It was actual footage the camera man got killed but the cop u see made it out alive to tell the story

 

yeah, gein was caught. he died in prison also... my grandpa and grandma
have some documentary thing on him i watched a few times...

some of the things in the movie were far fetched, but a lot was extremely
under stated.

he also made 'people stew'

why do all the freaks come from wisconsin???
dohmer, gein...I know I'm forgetting a lot...

 

it was not real!
