| San Andreas |
Here's a list of the references
found in GTA San Andreas:
1. There's an abondoned wheel chair at the end of the wharf
in Fisher's Lagoon. There's also a junk container in Bayside
Marina carrying the same text, "Skip hire" (the word skip means container). The wheel
chair was believed by many to be a reference to The Texas Chainsaw
Massacre, as one of the youths in this movie is in a wheel chair,
but actually it is the same wheel chair that can be seen in
the start of the Rockstar game Manhunt.
2. There are at least nine chainsaws
to found placed around in San Andreas. One of them is found
between a shack and some piles of logs in the Panopticon area.
The shack has what looks like blood stains all over the floor,
but most cabins and shacks in the area has the same kind of
stains.
3. There has been some talk about some
meathooks in San Andreas. Both Ed Gein and Leatherface used
meathooks to hang up their victims bodies, but I actually haven't found these in San Andreas.
4. In the box of the official version
of the game, it's a fold-out map. On this map, you'll find marked
out "The farm, Cult location". That most probably
refers to the Epsilon cult, but actually, the main building
(left) is pretty much alike both the house of Ed Gein (middle)
and the house used in TTCM (right), or more like a mix of those
two houses.
5. There's two cars in San Andreas, a
Glendale and a Walton, that has both a normal version skin,
and a beaten-up version skin. These are the only two cars that
has this kind of extra skin, and you can't repair them into
the unbroken skin, as with other cars. Why just these two cars?
There's no meaning to them being beaten up, what consernes the
missions or other parts of the game, except that they're used
as parked cars in more deserted locations, like the woods.
Ed Gein had a car that looked something
like the Walton truck, and in TTCM, the youths escapes in a
Glendale-type of car, while Leatherface is attacking the car
with his chainsaw. The scratches on these cars looks very much
look like they've been made with a chainsaw. It suitswith the theory that Rockstar made a second skin for just these
two cars, as references to Ed Gein and TTCM.
6. In the desert close to El Castillo Del Diablo, you can find a mass
grave with six body bags, and a Bobcat truck parked next to
them. This has also been believed to be a reference to TTCM
or Ed Gein, but this is actually a reference to the Scorsese
film Casino. In the introduction movie in the PS2 special edition
of San Andreas, you can see two mobsters digging this hole.
There's also three graves located just
next to Catalina's cabin, but they must be her three ex-boyfriends
she refers to in the game (she says she killed them).
7. The Panopticon area is believed to be named
after the american Panopticon prison. This prison was made to
keep America's most vicious killers, and could therefore be
ment as a reference to Ed Gein. Yet, Ed Gein did not serve in the Panopticon prison, but in a state mental institute.
8. The cinema in Angel Pine announces
the movie "Chuffed to pieces". This has been misunderstood as meaning "cut to pieces", and therefore a reference to that both Ed Gein and the
TTCM family cut their victims to pieces..
9. I found a posting from a person who
collected several findings around this particular myth, and
he mentions finding a movie poster in the Badlands, saying "egein
hex", and he explaines that this means "Ed Gein in
the hex". His information otherwise seemed well-founded,
so I guess we'll have to thrust him on this one, until I find
that poster myself, and bring a picture of it.
I'm not formiliar with wath "in the hex" means either,
but I think it's something about using numbers or letters in
a different way. If I get an explanation for this, I'll be sure
to put out here.
10. In Zero's shop in San Fierro, you'll
find boxes with the game Manhunt, with Piggsy on the
cover. Manhunt features a character similar to Leatherface,
called Piggsy, which also used a chainsaw.
11. Amongst all the other body parts,
Ed Gein kept nine vulvas in his house, where the one of his
mother was painted it in silver. The silver vibrator found in
Bayside could be a reference to this. It would not be appropriate
- not even in GTA - to use an actual vulva in the game, it would
be too bizarre. The silver vibrator could therefore very well
substitute for the vulva as a reference - but I guess Rockstar
should have a real hardcore Ed Gein-fan amongst their staff
to come up with something like this. Also
notice that the container located next to the vibrator has the
same text as you can find on the wheel chair in Fishers Lagoon,
"Skip hire".
Never the less - it's great fun to beat up pedestrians with
it!
12. The open and empty grave chamber
in Palamino Creek could most certainly be a reference to Ed
Gein, as he was a grave-robber. The chamber also turns green
at night, but I'm not sure if this is supposed to mean anything.
I also found a couple of other places that get a green shine
to them at night, one of them is Catalina's house, one is a
empty storage house.
