People are being warned not to dress up as serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer for Halloween this year following Netflix's documentary.
The Netflix story has already come under fire for "glamourising" the murderer - who killed and ate 17 victims in Ohio and Wisconsin between 1978 and 1991. And now, Dahmer - Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story has been inspiring viewers to use him as their next Halloween costume.
People have been outraged on social media after learning that some plan to dress up as the cannibalistic killer. They have warned others not to don a blonde wig and gold-frame glasses this Halloween, explaining that dressing as the deranged serial killer is a slap in the face to the families of his victims, reported LeicesterLive.

One person on Twitter said: "The constant lack of remorse for Dahmer's victims on social media makes me believe many people are going dress as Jeffery Dahmer and his victims for Halloween and that is so sick." Another added: "I'm am urging people to PLEASE not dress up as Jeffery Dahmer for Halloween. We get that there is a cool new Netflix show about him but this man was a real-life murderer who does not deserve the praise."
A third added: "FFS, please do not 'Cosplay' or dress up as Jeffrey Dahmer for Halloween. Stop idolizing a horrific human that committed atrocious crimes. It’s f****** weird. Go to therapy to work through your weird a** obsession, too. That s**t is not healthy."
