About this listen

Spooky Season continues as Scotty and Amelia do a deep dive into the new Netflix series "Monster: The Ed Gein Story." They discuss the infamous legacy of "The Ghoul of Plainfield," and then talk about their mixed feelings about the series itself--from its uneasy handling of the true crime elements of the story, to its somewhat more successful attempts at grappling with Gein's impact on the horror genre through three iconic cinematic villains: Norman Bates (from "Psycho"), Leatherface (from "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre"), and Buffalo Bill (from "The Silence of the Lambs").

WARNING: This episode contains spoilers for "Monster: The Ed Gein Story."

CONTENT WARNING: This episode describes Gein's crimes in...grisly...detail. Listener discretion advised.
