The Shocking True Story Behind Monster: The Ed Gein Story

VOICE OVER: Emily Brayton WRITTEN BY: Cassondra Feltus

Discover the disturbing reality behind Netflix's "Monster" series. We're examining the true crimes of Ed Gein, the Butcher of Plainfield, and how his horrific acts inspired iconic horror characters like Norman Bates, Leatherface, and Buffalo Bill. From his troubled childhood to his macabre house of horrors, we separate fact from fiction in Ryan Murphy's controversial adaptation. We explore Gein's dysfunctional family life, his unhealthy mother obsession, the murders he committed, and debunk popular misconceptions about his crimes. The series takes significant creative liberties with characters like Adeline Watkins and fabricated relationships that never existed. Did you watch all eight episodes?
