But even as our minds recoil at the mention of actual acts of cannibalism there is some dark fascination with the subject. Appalling crimes of humans eating other humans are blown into major news stories and gory movies: both Hitchcock''s \u003cem\u003ePsycho\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe Texas Chainsaw Massacre\u003c\/em\u003e were based on the crimes of Ed Gein, who is profiled, along with others, in this book.
