Overview

• Monster: The Ed Gein Story premiered on October 3, 2025 on Netflix as an eight‑episode season from Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan starring Charlie Hunnam, Laurie Metcalf and Suzanna Son.
• Fresh coverage revisits verified facts of the case, including the 1957 discovery of Bernice Worden’s body and human remains fashioned into household items at Gein’s farm.
• Reports reiterate that Gein confessed to killing Worden and Mary Hogan, was legally tied to two murders, and was found insane and confined in psychiatric hospitals until his 1984 death.
• A renewed look at Adeline Watkins notes her 1957 claim to a newspaper of a long romance with Gein followed days later by a denial to a local paper, with no police evidence ever connecting her to the crimes.
• Interest extends to Gein’s legacy and resting place, with articles noting his unmarked grave at Plainfield Cemetery after his headstone disappeared in 2000 and recalling his influence on Psycho, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and The Silence of the Lambs.
