Popular culture: Ed Gein in visual art edit
In 1987 Belgian artist Danny Devos had an exhibition titled "In Memory of Ed Gein". https://www.performan.org/exhibitions/solo-exhibitions/in-memory-of-ed-gein/ The exhibition included several remakes of Ed Gein artefacts such as 'Ed Gein Gloves', facemasks, a lampshade, a nipplebelt, etc. The 'Ed Gein Gloves' were part of a show 'Crime in Art' at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Kraków and are featured on the cover of the catalogue. https://en.mocak.pl/crime-in-art-catologue 109.132.19.138 (talk) 12:18, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

I am nevertheless adding this here in talk so others can be aware it was at least considered. Hardgumbo (talk) 20:26, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
Source 16 is sketchy edit
The Smith dog story fits Augusta’s general vibe but is that “men’s news daily” blog post (let’s be honest, it’s a blog post, not an article) really the best source we have for it? The page is full of bizarre mojibake (every quotation mark has become “““ and every apostrophe “’”, presumably by being recursively mangled by a Unicode parsing screwup multiple times) and the author neither cites any real sources for the Smith story or suggests that they did original research for it which makes it sus
