Deranged
It took me almost ten years to finally find this movie, and it was sooooo worth it! This is the closest account of what really happened concerning Ed Gein. The reason I had searched so long for this movie was that I had heard that this was the first movie Tom Savini ever did effects on. I later learned that it was directed by Alan Ormsby, which kinda made me a little let down, but I now regret that feeling. My Mother is a huge fan of Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things, and has forced me to watch it on more thatn one occasion!! I have to admit that Children did grow on me over time, but I was a bit wary when I finally did get my hands on Deranged. This is such a classic, and Roberts Blossom gives the most excellent performance of Ezra Cobb, and there are some truly creepy scenes, and the effects are amazing!
