Brace yourself, true crime junkies. The Monster Season 3 trailer just dropped, and it is every bit as haunting, chilling, and deeply unsettling as fans hoped (or feared). This time around, Netflix dives headfirst into the twisted world of Ed Gein, the infamous murderer whose crimes inspired horror classics like Psycho, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and The Silence of the Lambs. And guess what? Charlie Hunnam is playing the lead, and let’s just say Sons of Anarchy never prepared us for this level of skin-crawling weirdness.
Charlie Hunnam as Ed Gein? Yes, Really.
Forget biker gangs. Hunnam sheds his rugged heartthrob image to portray one of the most notorious serial killers in American history. From what we see in the Monster Season 3 trailer, he absolutely disappears into the role. We’re talking blood-stained aprons, dead-eyed stares, and deeply disturbing mother issues. The trailer gives us a taste of the psychological horror ahead without showing too much. Which, honestly, is just enough to make your skin itch.
Netflix Doubles Down on True Crime with a Grisly Twist
Following the success of Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story and the upcoming Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, Ryan Murphy and Netflix are clearly not done making us lose sleep. This season focuses on the lonely, twisted life of Ed Gein in 1950s Wisconsin and dares to ask that age-old question: how does someone go from “quiet neighbor” to “body snatcher with a skin suit fetish?”
Monster Season 3 Trailer Highlights That Made Us Gasp
A Pet Shop Boys remix playing as Hunnam dances in a dimly lit room wearing what appears to be human skin.
Laurie Metcalf (yes, Aunt Jackie from Roseanne) as Augusta Gein, the terrifying mother figure straight from your worst nightmares.
Creepy dialogue like “Something real dark about you, Eddie Gein” and... yeah, understatement of the year.
Prepare for the Creep Factor
If you thought Dahmer was disturbing, Monster Season 3 is ready to take things to a whole new level of “I need a shower after this.” With a powerhouse cast, chilling visuals, and a story that blurs the line between man and monster, this is one true crime adaptation that promises to stick with you. Like, uncomfortably.
The series premieres October 3 on Netflix, just in time to ruin your Halloween spirit.
