Monsters Season 3: Here’s your first look at Charlie Hunnam as serial killer Ed Gein
Charlie Hunnam has undergone a shocking transformation for his chilling new role. Back in September, Ryan Murphy announced that the Queer As Folk star would be leading the third season of his hit Monsters series, portraying serial killer and bodysnatcher Ed Gein.
Often referred to as the “Butcher of Plainfield” or the “Plainfield Ghoul”, Gein robbed graves and collected body parts, which he used to concoct household items and clothing.
Although Gein admitted to the two murders of Mary Hogan in 1954 and Bernice Worden in 1957, he was suspected of killing more.
Gein, who died in a mental health facility in 1984, has since served as inspiration for iconic fictional villains such as Norman Bates in Psycho, Buffalo Bill in Silence of the Lambs and Leatherface in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise.
