He was a bad one, but he's got nothing on Albert Fish, aka "the Brooklyn Vampire" or the "Boogeyman." He preyed on children, most famously Grace Budd, whom he cooked in a stew and ate. Afterward, he sent a letter to her mother describing what he had done to Grace. He claimed (probably untruthfully) that he had "had a child in every state." Not only that, but he had almost every sexual perversion known to man. Fish enjoyed being whipped, drinking urine, eating poo, sticking needles into his urethra, cannibalism, and voyeurism. When he was sentenced to death, he said he looked forward to such a "supreme thrill."
As for Gein, I'm pretty sure he killed exactly three: his brother, Mary Hogan, and Bernice Worden. Correct me if I'm wrong, though.
