Three on a Meathook is a 1972 horror film written and directed by William Girdler and was based loosely on the real-life story of Ed Gein. The film stars Charles Kissinger, James Pickett and Sherry Steiner.

When four girls go on a weekend trip to a lake, they start to have car problems on the way home and meet a local young man who takes them back to his farm where he lives with his father. Later, the father begins to murder three of the girls and tries to pin the crimes on his son by convincing him he is responsible for their deaths.

This film has been compared to other horror films such as Psycho, Deranged and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.^{[citation needed]}
