When cinematographer Michael Bauman began research for Netflix’s “Monster: The Ed Gein Story,” he got unique insight into the story.
The eight-part series, led by Charlie Hunnam, tapped into the serial killer who killed at least two women and exhumed several bodies for his heinous purposes in the 1950s. Raised by an evangelical mother whom he obsessed over, he desecrated human cadavers to make a skin suit — Gein and his story are rife with disturbing, unprecedented psychological drama. The case inspired movies such as “Psycho,” “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” and “The Silence of the Lambs.”
