Joe Ball, the inspiration for Eaten Alive
Here's a link to the True Story of Eaten Alive, at least what is known.

I hope peopel realize that this and the other BASED ON FACT movies like Texas masacure are so out there when looking at the FACTS they were based on they are more fiction then fact other then he killed people, period
Actually Texas Chainsaw is clear in saying that it was "inspired by fact". Indeed, the movie In the Light of the Moon is a much more factual representation of the true Gein story.
That said, Eaten Alive is in some ways, very close to Joe Ball's story. Ball did not just kill people, he fed them to his gators. If that isn't the stuff of low-budget horror, I don't know what is.
Man, read the story!
<<As it turns out, none of the rotting flesh in the alligator pond was found to be human. In a 1957 interview with the San Antonio Light, Dolores "Buddy" Goodwin stated that Joe, "never put no people in that alligator tank," she said.>>
I doubt he could take all human flesh out of the pool leaving only the remainder of aminals. But that is possible theoretically.
So there are only suspicions just like with other victims of Ed Gein (only 2 murders were proved).
