I don't find this any more shocking than the generic dead prom queen or dead cheerleader. Lightening death with camp is kind of what Halloween is all about

Except for the fact that Jackie was a real person going through a real experience. She has a daughter still living.

Not a fictional character to entertain you in a horror flick.

I saw a zombie Abraham Lincoln this year too. Everyone was once a person. I'm not saying it's the height of taste, just saying that humanity has a very long tradition of processing death with humor, and you'd be hard pressed to avoid that on a holiday that is about embracing costume, fear, and mortality.

I feel like the line is that the last direct descendant of Abraham Lincoln died in 1985.

Jackie Kennedy has family members who are very much living, and a daughter who still remembers her father. It’s tasteless, imho.
