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.
The film was released theatrically in the United States by Studio One.
The film received a VHS release by Regal Video and, later, Video Treasures in the 1980s. It has still not been officially released on DVD.
