For those more interested in a scripted series than a true crime documentary, the horrors of the Milwaukee Cannibal will be retold in Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story.
Evan Peters (American Horror Story, Kick-Ass, X-Men) will be portraying the titular serial killer, who will be shown from the perspective of his victims.
The choice to tell the story from the point-of-view of those around the killer (rather than the killer themselves) reminds us of Netflix’s Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile.
That film showed Bundy (played by Zac Efron) from the perspective of his long-time girlfriend, Liz Kendall (Lily Collins) and, we have to admit, it made the gruesome story even more chilling!
Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story is set to premiere by the end of 2022.
