Monster: Rebuilding Ed Gein’s Home from Crime-Scene Photos | Collider BTS

Описание: Monster: The Elgin Story – Building Ed Gein’s Twisted World reveals how production designer Matthew Flood Ferguson brought one of America’s most disturbing true-crime legends to life. In this exclusive Collider interview, Ferguson takes us inside the meticulous—and chilling—design process behind Monster: The Elgin Story, from researching real crime scene photos to rebuilding Ed Gein’s infamous farmhouse in painstaking detail.

Ferguson breaks down how the team balanced authenticity with sensitivity, using vintage materials and period-accurate design to recreate the 1940s Midwest. He also shares how a single color—green—became a haunting metaphor for Gein’s fractured psyche, weaving through sets, props, and costumes as a subtle visual thread.

Along the way, Ferguson discusses how Psycho, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Silence of the Lambs shaped his creative approach, and how the unpredictable Illinois winter became its own cinematic challenge.
