Because the murders, as well as Gein’s subsequent arrest, took place between the 40s and 60s, there isn’t much record of his voice \u2013 save for a few grainy recordings.<\/p>\n According to Hunnam, he reached out to Joshua Kunau, producer of the documentary “Psycho: The Lost Tapes of Ed Gein.” Kunau handed over a 70-minute interview with Gein, conducted by police the night he was arrested.<\/p>\n “I started to see him through a series of affectations to please his mother,” Hunnam said. “That\u2019s where the voice came from.”<\/p>\n If you aren’t familiar, Gein is the farmer-turned-grave robber who murdered several women, in addition to digging up corpses from graveyards in order to make clothing and keepsakes from skin and other body parts. These horrifying acts would go on to inspire horror movie villains as Norman Bates from Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho (mainly due to Gein’s extremely strange and toxic relationship with his mother), Buffalo Bill from The Silence of the Lambs, and Leatherface from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.<\/p>\n Monster: The Ed Gein Story is the third season of Ryan Murphy’s true crime Monster series, with the first two following Jeffrey Dahmer and the Menendez Brothers. Both seasons earned a combined total of 24 Emmy nominations (and from what I’ve seen so far, I think this season will follow suit).<\/p>\n Monster: The Ed Gein Story lands on Netflix on October 3.
