Overview

• Monster: The Ed Gein Story has just premiered on Netflix.
• Director Max Winkler told Variety that Hunnam obtained audio materials the production’s top researchers could not access.
• Hunnam contacted documentary producer Joshua Kunau, who provided a 70-minute police interview recorded the night of Gein’s arrest that was described as not legally exploitable.
• Few recordings of Gein survive because his crimes and arrest occurred between the 1940s and 1960s.
• Winkler described the target vocal quality as a blend of Mark Rylance and Michael Jackson, underscoring Hunnam’s focus on accuracy.
