When it came to Jeffrey Dahmer’s apartment in Netflix’s Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, director Carl Franklin pictured a gritty fish tank filled with yellow-green algae and lifeless fish. He wanted to reach audiences on a visceral level, placing viewers in the notorious serial killer’s putrid living room from the victim’s perspective.
“I wanted to create more of a sensory world as opposed to just a set — something that would evoke a certain aroma or a stench, let’s say, rather than aroma,” Franklin tells Rolling Stone.

Netflix’s Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story has seen plenty of controversy since it release last September. And following Evan Peters’ Golden Globe win for portraying serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, it has been reignited yet again by no less than a family member of a Dahmer victim.
Shirley Hughes, the mother of Jeffrey Dahmer’s 12th victim Tony Hughes (a deaf man killed in 1991), has spoken out against the series the same week Evan Peters won his first Golden Globe, which could possibly increase viewers of the show, which has been one of Netflix’s most popular up to this point. In an interview with TMZ, she said, “There’s a lot of sick people around the world, and people winning acting roles from playing killers keeps the obsession going and this makes sick people thrive on the fame.”

Evan Peters’ Golden Globes win is being criticized by the mother of Jeffrey Dahmer victim Tony Hughes.
Emmy winner Peters took home the 2023 Golden Globe award for Best Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Television Movie for playing the serial killer in Netflix’s “Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story.”
The hit series has been marred by controversy since its premiere, with multiple families of Dahmer’s victims alleging that the “Monster” production did not reach out to those affected by Dahmer’s killing spree and that the series was “re-traumatizing” for those involved.
Between 1978 and 1991, Dahmer killed 17 men, mostly targeting Bipoc queer males. The story of Tony Hughes, whom Dahmer killed in 1991, marks a pivotal episode for “Monster,” but Hughes’ mother Shirley Hughes does not approve of Peters’ Golden Globes win, nor the series itself.

The mother of one of Jeffrey Dahmer’s 17 victims isn’t happy that Evan Peters neglected to mention any of the men Dahmer killed in his Golden Globes acceptance speech. Peters won Best Actor in a Limited Series for his portrayal of the serial killer in the Netflix series “Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story.”
In his speech, Peters said, “[The show] was a difficult one to make, difficult one to watch but I sincerely hope some good came out of it.”
Shirley Hughes, the mother of aspiring model Tony Hughes, told TMZ on Thursday that acknowledging the real lives taken was the least Peters could have done, and that the omission adds to the grief for the families.

Ryan Murphy is speaking out on Netflix’s decision to take away the LGBTQ tag on true crime series “Dahmer — Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story.”
The series, starring Evan Peters as the titular serial killer who preyed on queer men, had the biggest debut ever on Netflix and was originally categorized as LGBTQ content on the streamer. However, the tag was removed two days after its September premiere due to social media backlash.
“I also don’t think that all gay stories have to be happy stories,” series creator Murphy told The New York Times. “There was a moment on Netflix where they removed the LGBTQ tag from ‘Dahmer,’ and I didn’t like it and I asked why they did that and they said because people were upset because it was an upsetting story. I was, like, ‘Well, yeah.’ But it was a story of a gay man and more importantly,...

Creator and executive producer Ryan Murphy has finally spoken out regarding the growing criticism of his Netflix biographical crime drama Dahmer– Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story.
The series tells the story of Jeffrey Dahmer, a serial killer who horrifically murdered 17 men between the years of 1978 and 1991. Despite the show’s stated goal of “exposing these unconscionable crimes, centered around the underserved victims and their communities impacted by the systemic racism and institutional failures of the police,” the series took heat for its focus on the killer’s gruesome behavior and the specific framing of his victims’ stories.

Ryan Murphy’s “Dahmer” is one of Netflix’s most watched series of all time, but it’s also one of the streamer’s most controversial. The show has been lambasted online for glorifying real-life serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, and some family members of his victims have spoken out, claiming the series is “retraumatizing” and capitalizes on others’ tragedy without involving them in the project.
Murphy alluded to the controversy surrounding the hit Netflix show at an event at Los Angeles’ DGA Theatre on Thursday, saying the subject matter “is something that we researched for a very long time.”

Rodney Burford as Tony Hughes (far right)
Jeffrey Dahmer's shocking crimes are at the center of Netflix's new limited series "Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story." Though mountains of documentaries, podcasts, and written media have extensively covered the murders committed by the serial killer, the latest Evan Peters-led Ryan Murphy project puts forth a dramatized account of the crimes, presented in part through the victims' points of view. Episode six of the 10-part scripted series, titled "Silence," delves into Tony Hughes's (played by Rodney Burford) death at the hands of the Milwaukee Monster, who killed, sexually assaulted his victims' corpses, preserved them, and sometimes consumed their dismembered organs. Given that aspects of the show are fictionalized, viewers may be curious about how much of what they see in the series is accurate to real-life events.

Martin Scorsese's film Hugo is adapted from The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick. In an exclusive interview the American artist talks about working with Marty, his love of cross-hatching – and why he always keeps a mirror on his desk
The boy – wearing a tatty frock coat and waistcoat – runs across a station forecourt, through iron columns, steam and glass. Turn the page, and he enters the mouth of a square tunnel, into the shadows; he pauses, against the tunnel wall, to ensure he is unobserved. Turn again, and we see, close-up, his arm reach towards an ornate iron grate in the wall; and then – in the graphic equivalent of a cinema zoom-shot – we see his boot, with holes in the sole, disappearing into a duct, and the station's concealed innards and passages.

Gossip abounds at the Oldie of the Year lunch as the great and good gather to exchange jokes, jibes and a bit of mild filth
Off to the Oldie of the Year lunch and some of the nicest gossip of the year. I noticed the magazine's slogan – "Buy it before you snuff it", which does not have quite the same cheery ring as, say, "It's naughty but it's nice". I bumped into the great children's illustrator Shirley Hughes, who was chatting to the celebrated TV critic Philip Purser, whom she had met only once since they learned ballroom dancing together in Wirral, Merseyside, some 70 years ago.
