I've said it before and I'll say it again: People who dress up as real life serial killers for Halloween are garbage human beings.

Except for the relatives of the serial killer's victims, many people adore Netflix's Dahmer series. Now that Halloween is approaching, the victim's mother, Tony Hughes, has spoken out against outfits that resemble Jeffrey Dahmer.

Shirley told TMZ that seeing a popular Netflix series about a serial killer was already quite upsetting, let alone seeing others dressed like the perpetrator. Hughes was one of the 17 men that Dahmer killed, and he was also nonverbal and deaf.

Due to the criticism, larger retailers have decided not to stock Dahmer costumes, but it's still simple to acquire costume accessories online on sites like eBay.

As Dahmer costumes, people are offering blonde wigs, vintage-inspired clothing, and wire-rimmed glasses.

"It hurts for Netflix and all the online stores to profit off her son's death, while none of the victims' families have seen a dime. She feels all the eBay ads should be taken down ... or at the very least, give the profits to the families," she said to TMZ.

Shirley still struggles with the pain of watching her son die at the hands of Dahmer.

If you want to dress up as Jack the Ripper that's one thing as everyone alive when he killed has passed but someone like Dahmer, no.

Maybe it means that she struggled processing his death but also this series (and I suppose others, possibly) portray her worst nightmare.

I just started watching the first episode and I don't think I want to watch any more.

The whole article's poorly written. It says the mother's name is Tony because it misread the original TMZ quote or something.
