 The Cannibalism and Fridge Full of Body Parts Viewers may believe the show's severed head in the fridge, organs and genitalia in the freezer, and other gory finds seem like something out of a poor horror movie, and they would be correct. All of this happened, and the fact that Dahmer's actions has served as the foundation for numerous horror films since then. When authorities inspected Dahmer's flat in person, they discovered picture albums containing dismembered bodies and pieces. They also found bleached skulls, multiple heads in the fridge and freezer, barrels of hydrochloric acid used by Dahmer to dissolve the dead, and signs that he had been consuming the body parts. In an interview following his conviction, Dahmer admitted to cannibalism. He stated, "'I was branching out. That's where the cannibalism started. Eating of the heart and the arm muscle, it was a way of making me feel that they were a part of me.'"
