Parents showed their children sporting the killer's trademark floppy blonde hair and square steel glasses. Some were dressed in a replica of his orange prison jumpsuit worn to his court trial. While other parents took it to the next level by including fake body parts in buckets, a camera and a sandwich made with meat from his victims' bodies, which he tried to offer to his neighbor. Dahmer murdered 17 men and boys in a spree of torture, dismemberment, sexual assault and even cannibalism from 1978-1991. Many Twitter users slammed the costume choice as "sick s**t" and "insensitive" to the families of his victims. Do you agree that these costumes are insensitive?

Another added: "WAY too many people in this thread saying "let kids be kids!" You can't tell me an 8yo decided to be Jeffrey Dahmer for Halloween. The parents took the kids' Spiderman costumes and handed them feet in a bucket. It's the parents using their kids to be edgy, and it's gross." Do you agree that parents are using their kids to be edgy? Yes

The controversial costume choices come after online retailer eBay banned the sale of Jeffrey Dahmer costumes from its site. eBay confirmed to Newsweek it had removed the costumes for going against its "Violence and Violent Criminals" policy which prevented "listings that promote or glorify violence or violent acts, or are associated with individuals who are notorious for committing violent acts." Do you agree with eBay banning the costumes? Yes
