Netflix's Dahmer is most popular this Halloween

If you're a fan of Netflix, you've probably watched "Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story".  It is Netflix's second-most-watched series behind Stranger Things season 4.  This according to new data.

Amazingly, Over 700 million hours of the show have been watched. 1.35 billion hours of Stranger Things 4 were watched in the first month.  The show "Dahmer-Monster" stars Evan Peters, Niecy Nash, Richard Jenkins, Molly Ringwald, and Michael Learnard.

First of all, the series is about the life of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer who is played by Evan Peters.  It's a very graphic show and should only be watched by mature audiences.   Secondly, the series explores the motive and methods of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer surrounding murders he committed from 1978 to  1991 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and Ohio.  Additionally, If you have a weak stomach, this is not the show for you.

Amazon is now selling Dahmer t-shirts and Halloween costumes with the popularity of the show

Dressing up like a serial killer shouldn't be too hard,  he looked like a pretty normal guy.

Get a blonde wig, some glasses and walk around with a butcher knife and you're in.

Launa Was Attending School Hour Away From where Dahmer lived.

I remember attending college in Madison, WI in 1990 and when the news of Jeffrey Dahmer came out, things got pretty strict on campus.    Milwaukee, WI is only about an hour and half from Madison.   The movie "Body Parts" was just released and it was the first weekend to hit theaters,  They immediately pulled it from all the theaters in the area. Cops were everywhere and curfews were placed all over campus.   Students were not allowed to walk around alone.  It was creepy at times knowing that he was staying in Madison and working at a bakery not far from campus.
