Deranged is a Canadian-American
horror film made in 1974 and directed by
Alan Ormsby and
Jeff Gillen. It is also known by the title
Deranged: The Confessions of a Necrophile in the USA. It is a low-budget movie that has since become something of a
cult film and is based on the life of
Ed Gein. The title is, however, misleading since Ed Gein never experimented with
necrophilia; although a necrophile is also defined as "an obsessive fascination with death and corpses."
