Who's your favourite serial killer?

hoorsmelt

Many people look up to serial killers because they live their lives free from restraint, with the sole aim of fulfilling their desires. Thanks to d'interweb there are a lot more of them than there used to be, so I think it might be nice to sit down and discuss which of these characters is your favourite? I happen 2 b an Aileen Wuornos man.

So you're blaming the internet for a rise in the amount of serial killers?

Any links to figures or the like?

Not a serial killer but those 3 chaps in the Ukraine should of been hung for what they did. There was a copycat murder in Russia after it too. Some people are just fcuking sick.

I don't admire him (not sure what you're getting at?) but for pure couldn't-make-it-up evil, read the confession Albert Fish made to one of his victims mothers. Makes Hannibal Lecter look like a wimp. Fact is often stranger and scarier than fiction.

I was born the day Ted Bundy met the electric chair. My sister even jokes every year on my birthday, oh it's Ted's anniversary today!!
But I wouldn't be saying he was a legend, he was a sick, twisted and evil person.
The zodiac killings were very interesting though.

But with regards to Ted Bundy and The Green River Killer I read this a few years ago, a great book - The Riverman: Ted Bundy and I Hunt for the Green River Killer

You are a weirdo (you remind me of Mr Brainly, a deranged poster from another board). Who are these many people who look up to serial killers because they live their lives free from restraint with the sole aim of fulling their desires? I would imagine only someone with the same character traits or lack of them would admire serial killers. What is there to admire about people who inflict such fear, terror, physical and mental pain on innocent people maybe for a few short seconds or over a period of days, weeks or months? Do explain.

Most of us hope never to meet or have any one that we care about meet with one of these psychopathic individuals.

That's what my sister says too!!! But thankfully I am a lovely person and have no murderous urges (yet anyway!!!)

Ted Bundy. He's just an interesting character. Led a complete, perfect (up to a point) double life. Very charming, intelligent and articulate, but very, very ill. He must be a psychiatrist's dream. His last interview before he was executed is worth watching, it's on Youtube.

Deus Ex Machina

I used to have something of an obsession with the subject of serial killers. They are abhorrent, of course, but they are also fascinating. If you study any field, the norm is rarely as interesting as the outliers. When the subject is social behaviour, serial killers are about as abnormal as it gets.

One of the nuttier ones I've come across (not literally) is the case of H. H. Holmes It reads like fiction, from his purpose built murder castle to the profits he made from selling his victim's skeletons etc to medical schools (Holmes was himself a doctor). His murders appeared to be indiscriminate: men, women and children disappeared into his dungeon. He confessed to something like 30 murders, but may have killed as many as 200.

Just googled him there cause I never heard of him before... kinda wish I hadn't; that's one funked up individual.

I wouldn't say she's my 'favourite' killer (kinda hard to phrase that without sounding weird), but I've always hard an interest in Aileen Wuornos and her life story. It's so depressing, especially her childhood. The film about her life 'Monster' was devastating to watch. The Nick Broomfield documentary is also really good.

wooo quotes for my thesis on serials killers

lol thats funny.
the one thing about ted though that i think he was right about was the influence pornography can have on a person.if you watch the interview he does on youtube you will get what i mean, otherwise the man was a lunatic.

they all have one thing in common,**** childhoods.aileen wurnos childhood was awful.

as for having a favourite lol dennis nilsen http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_Nilsen
was fascinating because he just did it and made no effort to deny it or hide the evidence.they knocked on his door and he said youd better come in lol and he told them everything.

by the way youtube is incredible for documentaries on these people.

Crazy thing about Kemper was that he was managed to convince the psychiatrists whom evaluated him that he had reformed (probably helped by his 136 IQ) despite the fact that a previous psychiatric evaluation concluded that he should never be released into society again and that there was a high probability that he would re-offend.

The first evaluation should have probably been taken more seriously, just a few years after his release he was out decapitating women.

He's up for parole this year. Who knows, maybe his charm and intellect might get him released again!

I was going to say Jeffrey Dahmer, but he never had sex with his mums head. Just read Kempers wiki page, when he was a child he acted out bizarre sexual rituals with his sisters' dolls!

Already been said but Ted Bundy is the one which certainly springs to mind.

I spent about an hour reading his entire wikipedia page several weeks back which coincided with me being home alone at night and it was just before I was going to sleep and it definitely gave me the chills. He was one sick individual :cool:
