Horror The Original Monster: Ed Gein | Netflix/Ryan Murphy/Charlie Hunnam

[Shinobi Shaw]

I just started it last night and I’m up to episode 4, and yeeeeeeah, I agree with the consensus.

It’s some good ideas in it, Laurie Metcalf is amazing as always, but it’s all over the place.

Exclusive | Ed Gein biographer slams Ryan Murphy’s ‘Monster’ Season 3: ‘Pure fabrication’

True crime writer Harold Schechter told The Post that “a very large percentage of the show is just made up.”

Saw this coming.

He's probably right. I have no recall of Gein ever having a legit girlfriend.

I watched a bit of this last night. Hunnam’s Ed Gein comes off like a really jacked version of Adam Sandler in The Waterboy.

He's probably right. I have no recall of Gein ever having a legit girlfriend.

That's because he didn't. Schechter is the foremost expert on Gein. In addition to writing Deviant, he also wrote the true crime graphic novel "Did You Hear What Eddie Gein Done?"

Yeah I finally finished it the other night and it's not on Dahmer or even Menendez Bros' level.

It had the most speculated/ made up stuff of the group but I was still fascinated enough to binge it.

All the horror movie stuff in this season is weird and makes no sense to me. Also, Tom Hollander looked terrible as Alfred Hitchcock.

But like most TV shows based on true events and real people, they are rarely accurate. I loved The Iron Claw, but that movie took significant creative license and was highly inaccurate to true events. Still it wasn't as absurd as this.

Also, what was up with Charlie Hunnam's voice? You can listen to audio footage of Ed Gein on YouTube. He doesn't sound like Derek Zoolander.

The John Wayne Gacy show on Peacock is pretty damn close to the actual events and didn't **** on the victims. This show is so bad that if any of the people around this case were still alive, they could sue Netflix for defamation including Ed Gein himself. Absolute dog **** of a show

Like, I get their intention for using the horror movie stuff because they wanted to show how they all tie in to Gein, but that execution was horrible and jarring.

Like, for example, it uses things that were made up and imagined in those horror movies, and then uses them for Ed Gein...so what is going on here? What is the dialogue we're supposed to be having at the horror movies and horror filmmakers? Is Ian Brennan saying that Alfred Hitchcock and Tobe Hooper are the real monsters?

Yes, the characters and events of those movies were loosely inspired by Ed Gein and his murders, but they were fantasy for the most part, make-believe. They were not real-life people or figures.

Meanwhile, based on a true story Ed Gein show presents Ed Gein being involved with murders that he literally had nothing to do with or was never connected to.

I mean, yes, with movies and TV shows based on true people and real events, you expect falsehoods and creative license, but not to this level of brain rot.

IMHO, Netflix, critics, and audiences rewarded Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan far too much and gave them huge egos, making them far too comfortable to do whatever they wanted and get away with everything.

 

[Joe Von Zombie]

Harold Schechter, author of Deviant and Did You Hear What Eddie Gein Done, might be pursuing legal action due unauthorized usage of elements from Deviant. I hope he does. He likely won't win because only one author (Harlan Ellison) has ever actually won a case even similar to this in the history of the medium but there's still a chance.
