==Trivia== *Gein has served as the inspiration for many notable literary and cinematic villains, most notably Norman Bates. Robert Bloch, the author of the famed novel and later Alfred Hitchcock classic, Psycho, based Norma Bates of Gein's mother Augusta, both share many attributes, Gein's mother had a deep hatred for women and taught her son all women are whores, as did Norma Bates. Stephan King based Margret White the psycho mother in his book "Carrie" on Augusta Gein. Norman Bates' unwanted willingness to kill women were also based of Gein's murder and human trophy collecting. Leatherface of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre was also based loosely based of Gein's human trophy collecting. Leatherface, the franchise's antagonist, wears a mask made of human flesh. Thomas Harris, the creator of the legendary movie character, Hannibal Lecter based Buffalo Bill, the main antagonist of his 1988 novel, The Silence of the Lambs of Gein. *Art Schley, the sheriff of Waushara County who interrogated Gein reportedly assaulted him during his interrogation. Schley died just before Gein's second trial in 1968, many in his family have claimed his death from heart failure was attributable as he was traumatized by Gein's gruesome crimes.
