"The story follows real-life serial killer Ed Gein, who confessed to killing two women, robbing graves, and fashioning their bodies into furniture in the 1950s. He's reportedly the inspiration for fictional serial killers in films such as Psycho, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and The Silence of Lambs, which Ryan Murphy's series not-so-subtly suggests in the season 4 finale. Believe it or not, Murphy also spends the final minutes of the series connecting his depiction of Gein to David Fincher's Mindhunter."
"2017 true crime series starring Jonathan Groff and Holt McCallany was incredibly well received even though Fincher left to pursue other projects after just two seasons. So, is it possible that Murphy and Netflix are testing the waters for the return of more Mindhunter? Before I set the scene, I need you to know that the following meet-up did not occur in real life. Still, after Gein is finally captured in the finale, he's visited by two FBI agents who are searching for the whereabouts"
Monster: The Ed Gein Story depicts Ed Gein as a 1950s killer who confessed to two murders, grave robbing, and fashioning corpses into furniture. The season suggests Gein inspired fictional killers in Psycho, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and The Silence of the Lambs. The finale includes an easter egg connecting Gein's depiction to Mindhunter by showing FBI agents John Douglas and Robert Ressler visiting Gein while searching for Ted Bundy. The agents are portrayed by Caleb Ruminer and Sean Carrigan. The series notes that Douglas and Ressler did not actually visit Gein but credits Gein's influence on later serial-killer study.
