    Some colorful excerpts from his Wiki page:

    Mudgett was his parents' third-born child; he had an older sister Ellen, an older brother Arthur and a younger brother Henry. Holmes's father was a farmer from a farming family, and his parents were devout Methodists.[6] According to the 2007 Most Evil profile on Holmes, his father was a violent alcoholic. Holmes excelled in school, which led to bullying by jealous classmates. In an attempt to scare him, the bullies forced him into the local doctor's office and made him stand face to face with a human skeleton, and placed the skeleton's hands on his face. Holmes later recalled that at first he was frightened, but then found the experience fascinating. He also wrote that the experience cured him of his fears. Holmes soon became obsessed with death and later started a hobby of dissecting animals.

    Some were locked in soundproof bedrooms fitted with gas lines that let him asphyxiate them at any time. Holmes would also lock his victims in a room where the walls were covered with iron plates and had blowtorches installed to incinerate them. Some victims were taken to one of the rooms on the second floor, called the "secret hanging chamber", where Holmes hanged them. Other victims were locked in a huge soundproof bank vault near his office, where they were left to suffocate. There was also a secret room that was completely sealed by solid brick that could only be entered through a trapdoor in the ceiling; Holmes would lock his victims in this room for days to die of hunger and thirst.

    He bought the rights to the story years ago. I'm guessing he cares a lot about it. Easier to win as a villain as well.

    As I said somewhere else...This sounds really interesting and I hope it happens next, but I take all Scorsese news with a grain of salt given how many projects over the years he's been linked to that never came to fruition (Sinatra, The Irishman, The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt, Frankie Machine, The Snowman, etc.).

    The Ramones biopic as well. I think this has a pretty good shot given that Leo has held the rights to the story for years.

    I've seen a couple documentaries on this guy on youtube and netflix, dude was rough AF. I hope Leo plays a better serial killer than Elijah Wood did in Maniac though.
