TEASER & FIRST LOOK
Introducing the Monster that inspired it all.
As Co-creator & Executive Producer, Ryan Murphy tells Tudum "the thesis statement of every season is: are monsters born or are they made? I think in Ed's case, it's probably a little of both."
"I think this is the best season of the three, and I think it's going to blow people's socks off," said Ian Brennan, who wrote every episode of the new season and is the Co-creator & Executive Producer.
Charlie Hunnam explains, "This is going to be the really human, tender, unflinching, no-holds-barred exploration of who Ed was and what he did. But who he was being at the center of it, rather than what he did."
Monster: The Ed Gein Story premieres October 3, only on Netflix.
ABOUT MONSTER
Serial killer. Grave robber. Psycho. In the frozen fields of 1950s rural Wisconsin, a friendly, mild-mannered recluse named Eddie Gein lived quietly on a decaying farm - hiding a house of horrors so gruesome it would redefine the American nightmare. Driven by isolation, psychosis, and an all-consuming obsession with his mother, Gein's perverse crimes birthed a new kind of monster that would haunt Hollywood for decades. From Psycho to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre to The Silence of the Lambs, Gein's macabre legacy gave birth to fictional monsters born in his image and ignited a cultural obsession with the criminally deviant. Ed Gein didn't just influence a genre -- he became the blueprint for modern horror.
Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan's groundbreaking anthology series returns with its third, most harrowing installment yet. Monster: The Ed Gein Story tells the story of how one simple man in Plainfield, Wisconsin became history's most singular ghoul. He revealed to the world the most horrific truth of all -- that monsters aren't born, they're made...by us.
