Deranged

 

DERANGED-1974-Ezra Cobb (Roberts Blossom) listens to his mother's hateful speech on her deathbed. They've lived alone on a farm for the last 15 years. When she dies he builds a shrine to her and waits for her return. One night he hears her voice (it's him talking) tell him to bring her home. He digs her up ("mama, you're in terrible shape") and mummifies her, using other dug up bodies to "patch her up". He meets a woman who talks to her dead husband and during a seance' tells Ezra to have sex with her. But of course he kills her instead. He gets a waitress Mary (Micki Moore) to come to his house where she discovers Ed's collection of corpses and Ed dressed in dead skin. He gets caught after killing a local girl and hanging her up in his barn. Not sure about the reporter/narrator (Leslie Carlson) being comedy relief or not. 

However Roberts Blossom gives a great performance as Cobb (of course based on the real life ghoul Ed Gein). Alan Ormsby (CHILDREN SHOULDN'T PLAY WITH DEAD THINGS) wrote the screenplay and co-directed with Jeff Gillen.
