Ahead of hitting the streamer on October 3, Netflix has unveiled a new trailer for Monster: The Ed Gein Story, with star Charlie Hunnam (Sons of Anarchy) demonstrating why the so-called Butcher of Plainfield influenced the face of horror from Psycho to The Silence of the Lambs.
The latest entry into Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan's true crime anthology series centers on notorious killer Ed Gein whose crimes includes exhuming corpses and allegedly fashioning furniture and clothing from the dismembered body parts of women.
Per an official plot synopsis from Netflix:
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.
Alongside Hunnam, The Ed Gein story stars Laurie Metcalf as Gein's mother Augusta, Tom Hollander as legendary Psycho director Alfred Hitchcock (peep the Psycho references in today's new trailer), Olivia Williams, Vicky Krieps and Addison Rae.
