Binge-Watching Killer Stories Leads To Nation’s Unsettling Jig

It appears the digital tastemakers at a certain streaming behemoth have perfected the art of the introductory hook. Patrons navigating to the latest true crime oeuvre concerning America’s more… *resourceful* artisans are now greeted with a peculiar tableau. Specifically, the notorious Ed Gein – a figure primarily remembered for his macabre interior decorating – is reportedly now prancing across our screens in a rather festive ensemble, complete with wig and hosiery, to the sprightly strains of a ragtime melody. One might almost infer an implicit invitation to join in.

This bold curatorial decision by Netflix certainly redefines the "mood setter." No longer are we merely consuming narratives of human depravity; we are invited to a spirited hoedown with it. Perhaps this is the next evolutionary step in entertainment: the interactive serial killer musical. It’s a subtle nudge, really, to embrace the lighter side of existential dread, transforming the chilling into the simply… unsettlingly quaint. Prepare for the collective national jig; it seems our desensitization has found its rhythm section.
