Monster: The Ed Gein Story is the latest entry in Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan's ongoing "Monster" anthology series. This new installment picks up in the frozen fields of 1950s rural Wisconsin, where 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 Chainsaw 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.

The cast includes Charlie Hunnam (Ed Gein), Tom Hollander (Alfred Hitchcock), Laurie Metcalf (Augusta Gein), Suzanna Son (Adeline Watkins), Vicky Krieps (Ilse Koch), Joey Pollari (Anthony Perkins), Charlie Hall (Deputy Worden), Tyler Jacob Moore (Sheriff Schley), Robin Weigert (Enid Watkins), Jackie Kay (Tab Hunter), Hudson Oz (Henry Gein) and Brock Powell (Gunnar Hansen as Leatherface).
