    Charlie Hunnam has fully transformed into a monster in the full trailer for Monster: The Ed Gein Story.

    Hunnam plays the haunting serial killer in the third season of Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan‘s Netflix horror anthology series, and the official and full trailer (below) lives up to the streamer hyping this season as the most harrowing yet in the Monster franchise. All episodes release Oct. 3.

    Gein’s horrific legacy inspired Psycho, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and The Silence of the Lambs, becoming the “blueprint for modern horror.” The first footage had explored Gein’s house-of-horrors home being investigated by police who were so disturbed, they could barely go through what they found, and ended with a haunting conversation between Gein and his mother, who is played by Laurie Metcalf.

    The official trailer now exposes Gein’s nightmarish proclivities, as he is seen committing several murders and literally trying on (and dancing around in) the skins of his victims. Hunnam also reveals the mannerisms and voice he took on to play Gein, which he previously spoke about when discussing his research for the part.

    Monster: The Ed Gein Story follows the first two Monster seasons, The Jeffrey Dahmer Story and the Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, respectively. Each cycle of the franchise tackles a different true-crime story, following the massive success of the series’ 2022 debut.

    Gein is the serial murderer and body snatcher often referred to as “the Butcher of Plainfield” who gained notoriety in the 1950s for his crimes. The logline explains that “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.”

    The cast for Monster: The Ed Gein Story also includes Tom Hollander (as Alfred Hitchcock) and Suzanna Son, with Vicky Krieps, Olivia Williams, Lesley Manville, Joey Pollari, Charlie Hall, Tyler Jacob Moore, Mimi Kennedy, Will Brill and Robin Weigert.

    Executive producers include co-creators Murphy and Brennan, along with Max Winkler, Eric Kovtun, Scott Robertson, Nissa Diederich, Louise Shore, Carl Franklin and Hunnam. Brennan and Max Winkler are directors on the series.
