9. Deranged: The Confessions Of A Necrophile (1974)
Although it was a low budget film, the American feature became a cult film based on the life of Edward Theodore Gein, who committed crimes around Plainfield, Wisconsin. He exhumed corpses from local graveyards to create trophies from the bones and skin. He was initially considered unfit for trial, being confined in a mental health facility.

It looks like the critically acclaimed movie Psycho, directed by Alfred Hitchcock, was also inspired from the life of Ed Gein but that story focuses more on the relationship he had with his deceased mother. In Deranged, he goes further and digs up other bodies and uses them to decorate his house, after which he moves on to live victims.
