Austin, for you to believe that they used actual footage from the "incident" and put it in the REMAKE of TCM, proves to me that with the correct marketing...you can make anyone believe anything.

Story was based off of Ed Gein (FACT). Ed Gein has also "inspired" films like PSYCHO, SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, & I'm sure more, just can't remember them.

TCM2003 was clever in putting in "real" footage from the crime scene, however it was very fake from a film perspective. Most Cops, especially in a town like that, probably wouldn't film a crime scene and if they would it would have fake scratches and whatnot.

Just my 2 cents. Dispute all you want.
