Netflix is dropping a brand new documentary on one of the most notorious serial killers in US history.

It comes as the platform's TV drama, Monster: The Ed Gein Story from American Horror Story's Ryan Murphy, tops the streaming charts.

Starring Charlie Hunnam as Gein, it's based on the true story of the Wisconsin serial killer known as the Butcher of Plainfield.

Gein brutally murdered two women and created a 'house of horrors' after robbing graves and dismembering bodies in the 1940s and 50s.

His brutal crimes were brought to light in 1957, while horrified investigators found he'd been creating clothing out of human skin.

The Netflix show has racked up a Rotten Tomatoes score of only 23 per cent, but if you are hankering for something else to add to your watchlist, then an upcoming true crime documentary about the daughter of another US serial killer might pique your interest.

From Unknown Number: The Highschool Catfish director Skye Borgman, the documentary titled My Father, The BTK, releases on Friday (October 10).

Kerri Rawson was horrified to learn her own father, Dennis Rader, was behind the murders of at least 10 people in Wichita, Kansas.

Rader, a former Church congregation president, tormented residents across three decades from the early 70s. He would stalk, bind, torture and then murder his victims, earning the moniker 'Blind, Torture, Kill,' or BTK.

His 10 victims included four members of the Otero family - two of them young children - and a 63-year-old neighbor.

The former Cub Scout leader also teased law enforcement for years, all while evading them. It wasn't until 2005 that his true identity was finally unmasked.

Rader was sentenced to 10 consecutive life sentences in August 2005, which was the longest sentence the judge could impose.

Rawson was 27 years old when the truth was unveiled. Now 47, she recalls how she would 'never forget that day.'

In the trailer for My Father, The BTK, Rawson said: "Can you imagine finding out that your father is one of the most evil people on Earth? He didn't just fool his family. He fooled an entire city. He literally fooled everybody."

She went on to admit she'd been 'hiding everything' about her father: "The abuse, the trauma."

She continued: "I don't know who my father is, what he was hiding. Did he really love us, or was he using us that whole time?

"It's hard to know who I am if every moment in my life was a lie."

The new BTK documentary is linked to Netflix's original series, Mindhunter, which was cut short after just two seasons in 2019.

It ended with the BTK killer still at large, setting them up for a third instalment, which was sadly never realized.

Meanwhile, Monster also features a cameo from FBI agents John Douglas and Robert Ressler, who loosely inspired Mindhunter characters Holden Ford and Bill Tench.

My Father, The BTK Killer drops on Netflix on Friday (October 10).
