Ya' gotta' start somewhere! For Ed it was Plainfield Cemetery. Little Eddie's nighttime forays with amateur exhumations are legendary. Here Ed is caught in a reflective moment of concern as he struggles to hitch up his grave soiled pants, while balancing his rusty old shovel. Ed stands 16" tall on a detailed cemetery base featuring a crumbling headstone and coffee thermos. Eddie's well worn cap is removable-if you care to mop his sweaty brow. Grave robbing, after all, is hard work!Each is hand made with appropriate clothing and detailed accents. The head, hands and shoes are hand painted.  
Edward Theodore "Ed" Gein (August 27, 1906 – July 26, 1984) was an American killer and body snatcher. His crimes, committed around his hometown of Plainfield, Wisconsin, gathered widespread notoriety after authorities discovered Gein had exhumed corpses from local graveyards and fashioned trophies and keepsakes from their bones and skin. The story of Ed Gein has had a lasting effect on American popular culture as evidenced by its numerous appearances in film, music and literature. The tale first came to widespread public attention in the fictionalized version presented by Robert Bloch in his 1959 suspense novel Psycho. In addition to Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 film of Bloch's novel, Gein's story was loosely adapted into a number of movies, including Deranged (1974), In the Light of the Moon (2000) (released in the U.S. as Ed Gein (2001)), Ed Gein: The Butcher of Plainfield (2007), Hitchcock (2012), and the Rob Zombie movies House of 1000 Corpses and its sequel, The Devil's Rejects. Gein served as a model for several book and film characters, most notably such fictional serial killers as Norman Bates (Psycho), Leatherface (The Texas Chain Saw Massacre), Buffalo Bill (The Silence of the Lambs) and Bloody Face from American Horror Story.
