I don't know what prompted me to look at his Instagram account but I can't unsee that he dressed up as real life serial killer from Wisconsin, Ed Gein for Halloween. That just seems really creepy and messed up to me. It's one thing to lean into the fictional scary that is much of Halloween, but a real life serial killer? What prompts someone to think that is an appropriate costume? Or am I just so out of tune with Halloween? I admit it never was my holiday. It is really unsettling though.
Edited to add that after reading a little more about Ed Gein - it's even more disturbing now I that I have learned how obsessed Ed Gein was with his mom. My ex's IG posted included this sentence, "The haircut was a big of a commitment, have gotten some funny looks lately, but mother approves" which seems an acknowledgment of the parallel.
Oh how glad I am that I'm out of that relationship!
