Matt Roush says...
The fictional fiends that Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan concocted for their American Horror Story anthology series pale next to the real-life ghoul portrayed by Sons of Anarchy‘s Charlie Hunnam in the latest installment of their Monster docudrama franchise. Hunnam is Ed Gein, a 1950s Wisconsin farm boy whose mild-mannered demeanor masks a twisted psyche that derives from a perverse mommy complex — Laurie Metcalf is Ed’s morbid mom — which would later inspire the creation of Psycho‘s Norman Bates. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Buffalo Bill from The Silence of the Lambs also owe a debt to the horrors found on Gein’s farm, reenacted in lurid detail in this eight-part series.
