When Netflix, in collaboration with Ryan Murphy, delved into true crime for the first time with “Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story,” the series gained immense popularity and became one of Netflix’s most-watched shows ever, despite stirring controversy due to its portrayal of the notorious killer’s crimes. Building on this success, Netflix transformed the limited series into an anthology, with the second season about the Menendez brothers also garnering massive viewership. Now, the franchise is poised to delve into one of the most chilling figures in American criminal history. For its third season, the series will delve into the life of Ed Gein, a man whose grisly deeds have haunted popular culture for years. The role of the infamous killer will be portrayed by Charlie Hunnam from “Sons of Anarchy.
Netflix recently released the first official trailer for “Monster: The Ed Gein Story.” This sneak peek into the series provides a spine-chilling preview of its horrifying journey. The video primarily focuses on police officers as they venture into Gein’s secluded Wisconsin farmhouse, which is depicted as a house of horrors. As their torches pierce the darkness, they reveal grotesque sights such as chairs covered in human skin and masks made from victims’ faces.
The trailer gradually instills fear, leading up to a brief yet indelible moment featuring Hunnam in the lead role. His appearance is eerie and disconcerting, showing him meticulously stitching together body parts, apparently under the influence of an unheard ethereal voice.
In the 1950s, Ed Gein was a notorious criminal who committed murders and dug up graves. His horrific actions were exposed following the vanishing of a local businessman, prompting the police to discover his macabre hoard of human artifacts. The movie trailer further highlights that Ed Gein’s actual crimes served as the foundation for many terrifying horror films. This link is delved into thoroughly, emphasizing how Gein’s disturbed bond with his mother and his dealings with human remains laid the groundwork for the character Norman Bates in “Psycho.” Additionally, his practice of crafting masks from human skin and furniture from bones significantly contributed to the creation of Leatherface in “The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.” He was also a significant influence on the antagonist in “The Silence of the Lambs.
Netflix Is Already Working on Season 4 of Monster
Before viewers even see Hunnam’s portrayal of Ed Gein, Netflix is showing great faith in the success of the Monster series by already planning a fourth season. The next chapter of this true-crime anthology has been given the go-ahead, and it will delve into one of the most contentious criminal cases in American history: the 1892 trial of Lizzie Borden.
The first three seasons of “Monster” focus on male serial killers from the 20th century whose guilt was confirmed by a court of law. In contrast, Lizzie Borden’s story is unique. She was a woman from Massachusetts who stood accused of ax murders of her father and stepmother in 1892. The trial that followed was a spectacle filled with sensational details, intense public interest, and scrutiny. Despite this, she was found not guilty of all charges, and the murders remain officially unsolved to this day. By delving into this case, the series steps away from the straightforward stories of convicted murderers to investigate the complex and legendary figures who exist in a gray area of criminal history.
Monster: The Ed Gein Story is scheduled to premiere on Netflix on October 3rd.
