he dug up recently buried bodies. Most of the women he exhumed were said to have resembled his mother, and he said he was trying to create a “woman suit” in the hopes of becoming his mother. He also admitted to having shot a 51-year-old woman named Mary Hogan, who had disappeared three years earlier; her head was found in his house.

Although it was only proven that he had killed two women, he was suspected of killing several others. Ultimately, he served the rest of his life in a mental hospital, where he later died at the age of 77.

Charlie Hunnam (Sons of Anarchy) will play Gein in Monster: The Ed Gein Story, and his mother Augusta will be portrayed by Laurie Metcalf (Scream 2).

Monster: The Ed Gein story will premiere on Netflix October 3.
