In order to get the voice of serial killer Ed Gein just right for the third season of Netflix's Monster, Charlie Hunnam went down a dark rabbit hole that led him to a rare recording that even Netflix couldn't find.
"Our best researchers couldn’t get it," director Max Winkler told Variety. "But Charlie got it, because he’s Charlie and he does crazy shit." It's important to known that Gein, like most famous serial killers, has a specfically unsettling voice, with Winkler putting it somewhere between Mark Rylance in the play Jerusalem and Michael Jackson. Because the murders, as well as Gein's subsequent arrest, took place between the 40s and 60s, there isn't much record of his voice – save for a few grainy recordings.
