Monster: The Ed Gein Story tells the story of how one simple man in Plainfield, Wisconsin, became "history's most singular ghoul," says the streamer, revealing to the world "the most horrific truth of all - that monsters aren't born, they're made ... by us." Here's the official logline: "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.follows previous seasons of The Jeffrey Dahmer Story and The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, respectively. Each cycle of the Monster franchise tackles a different true-crime story, following the massive success of the series' 2022 debut. The cast also includes Tom Hollander, Laurie Metcalf and Suzanna Son, with Vicky Krieps, Olivia Williams, Lesley Manville, Joey Pollari, Charlie Hall, Tyler Jacob Moore, Mimi Kennedy, Will Brill and Robin Weigert.
