Monster: The Ed Gein Story - Yin Yang - Oct 17, 2025
Anyone watch it on Netflix? I'm almost done and on the last episode.
Pretty insane and good directing. Like how they incorporated Psycho, leatherface, and silence of the lamb in it.
TBH, I've never heard of him before.

I hated it. If I went into it with the idea that this is all fiction then it would've been enjoyable, but the fact that they tried to play it all off as real seriously made it almost impossible for me to watch.
I had a thread about it.

I enjoyed it. I didn't take it all as fact, but it was good.

Her story and going to NY was just a huge waste of plot.

Yeah it was honestly a bit shameful what they did. I think that his story is awful enough that they should've had zero issues coming up with content for the series, there was no reason for them to add so much fiction.
This now makes me lose any excitement for future Monster stories. It's already disappointing that the next story is going to be based on Lizzie Borden.
Lizzie Borden has had a half dozen movies and television series made about her already, and it's a case that she was acquitted for because they didn't have sufficient evidence that she did kill her parents.
Why not make one on the Nightstalker, Ed Kempur, Son of Sam, BTK, there's so many others. Unless their plan is to continuously add more fiction to the stories.
