But Gein was the 'inspiration' for many horror films we all know and love, from Psycho, Silence of The Lambs, Deranged to as you say the loosely based TCM.
I always thought that it wasn't particularly the one murder that captured writers imaginations more the fact of the macabre way he lived his life. The depressing state of his kitchen, the obsession with dead bodies and female genetalia, the love of his over powering, over bearing mother. The 'dressing up' and trying to be 'like his mother' and none more so than the various human body parts around his hovel of a home made him an icon in horror history.
In-fact I would say I don't know of any other killer that has been as 'influential' in horror.
