about the real ones? I usually stay away out of fear of having nightmares.

Hannibal I can handle. Ed Gein, the inspiration for him? No. Noooo. Nooooooooo.

I don't like to be reminded that there are actual monsters out there and they wear the faces of people. (Literally and figuratively.)

I know nothing about Hannibal, so I'm curious about the connection to Gein, since Gein, as far as I know, did not eat people. He was into, erm, "arts and crafts," which he did mostly with exhumed corpses rather than murder victims.

[(Anonymous)]

I think Ed Gein inspired the Jame Gumb (Buffalo Bill) character more than Hannibal Lecter.

[mekkio]

Yes! I'm sorry. That was my mistake. Buffalo Bill, not Hannibal was inspired by Ed Gein.

[(Anonymous)]

Ah, got it.

The connection to Hannibal might explain why someone kept insisting to me recently that Gein was a cannibal. I just assumed he was mixing the guy up with Dahmer even though he said he wasn't.

[(Anonymous)]

There were rumors about Gein's cannibalism, but I don't think there was any hard evidence he did that. It's probably a case where what he did was just so horrible, cannibalism seemed like a drop in the bucket of UGH MY GOD NO.

I suspect it's more due to his also inspiring Leatherface from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. (The whole 'wearing human skin' thing.)

(He ALSO also inspired Norman Bates - the mother issues and dressing as a woman part...though thankfully Bloch decided Bates would stick to cross-dressing for that...)

[(Anonymous)]

Interestingly, despite being claimed as the "inspiration" for everyone from Norman Bates to Leatherface, Gein was not technically a serial killer. They only ever pinned two murders on him, which doesn't qualify.

[elaminator]

Same. I love Hannibal, but watching documentaries about actual serial killers...nope.
