Update: 2025-10-07
Description
Netflix's *Monster* tackles Ed Gein, the Butcher of Plainfield, but how much is fact and how much is fiction? We dissect the new season, separating the real crimes that inspired *Psycho* and *The Texas Chain Saw Massacre* from the show's sensationalized drama. Was Gein's girlfriend an accomplice? Did he kill his brother? Did the FBI really consult him on the Ted Bundy case? We uncover the truth behind the headlines and reveal what Netflix got wrong.
