Ed Gein looked more like Elmer Fudd but okay.

Also Gein was seriously mentally ill, so much so he couldn't stand trial at first and ended up in a mental institution, not prison. I don't want to see how Murphy is gonna glamourize that in addition to the problem of the Dahmer series where it was disrespectful to the victims/their families.

The fucked up people are about to stan and write self insert fic about Gein.

wta: don't underestimate Murphy. He WILL find a way to glamourise this.

I beg your pardon. He fashioned what from what now? 😭

[phililen3]

Yep

References to it are everywhere, Ryan Murphy already incorporated it in season 2 of American Horror Story, with "Bloody Face" and his skin lamp (among other things)

Omfg. I’m invested in true crime but never heard of this man and thought that shit was just thought of by a very morbid creative director. Thank you for educating me

Charlie....dump the models. I can do it better

So taking on a role like this is fine but 50 Shades is apparently "career ending"?

[spankmypirate]

how many shows does Ryan Murphy have coming out/in the pipeline?? this is nuts

meanwhile we've waited like a century for Severance Season 2

He has a cruise ship doctor dramedy coming out on ABC, too.
