It’s time to see Ed’s story.
Netflix revealed three posters for their upcoming series Monster: The Ed Gein Story. The posters, which can be seen below, not only shows the release date of the series, but shows Gein’s impact on horror films such as The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Psycho, and The Silence of the Lambs.
The official synopsis of the series reads “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 Chain Saw 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.”
Monster: The Ed Gein Story includes Charlie Hunnam (Sons of Anarchy) as Ed Gein, Suzanna Son, Tom Hollander, Laurie Metcalf, Vicky Krieps, Olivia Williams, Joey Pollari, Tyler Jacob Moore, Charlie Hall, Will Brill, Mimi Kennedy, Robin Weigert, and Lesley Manville.
The series is set to arrive on Netflix on October 3rd. Keep it locked to Horror News Network for more on Monster: The Ed Gein Story.
