Monsters 3: Ed Gein – the trailer is now available

You might have thought it couldn't get worse, but think again. Monsters 3 is on its way, and this time we dive deeper than ever into the gruesome mind of a real monster: Ed Gein. After the stories of Jeffrey Dahmer in Monsters 1 and the Menendez brothers in Monsters 2, we couldn't help but continue with the nightmare that bears the name Ed Gein . And believe us, what we saw in the trailer is even a step further than the most hardcore true crime enthusiasts could have imagined.

The trailer is here, and it is gruesome
Okay, we just have to say it: the trailer for Monsters 3: The Ed Gein Story has been online since this week, and it's not for the faint of heart. Netflix has another masterpiece on its hands, and this trailer is everything you didn't want to see but can't stop watching. From the chilling atmosphere to the disturbing images of Charlie Hunnam as Ed Gein – the expectation is now even more gruesome than we thought.
About Ed Gein: the man who inspired horror
Okay, let's get this straight: Ed Gein is officially convicted of two murders, but his actions go beyond that. Gein is especially notorious for what he did to the bodies of his victims afterwards – it was gruesome, macabre, and a horrific amount of inspiration for modern horror. Think of Psycho, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Silence of the Lambs – that whole thing was just taken from Gein's bizarre practices.
Gein's victims? Mary Hogan, a café owner who disappeared in 1954, and Bernice Worden, the owner of a hardware store, who was brutally murdered in 1957. But that's not the worst... oh no. Gein was known for the gruesome use of human remains: women's skin suits, chairs upholstered with human skin, belts made from nipples (yes) and masks made from peeled faces. You wonder: how does a person get that far? It's the pure definition of horror that you don't just see in movies, but that was real.

Monsters 3: The Gein Experience
Now we come to the hype of Monsters 3 on Netflix, and we have to tell you: it promises a lot. Unlike the previous seasons, where we saw Dahmer and the Menendez brothers , takes Monsters 3 us into the life of Ed Gein, in all its gruesome details. The trailer that was released this week? It's a visual nightmare that literally makes your skin crawl.
The horror is driven by the unmistakable performance of Charlie Hunnam, who embodies Gein. Don't think this will be a clean version of Gein – oh no, this is the real deal. Gein, who actually doesn't have that many murders to his name, but whose actions are so disturbing that you can't help but watch with your hands over your eyes.
When will the series be available?
We're all waiting for it, and it's almost here. Mark your calendar, because on October 3, 2025 comes Monster: The Ed Gein Story worldwide on Netflix. Eight episodes of pure tension, psychological intensity, and gruesome history – if you've binged the previous seasons of Monsters , you know this is not for the faint-hearted. But hey, for those who dare, it's a must-watch.
The Ed Gein Effect
We know you thought you were getting used to the horrors of the previous seasons, but Monsters 3 takes it up a notch scarier. If you ever found iconic figures like Buffalo Bill and Norman Bates a bit scary, then you better prepare for the source of inspiration. Gein was not only a murderer but also the person who really made horror realistic . This season fully embraces that and doesn't let you go. The trailer alone is enough to send chills down your spine.
