Netflix's MONSTER: The Ed Gein Story (Oct 3)

I searched several ways and I couldn't find a thread for this. I thought Monster season 1 and 2 were great shows, although Dahmer was hard to watch.

Anyone looking forward to this?

“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.”

That last shot with the "mask" is a better prosthetic than any Leatherface mask we've seen since Hooper's original film.

Whoever carries on the TCM franchise needs to take note.

This does look very interesting indeed.

They need to keep this gravy train rolling with show about Gacy, Bundy and perhaps one about Edmund Kemper.
