AKA Deranged: The Confessions of a Necrophile



1974, Directed by Jeff Gillen & Alan Ormsby

Apparently it’s ‘too late to scream’, but that doesn’t stop the women in this trailer. Don’t they listen to the voice-over?

There’s some deeply unpleasant stuff with corpses going on in this one. But more unpleasant still is that it’s based loosely on the real-life story of notorious American murderer Ed Gein - in fact several sources describe it as the most accurate cinematic portrayal of Gein’s crimes. Which doesn’t bear thinking about, frankly.

Trailer Club Inbreeding: The co-director Alan Ormsby was the chap with the pipe and crazy facial hair at the start of the trailer for Children Shouldn’t Play with Dead Things. He also appears in this trailer - he’s the face in the photograph during the shooting-through-the-pillow scene.

Favourite bit: The weird yell as the woman throws the old lady’s corpse at the maniac.
