recently announced that Season 3 of Ryan Murphy’s hit Netflix anthology series, “Monster” — which had popular previous seasons about Jeffrey Dahmer and the Menendez brothers — will be about Gein, starring Charlie Hunnam.

Or, monsters from outer space. Or, monsters that arose out of the Japanese seas, like Godzilla.”But, he said, Norman Bates was “the first really all-American monster.” He added, “and it really transformed horror films after that.
