Monster: The Ed Gein Story (Original Soundtrack) accompanies the 2025 Netflix limited series Monster: The Ed Gein Story, part of the Monster anthology created by Ryan Murphy & Ian Brennan. The original score was composed by Mac Quayle, an Emmy-winning composer known for Mr. Robot, American Horror Story and American Crime Story. Quayle’s music for the series blends unsettling textures, sparse instrumental themes and atmospheric tension to reflect the psychological descent and eerie tone of the true-crime narrative.
The soundtrack album was released October 3, 2025 digitally via Netflix Music. It contains 23 original score tracks, runs approximately 47 minutes, and is available on major platforms including Apple Music and digital download services.
The score’s sound is chilling and restrained, using minimalist motifs and dark ambient cues to underscore the horror and human tragedy of Ed Gein’s story, often juxtaposing quiet unease with sharp musical tension that mirrors the narrative’s unsettling direction.
In addition to Quayle’s original score, the series features various licensed period songs from the 1940s–1970s (such as “Goodbye Horses” by Q Lazzarus and others) used within episodes but not included in the core score album.
