It's almost that time again to get reacquainted with the Monster anthology series as the third instalment of the hit Ryan Murphy drama is set to land on screens this October.
It's also been announced that season 4 will focus on Lizzie Borden, who was tried and acquitted of the axe murders of her father and stepmother in 1892. Casting for that series has been confirmed but as of now, there are only a matter of weeks until the new third season – focused on Ed Gein – is released.
As per the Netflix synopsis: "In the frozen fields of 1950s rural Wisconsin, a friendly, mild-mannered recluse named Eddie Gein lived quietly on a decaying farm – hiding a house of horrors so gruesome it would redefine the American nightmare.
But who was he? Read on for the true story of Ed Gein, that has inspired the new season of Netflix's Monster.
Monster season 3 true story: Who was the real Ed Gein?
The household was a puritanical one, led by the teachings of Augusta, who Ed soon became devoted to despite her being verbally abusive and domineering. In approximately 1915, Augusta was said to have moved the family from La Crosse to Plainfield, still in Wisconsin, but to a farm. Ed rarely left the farm itself, only to go to school and in 1940, his father passed away, prompting the brothers take more of a leading role in the duties of the farm.
Ed's mother Augusta died one year later in 1945, which led to him becoming a complete hermit with the house descending into mess but Augusta's room being preserved as a shrine of sorts. In the wake of her death, Ed earned a living by working as a handyman (and an occasional babysitter) but also developed an interest in books about anatomy.
In 1957, a 58-year-old hardware store owner named Bernice Worden was reported missing in Plainfield and, having been seen with her a short time before her disappearance, police went to visit Ed at his home. It was there that they discovered her decapitated body, while her head was later found in a box and her heart was found in a plastic bag.

In 1968, Ed was deemed fit for trial and was subsequently found guilty of Worden's murder. It was said that due to financial reasons, prosecutors only tried one murder case, and so Ed wasn't tried for Hogan's murder.
Gein was deemed insane at the time of his sentencing and was returned to a psychiatric institution where he remained until his death in 1984. He died of complications from lung cancer and respiratory illnesses, aged 77.
