Re: Inbred Killer Hillbilly Family

Ed Gein is indeed the inspiration for the trope. It has just been expanded over the years to include whole communities of murderous rednecks.

If you want to look back even further you could also probably point to Deliverance as a trendsetter for that kind of stereotype.

But where did the family aspect come from? Ed Gein was only one guy and there was no inbreeding of his family (though he was quite fearful of his mother).

Is it just an instance of "The more CRAZY INBRED CANNIBALS THE BETTERRR"?

Re: Inbred Killer Hillbilly Family

Yep. It's the combined effect of screenwriters upping the ante and the general classism that goes into those destructive stereotypes of people who live in the deep south.

They're an easy target, basically.
