Update: 2025-10-07
Description
Netflix's new Ed Gein series, Monster, depicts a twisted relationship between the killer and Adeline Watkins, his alleged accomplice. But how much of this romance is true crime, and how much is just crime fiction? We dissect the real story behind Adeline Watkins, the woman who claimed to be Ed Gein's girlfriend, and reveal how the Netflix series takes major creative liberties, turning a possible platonic friend into a partner in crime. Was Adeline Watkins really Ed Gein's lover and accomplice, or is this just another Hollywood monster?
