Real life recordings share the chilling actual voice Ed Gein had compared to the Netflix show

After watching Monster: The Ed Gein Story, you’re probably wondering if the voice the killer is shown to have had in the series is real. It’s creepy in the Netflix series, and nobody seems to be able to get over it.

The series is the third instalment of Ryan Murphy’s true crime anthology on Netflix, after The Jeffrey Dahmer Story in 2022 and The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story in 2024. Killer Ed Gein was active in his hometown of Plainfield, Wisconsin, from 1947 to 1957. As well as his crimes, the Netflix show gives us a chilling look at the life of Ed Gein, and people can’t stop talking about his voice and if it was real.

Actor Charlie Hunnam put on the voice of the character, and it’s believed Ed Gein spoke that way because of the twisted relationship he had with his mother. It’s widely believed the relationship with his mother was what caused Gein to go on to what he did.

Gein always wanted to please his mother, so it’s thought that was the reason he would speak so softly. It’s believed his voice wasn’t how he naturally spoke, but was instead stemmed from his mother’s want to have a little girl. Gein would speak like this to try and make his mother happier.

Charlie Hunnam listened to real life voice recordings of Ed Gein to help shape his portrayal. There are a few YouTube clips available which include Ed Gein’s actual voice. People have found snippets of his interrogations with police, and interviews the killer has done over the years. Full tapes were featured in an MGM+ documentary Psycho: The Lost Tapes of Ed Gein, which was released in 2023.
