Episode 4: Monster - The Ed Gein Story SPECIAL: Psycho, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre & Silence of the Lambs

With Ryan Murphy’s Monster: The Ed Gein Story out, this week’s episode of What Have I Missed? looks back - not at Gein himself, but at how his crimes changed cinema forever.

Three films. Three new languages of fear.

Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho — the birth of the slasher and the moment horror learned to hide in plain sight.
Tobe Hooper’s The Texas Chain Saw Massacre — the rise of the final girl, shot in feral heat and chaos.
Jonathan Demme’s The Silence of the Lambs — the film that made female applications to the FBI soar and laid the blueprint for every criminal procedural since.

A study in shock, survival and psychology - tracing how one man’s brutality became the dark mirror of modern horror.

Let's get into it.
