[This story contains some spoilers from Monster: The Ed Gein Story .]
It’s fall, so that means another season of Monster from Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan ‘s anthology series is upon us, and this time, the horror series follows the life of the infamous serial killer of the 1950s, Ed Gein, who inspired classic horror films Psycho, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Silence of the Lambs.
For the show to land, everything falls on the performance of its title character, played by Charlie Hunnam . To step into the world of Ed, and try to understand him, the Sons of Anarchy star spent months researching the murderer to do his role justice and not “glamorize” the horrific things Ed is known for, such as murdering women, wearing their faces and digging up graves.
