Infamous for his ‘twisted and ironically heroic’ acts of murder, the story of Christopher Scarver shook the world in the early 1990s. The man credited for ending Jeffrey Dahmer‘s reign of terror took matters into his own hands and brutally killed Dahmer while on a routine cleaning duty together. This earned him multiple sentences and a close-to-nothing chance of ever getting out of prison. While Scarver Sr. was closed off to the real world, he still has some ties with it. Before he was incarcerated, he was expecting a son, however, he never got to see him as he was...

A Milwaukee attorney who says he once represented eight of Jeffrey Dahmer’s victims’ families is calling on Ryan Murphy to share the profits from his Netflix mini-series Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story with his former clients.
Thomas M Jacobson also called Murphy’s suggestion of a memorial contribution for Dahmer’s victims “an aftertought”.
“The memorial contribution for the Dahmer victims by Ryan Murphy seems likes an afterthought,” Jacobson told US publication TheWrap via email. “Milwaukee wanted Dahmer memory to disappear so not wanting any remembrance of his mayhem in the community is a given.”
Jacobson also suggested what he considers the proper remedy: “The only meaningful Dahmer victim family action on Murphy’s part would be a monetary consideration from the Netflix profits for their exploitation and continuing trauma.”
Jacobson’s remarks come amid increased scrutiny on Murphy, whose based-on-a-true-story television series has been accused of exploitation.

The daughter of one of Jeffrey Dahmer’s victims has shared her regret after watching the Netflix show Monster about the serial killer.
Errol Lindsey was 19 years old when he was killed by Dahmer on 7 April 1991.
He was survived by five siblings and a partner who was pregnant at the time of his death.
The daughter of Mr Lindsey, 31-year-old Tatiana Banks, told Insider that “honestly ever since that show’s been on I haven’t been able to sleep”.
“I see Jeffrey Dahmer in my sleep,” she said of her nightmares that have lasted weeks.
Ms Banks, of Arizona, was born six months after the death of her father. She said she watched one episode of the show, which she called “heartbreaking”.

Netflix viewers have condemned the ending of the new No 1 series The Watcher.
Based on a true story, the seven-episode series follows a married couple who move into a house in Westfield, New Jersey, and find themselves being harassed by a sinister figure known as The Watcher.
Spoilers follow for the ending of The Watcher...
In the series, the couple (played by Naomie Watts and Bobby Cannavale) seem to have put the mystery to bed when Theodora (Noma Dumezweni), the private detective they had hired, confesses to being The Watcher.
Theodora claims that she was a previous occupant of the house who wanted to get them to move out so she could get back in. However, this is later debunked, as it is revealed that the terminally ill Theodora lied and simply wished to give the family some closure before she died.
The series thus ends with the couple moving out,...

A brand new Netflix show has just broken the world record for the most jump scares in a single episode.
The horror series, which is available to stream now, has been presented with the Guinness World Record after earning the achievement.
This is certainly good press for the new show, which is called The Midnight Club.
It comes from co-creator Mike Flanagan, whose previous projects for Netflix include The Haunting of Hill House, its follow-up The Haunting of Bly Manor and 2021’s Midnight Mass.
Flanagan has also directed the films Hush and the adaptation of Stephen King’s sequel to The Shining, titled Doctor Sleep.
The irony of the world record is that Flanagan has been vocal about his dislike of jump scares in the past.
“My whole career I completely s*** on jump scares as a concept, and I wanted to make sure it was pinned to me, too,...

Evan Peters has revealed the chilling interview he watched in preparation for playing serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer.
The actor appears in the Netflix series about the notorious murderer, which has divded users of the streaming service since its release last month.
Despite the complaints surrounding Dahmer’s “nauseating” gratuitous content, it’s agreed that Peters turns in an impressive performance as the killer, who murdered 17 men and boys between the years 1978 and 1991.
Ahead of playing the role, Peters was told to watch a particular interview by the show’s creator, Ryan Murphy.
The interview in question was conducted by Stone Phillips for Dateline NBC, which was recorded in 1994.
“Ryan sent me the scripts and then called and said, ‘Dahmer is interesting in that he is almost regretful and has guilt and sort of confusion about what went on,” Peters told Netflix following the release of the series.

Netflix's latest true-crime series, "Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story," is revisiting the chilling murders of the notorious serial killer. The 10-part limited series delves into Jeffrey's childhood and the psychological behavior that preceded his unnerving string of sexual assaults and murders, which he carried out over a decade before finally getting caught in 1991. Jeffrey horrifically raped, killed, and dismembered 17 known victims, most of whom were underage males of color, between 1978 and 1991.
The Netflix series, from Ryan Murphy, presents a fictionalized version of the true events and is told, in part, through the lens of the victims of the late murderer, portrayed by Evan Peters. Jeffrey's parents - mother Joyce Dahmer (portrayed by Penelope Ann Miller) and father Lionel Dahmer (played by Richard Jenkins) - also play a huge role in the series as it analyzes whether the infamous criminal's emotionally devoid upbringing led to his distorted psyche.
