Buffalo Bill was very, very loosely based on the real-life serial killer Ed Gein. I say "very, very loosely" based because Buffalo Bill and Ed Gein have only ONE thing in common: they both sewed together suits out of their victims' skin. Other than that, the Buffalo Bill character bears no resemblance to Ed Gein whatsoever.
