Serial killer. Grave robber. Psycho. In the frozen fields of 1950s rural Wisconsin, a friendly, mild-mannered recluse named Eddie Gein lived quietly on a decaying farm — hiding a house of horrors so gruesome it would redefine the American nightmare. Driven by isolation, psychosis, and an all-consuming obsession with his mother, Gein’s perverse crimes birthed a new kind of monster that would haunt Hollywood for decades. From Psycho to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre to The Silence of the Lambs, Gein’s macabre legacy gave birth to fictional monsters born in his image and ignited a cultural obsession with the criminally deviant. Ed Gein didn’t just influence a genre — he became the blueprint for modern horror.

Words cannot explain how I've waited for a proper portrayal of Ed Gein. Charlie Hunnan knocks it out of the park. This season is so well told shows the inner demons of Ed Gein and also that of Anthony Perkins had to deal with while shooting Albert Hitchock's Psycho in 1960 portraying Ed Gein. Also the effects Albert's movie and Gein had on the film world for years to come.
