"The third season of Ryan Murphy's "Monster" anthology series focuses on a serial killer whose startling crimes live up to the title. In " Monster: The Ed Gein Story," streaming on Netflix Friday, Charlie Hunnam plays Gein, the notorious serial killer and grave robber whose 1957 arrest led to the discovery of scenes at his home that were so gruesome, they became inspiration for a slew of famous horror movies in the ensuing decades."
"Ed Gein's house was filled with human remains and furniture made of body parts when he was arrested in 1957. On November 16, 1957, Bernice Worden, a hardware store owner in Plainfield, Wisconsin, disappeared. In the store, police found an open cash register, blood stains on the floor, and a receipt Worden wrote for a sale of antifreeze to Ed Gein the night before."
"Gein - who lived in a farmhouse on the outskirts of town, worked odd jobs, and grew up mostly isolated and under the overprotective watch of his mother until her death - was arrested that evening, and police found Worden's body hanging upside down in Gein's shed with her head decapitated. But that was far from the only gruesome scene police would discover on Gein's property."
Charlie Hunnam portrays Ed Gein in Monster: The Ed Gein Story, focusing on the serial killer's 1957 arrest and the gruesome discoveries at his farmhouse. Authorities found the body of Bernice Worden in Gein's shed and uncovered human remains and items fashioned from body parts throughout the house. Gein lived isolated under his mother's overprotective influence, worked odd jobs, and lived on a Plainfield, Wisconsin, farm. The season returns the anthology to serial-killer subject matter after a second season centered on the Menendez brothers. Gein's crimes inspired iconic horror films including Psycho and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.
