Netflix is at it again, bringing true crime to the forefront with its new series, 'Monster: The Ed Gein Story'.

Charlie Hunnam Transforms into a Monster
Charlie Hunnam takes on the chilling role of Ed Gein, a seemingly mild-mannered farmer with a dark secret. Murphy revealed that he cast Hunnam after seeing a paparazzi photo where the actor looked 'haunted', suggesting a certain 'Ed-ness' about him. Hunnam himself joked that he must have been having a bad day.
The series promises to be disturbing, delving into the gruesome details of Gein's crimes. He murdered at least two women and was also a grave robber, fashioning household items from bones, skin, and other body parts. Imagine opening a drawer and finding handles made of human bone!
