Monster Season 3 is expected to explore the life and crimes of Ed Gein, a Wisconsin murderer and body snatcher whose gruesome acts in the 1950s inspired fictional killers like Norman Bates ( Psycho ), Buffalo Bill ( The Silence of the Lambs ), and Leatherface ( The Texas Chain Saw Massacre ). Known for murdering at least two people, desecrating graves, and crafting items from human remains, Gein's story is both horrific and complex.
While specific plot details are scarce, the series is likely to balance graphic depictions of Gein's atrocities with a nuanced look at his mental health and isolation, sparking discussions about the ethics of true crime dramatizations.
