Who was Ed Gein?
Ed Gein, nicknamed the “Butcher of Plainfield”, is one of the most famous criminals of the 20th century, whose actions inspired several famous horror movie charactersin particular Norman Bates in PsychosisLeatherface inside Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Buffalo Bill inside The Silence of the LambsBorn in 1906 in Wisconsin, Gein grew up under the influence of his mother, a domineering and very pious woman, who isolated him from the outside world. After her death, Gein sank into madness and his crimes shocked all of America.
Although he was only officially convicted of two murders, the horror of his actions is unbelievable. When he was arrested in 1957, police discovered a macabre collection in his home objects made from human bodies found in cemeteries, including masks, furniture and clothing. Ed Gein has thus marked the criminal history of the United States as one of the most disturbing and disturbing killers of his time.

To play this terrifying character, Netflix has chosen British actor Charlie Hunnam. Known for his iconic role as Jax Teller in Sons of AnarchyHunnam has also starred in films such as Pacific Rim OR The Lost City of Z. His portrayal of Ed Gein would mark a turning point in his career, casting him in a dark and complex role. The series will explore not only Gein’s grisly crimes, but also the trauma and influence of his mother, which helped shape the killer’s deranged mind.
