Horrifyingly, the Dahmer movie was based on real life events which centered around the prolific serial killer of the same name.
The real Jeffrey Dahmer…
Jeffrey Lionel Dahmer was born on 21 May, 1960 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. As a child he was known for collecting the carcasses of dead animals which he would later dismember at home.

His obsession with death and bones only grew as the years went on which led to Jeffrey asking his father to teach him how to preserve animal bones in a bleach solution.
Things escalated…
At the age of 18 years old, Dahmer committed his first murder. His victim was Steven Mark Hicks, an almost 19 year old hitchhiker who Dahmer lured back to his family home where he brutally murdered the boy.

Unfortunately, this wasn’t to be the end of Jeffrey Dahmer’s killing spree. From 1978 until 1991, the prolific killer claimed the lives of 17 men and boys.
A sadistic killer…
The majority of his later murders included elements of necrophilia and cannibalism as well as the permanent preservation of body parts.
