New Jeffrey Dahmer & Ed Gein Docuseries Reveal Chilling New Details
Wisconsin is a lovely place famous for cheese, beer, the Fonz and fun-loving people. It’s also infamous for some really messed-up murderers.
Two of the Badger State’s most notorious sons, serial killers Ed Gein and Jeffrey Dahmer, get their stories told in two upcoming TV series.
First up is the MGM+ original docuseries, Psycho: The Lost Tapes of Ed Gein, premiering Sunday, September 17, at 10pm ET/PT.
This four-part true-crime series explores Gein, the Wisconsin grave robber and serial killer who inspired Psycho, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Silence of the Lambs, and was known as “The Plainfield Ghoul” and “The Mad Butcher.”
According to MGM+:
With never-before-heard recordings that offer brand-new revelations, the series transports viewers back to the late 1950s and into Gein’s perverse mind as it chronicles his upbringing and twisted relationship with his mother, his early grave-robbing, the murders leading up to his arrest and the police’s discovery of his terrifying house of horrors.
Then on Monday, September 18, streaming service FOX Nation debuts the four-part docuseries My Son Jeffrey: The Dahmer Family Tapes.
My Son Jeffrey includes exclusive never-before-heard conversations between serial killer and cannibal Jeffrey Dahmer and his father, Lionel, along with exclusive Dahmer family home movies.
