Why Were Jeffrey Dahmer's Eyes Yellow? Jeffrey Dahmer's Glasses - Seventeen

You might even assume that those serial killer eyes might be peeking out from behind a pair of wire-rimmed aviators, a style of glasses that became notorious thanks to Jeffrey Dahmer.

In Monster: the Jeffrey Dahmer Story on Netflix, Evan Peters plays serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer as the TV series tells the story of his life from infancy to death at the hands of a fellow inmate.

Throughout his time as a teen living with parents Lionel and Joyce Dahmer up until his trial in 1992, Dahmer wore a pair of '70s-style aviator eyeglasses as well as bright yellow colored contacts.

His stepmom Shari Dahmer told Inside Edition in 1992, "He's not wearing glasses so that he can't see people.

If you have ever wondered why Dahmer (and therefore Evan Peters, cast in the role of Dahmer) has such creepy, unsettling eyes, it might be because of the colored contacts that he wore.

Originally blue-eyed, Dahmer would often wear bright yellow contacts before going to scope out gay bars for men to attack.

The killer would channel both the movie villains and get into character by wearing yellow contacts.

Dennis Rader, and Ed Kemper all happened to wear glasses — some (Rader, Kemper) even donned pairs of aviators that looked eerily similar to Dahmer's signature glasses.

It's hard to know why so many serial killers from the '70s and '80s wore glasses, but the common thread could partially be attributed to the fact that glasses obscure a portion of the face, as a sort of mask.
