Charlie Hunnam<\/a>\u00a0has fully transformed into a monster in the full trailer for\u00a0Monster: The Ed Gein Story<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hunnam\u00a0plays the haunting serial killer<\/a>\u00a0in the third season of\u00a0Ryan Murphy<\/a>\u00a0and Ian Brennan\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

Gein\u2019s horrific legacy inspired\u00a0Psycho,\u00a0The Texas Chain Saw Massacre\u00a0and\u00a0The Silence of the Lambs, becoming the \u201cblueprint for modern horror.\u201d The first footage<\/a> had explored Gein\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

The official trailer now exposes Gein\u2019s 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<\/a> about when discussing his research for the part.<\/p>\n

Monster: The Ed Gein Story<\/a> follows the first two Monster seasons, The Jeffrey Dahmer<\/a>\u00a0Story\u00a0and the Lyle and\u00a0Erik Menendez<\/a>\u00a0Story,\u00a0respectively. Each cycle of the\u00a0franchise tackles a different true-crime story, following the massive success of the series\u2019 2022 debut.<\/p>\n

Gein is the serial murderer and body snatcher often referred to as \u201cthe Butcher of Plainfield\u201d who gained notoriety in the 1950s for his crimes. The logline explains that \u201cdriven by isolation, psychosis and an all-consuming obsession with his mother, Gein\u2019s perverse crimes birthed a new kind of monster that would haunt Hollywood for decades.\u201d<\/p>\n

The cast for\u00a0Monster: The Ed Gein Story\u00a0also 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
