Grab a blanket and maybe a pillow to cover your eyes—it’s almost time for the newest season of Monster featuring Ed Gein.
While the true crimes of the infamous killer and grave robber are unsettling enough, the fictional horror stories they helped inspire are just as chilling. For this edition of I Never Knew That, editor Tyler looks at Gein’s lasting influence in books and movies—from an Alfred Hitchcock classic to the 1992 Academy Award winner for Best Picture.
