TikTok Star Addison Rae Portrays Missing La Crosse Teen in New Netflix Ed Gein Series
The Netflix miniseries explores Ed Gein's crimes, psychological motives, and lasting impact on American culture through iconic horror characters, with eight episodes released on October 3.
- On Oct. 3, Netflix released the eight-part Monster: The Ed Gein Story, centering on Ed Gein's crimes and drawing strong early viewer interest.
- Augusta Gein was described as domineering and deeply religious, and after George Gein's 1940 death and Henry Gein's later death, her strokes left Ed Gein as her caretaker until her 1945 death.
- Investigators found Worden's decapitated body hanging in Gein's barn and Gein admitted to murdering Hogan and exhuming at least one grave to make a full-body skin suit.

- Gein's crimes inspired Norman Bates, Leatherface and Buffalo Bill, while Adeline Watkins' contested romance claims were soon retracted and Netflix's Monster: The Ed Gein Story dramatizes these disputes.
