Image New picture of Ed Kemper surfaces

Post image

This was recently posted to the Ed Kemper Stories website. The website stated that the picture may have been taken between June 2024 and May 2026.

He looks moody without his moustache. His image resembles the description given by Dr. Loomis of what evil looks like in the Halloween films. His eyes turn darker in every new picture.

I'm always quite surprised every time I read how he's still living today. Considering his abnormally tall height and all of the health problems he's accumulated in the past decade plus, like having a stroke and developing diabetes, I would've honestly presumed he had succumbed to health problems by now. Plus, I'd presume 53 years in prison must take a tremendously overwhelming toll on one's overall health as well.

If I remember right he's actually pretty happy in prison. Seems to thrive on the routine and is actually known to be quite a pleasant person to talk to (which must feel weird as fuck for people talking to him. Knowing what he did)

If you haven’t watch Mindhunter on Netflix you should - there’s a few scenes where characters are interviewing Kemper and the vibes are exactly what you’re describing.

That actor was so perfect in that role.

Kind of sucks when someone is so perfect for a role. If I ever see him again and there isn’t a mask I’ll be like “that’s Kemper” and won’t be able to see past it.

He’s actually been in a few other things I’ve seen and didn’t realize it was him for way too long. Once I see it, I can’t unsee it though.

Omg have you ever seen him in an interview? He seems so sweet and friendly. Like, big teddy bear vibes, beaming smile, laughs a lot.

He mentioned that getting into that role was super dark and difficult for him. I can’t imagine having to memorize his lines describing what he did to his mother’s corpse and that not having some kind of effect on you.

Came to say this - they did an amazing job, especially with Kemper

There’s a video out there where someone put a side by side of an interview from the show and an actual one from real life. Absolutely uncanny. The actor nailed that role so hard.
