Has a serial killer ever caught your attention?

I know the topic sounds really weird, but we were talking about serial killers in my law class and the Zodiac Killer was mentioned and we talked about how he would write letters to newspapers regarding how he killed his victims or demanded things (In one letter he demanded that people wear buttons on their shirt of him or he would kill a busload of kids). I was really interested by how mysterious he was so I went home and read up on him on wikipedia and later bought the movie Zodiac. For some reason he just fascinates me at how psychotic yet ingenious he was. Has a serial killer or other dark figure ever really interested you?

did they catch him?Anti-Venom

The ripper that was never caught. Not sure which one it is but that guy is weird.

edmund kemper was pretty hilarious. he used to have sex with the severed heads of his victims.

he also buried the head of one of his victims in his mothers garden because she "always wanted people to look up to her." oh, that silly serial killer.

Zodiac killer interests me. he killed all those people and sent in letters and even talked with some people. and he still hasnt been caught to this day. it amazes me.

also jeffrey Dahmer

In the 9th grade I also developed a serious fascination with The Zodiac. His story is just so amazing, I can't believe how clever he was.

well I do enjoy reading about abnormal people, and serial killers are high on the list, It facinates me how some people can end up that way (through genetics and childhood traumas)

I do have one quirk tho, I do NOT read about serial killers who only targeted women, since I see them as weak.

I much Prefer people like Richard Leonard Kuklinski (the iceman) who basicly knocked off alot of people with connection to the mob world (as he himself was part of)

I always thought that serial killer and psychopath were cool words... But I have no intention of being either.

Want goosebumps? Look up albert fish. Gave me chills.

I've read about a few really messed up guys, like Ed Gein, who made masks and clothing out of human skin, or John Wayne Gacy, who had 30 bodies in his crawlspace.Englando_IV

This one guy caught my attention. He came to my house with a machete and I busted a cap on his a**.

Serial killers and people like that interest me because they make me feel awesome about who I am.

Technically Ed Gein was not a serial killer. He only killed two people.The reason he is really famous is the grotesquness of his crimes, most of his furniture and "creations" were from graverobbing. He was so novice about killing when he killed the women he got caught for he killed her in the general store then dragged her body home and the cops just followed the blood trail. They found the victim gutted,and he was making what has entered the popular lexicon as a "skinsuit". He was trying to become his mother. But I would not call him a serial killer,ghoul is more the term I would use.mattykovax

[QUOTE="sammyjenkis898"][QUOTE="mattykovax"]We have one right in worcester,massachusettes where I am. He kills hookers that all fit a very distinct profile. they have never used the term serial killer,but there are five hookers that all look the same,killed the same,and dumped the same,and the authoritys here are looking for the same guy for all of them. Last I checked thats a serial killer.mattykovax
