FINALLY!! A movie about a real-life crazy person...!
...and no, it ain't about Tom Cruise.

Wisteria: The Story of Albert Fish
This is a very old story of an old man who kidnapped children...and ate them. Albert Fish came about in the 1920's (read "The Crime Library's account of this man's atrocities). http://www.crimelibrary.com/serial_k...ish/index.html
I wonder if this movie will be any good, or will it be a "direct-to-video" selection like Dahmer and Gacy.

Albert Fish is referenced several times in the recent book BLACK HOUSE by Stephen King and Peter Straub; I'd never heard of him prior to that book.

Albert was a sick fucker. I believe he was the guy that caused problems to the electric chair he was being excuted in because of all the pins he had stuck in his body(mostly groin) over the years. He's actually one of the more popular serial killers of the last century.

Stories like these fascinate me from the stand-point that all these people are completely fucked-up and disconnected from reality, yet, they are able to blend and be precieved as "so normal and nice" by their friends and neighbors.
Moore did a bit, I think on TV Nation, of renting a house and pulling off really weird shit, like dragging bloody mattresses to the curb every few days, and making the house glow an eerie red at night while screams could be heard as a silloutte of a human with an axe passed by the window. He then staged and arrest of the occupant, he then asked the neighbors their impressions of the guy, and it was all the same BS..."so normal, never suspected!"

The most inexplicible thing about Albert Fish was...that he had children of his own! How can you love your own children, yet kill and cause pain, fear, and anguish to other children and their families?!!
That's what is really creepy about Albert Fish, if nothing else. The fact that he can hurt children, other than his own.

Surprisingly, I had never heard of this guy. His story is probably the creepiest thing you'll ever read: http://www.crimelibrary.com/serial_k...ish/index.html
