Laurie Metcalf and Tom Hollander are on board for the next Monster

Ryan Murphy may be generating a ton of controversy with , but that's kind of the name of the game for true-crime series ( and Murphy, historically ). Regardless, Monster will press on next season with Wisconsin-based serial killer Ed Gein—a.k.a. the Butcher of Plainfield or the Plainfield Ghoul—who will be played by Sons Of Anarchy's Charlie Hunnam.

As of today, he'll also be joined by Laurie Metcalf, Tom Hollander, and Olivia Williams, who will play Gein's mother, Alfred Hitchcock, and Hitchcock's wife, Alma Reville, respectively ( ). Among, er, other things, Gein is known for being one of the inspirations for 's Norman Bates, so it seems like that creative connection might be a major part of the series.

To lodge himself in that hallowed directorial mind, all Gein had to do was kill two women (at least that he confessed to—he's suspected of murdering at least four more) and make a bunch of incredibly creepy interior design choices. When he was arrested in the 1950s, authorities found furniture, clothing, masks, and kitchenware made from human remains all over his home. Some were, um, sourced from the women he killed, while others were made from bodies he exhumed from the local cemetery. Gein died of lung cancer in a mental health institute in 1984, and now lies in an unmarked grave in his Wisconsin hometown.
