STRANGER Things fans are convinced they have spotted sadistic serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer in the background of an episode.
Following the release of new true crime drama Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, Netflix viewers think they’ve seen Dahmer in a scene featuring Max Mayfield.
Dahmer, portrayed by American Horror Story star Evan Peters in the series, was convicted of brutally killing 17 victims, all male, between the years of 1978 and 1991.
Following his capture by police, he was eventually imprisoned in 1992, and, once in prison, died at the age of 34 after being beaten to death by another inmate.
Stranger Things season 4, meanwhile, set in the fictional town Hawkins, Indiana, takes place in the mid-1980s, when Dahmer would have been around 25-years-old.
But that hasn’t stopped fans thinking he’s featured in the background of an episode, after seeing someone who looks almost like him.
TikTok users have gotten caught up in the bizarre crossover, as the clip of Max getting off the school bus has circulated.
"Help. Why is he here?" one fan wrote, while another added: "He was there and I didn’t notice that. Like what?"
Viewers have been left feeling pretty traumatised after watching Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, while many are praising the fact that it doesn't glamourise the serial killer.
Dahmer operated in the city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin in the United States and while still at large, he was referred to as the Milwaukee Monster by the media.
He was eventually caught when a victim of his managed to escape from captivity and flag down two police officers.
The ten-part series is told through the lives of the victims who were impacted by the systemic racism and institutional failures of the police.
It allowed Dahmer to continue his killing spree from 1978 to 1991.
Stranger Things and Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story are both available to watch on Netflix.
