13. Dexter Started Using Less Plastic To Save The Actors
There's a lot about having Dexter Morgan as your father which probably sucks. Like him being a serial killer, and sending you off to live with a stranger in Mexico whilst he fakes his death and becomes a lumberjack. Based on how well he secures his victims, however, you just know he's going to be an expert at tucking you into bed. Don't ask for any bed time stories, mind. Dexter must be responsible for most of the cling film sales on the Gold Coast, given the sheer amount he uses to strap people down. Well, for the first few seasons, at least. Originally, his murder victims were tightly cocooned in the stuff and the actors on the carving table were always actually naked (all that Saran wrap actually covered their modesty_. Over time, however, he started to use less of the stuff, and not for any in-universe reason. It was actually because that wrapping the actors that tightly meant that people were being suffocated. Not just having it over their mouth, but totally covering their bodies meant their skin couldn't breathe. It became so dangerous they may actually have died for real.
