As well as a first episode devoid of any songs and just eerie instrumentals, the new third season boasts hits from Dinah Washington, Bette Midler, The Rolling Stones and Yes.

The official soundtrack comes from American composer Mac Quayle, who has devised a 23-track album full of some of the background tunes that match up to the creepy nature of the series.

Monster: The Ed Gein Story digs into the real-life case of the serial killer and how his crimes "birthed a new kind of monster that would haunt Hollywood for decades," according to its synopsis.
