Unveiled is the spooky teaser for Ryan Murphy's upcoming "Monster" series, focusing on infamous murderer Ed Gein. Here's a rundown of everything you should know about this chilling serial killer.
Get ready for a chilling new addition to your Netflix queue! The highly anticipated series "Monster: The Ed Gein Story" is set to premiere on October 3.
The eight-episode series, created by Ryan Murphy, delves into the life of Ed Gein, a real-life killer whose dark deeds served as inspiration for several horror movie monsters. Charlie Hunnam plays the role of Ed, while Laurie Metcalf stars as Augusta, his mother.
Born in Wisconsin in 1906, Ed and Augusta lived an isolated life on a 155-acre farm, shielded from outsiders. Augusta, a deeply religious woman, regularly read Bible verses about death, murder, and divine retribution to her sons.
Ed attended school sporadically, as the only time he left the farm. After his mother's paralyzing stroke in 1945, he became her primary caregiver, and she passed away at the age of 67 in December of the same year. Augusta's death left Ed devastated and isolated.
Ed's strange mannerisms and shyness were well-known. He gained widespread attention in 1957 when authorities discovered he had exhumed corpses from local graveyards between 1947 and 1952, using their bones and skin to create keepsakes like lampshades and ornaments.
Ed confessed to murdering two women: Mary Hogan in 1954 and Bernice Worden in 1957. The additional alleged victims of Ed Gein, not officially confirmed, include Bernice Worden and possibly other women from the Plainfield area, but no concrete evidence or official confirmation exists beyond his two known victims.
Ed was diagnosed with schizophrenia and committed to Central State Hospital for the Criminally Insane. His mother's harsh punishments for any attempts at friendship likely contributed to his isolation and eventual fate.
"Monster: The Ed Gein Story" is the latest instalment in Ryan Murphy's "Monster" series, following previous subjects Jeffrey Dahmer and the Menendez brothers. The series promises to be a gripping exploration of one of America's most infamous monsters, providing a chilling insight into the mind of a monster.
Don't miss the premiere of "Monster: The Ed Gein Story" on October 3, only on Netflix.
