In the premiere of “Monster”, viewers were left stunned by the chilling tale of Jeffrey Dahmer, portrayed by Evan Peters. Subsequently, Season 2 delved into the saga of the Menendez brothers, who were found guilty of murdering their affluent parents. Now, anticipation among fans continues to build for Season 3, which promises to revolve around Ed Gein, more infamously known as “The Butcher of Plainfield”. This Wisconsin-based killer’s grisly deeds served as the basis for films such as “Psycho” and “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre”. It has been confirmed that Charlie Hunnam will portray Gein, although Netflix has not yet revealed the specific release date.

In the 1930s, the public was frequently captivated by news stories about ruthless yet somewhat endearing criminals. This concept was relatively novel at the time. During this era, real-life gangsters were dominating headlines, and the film industry recognized an opportunity to translate these intriguing characters onto the silver screen. Notable actors like James Cagney, Edward G. Robinson, and Humphrey Bogart rose to fame by portraying tough-as-nails criminal figures during this time period.
