so.... you're agreeing with my point? ok

Its why serial kills draw in the interests of many people because they're almost impossible to explain.

Leatherface, seeing that guy running after you with a Chainsaw would really make you go "Holy f*ck, this guy's going to kill me".

Also does anyone else find this scene funny, or am I just sick and twisted like he is.

Richard Kuklinski

A great book on Richard Kuklinski "The ice Man" and also the youtube videos show how he has/had no emotion about what he was doing, it was a job. Plain and simple.

There was a quote either in the book, or on the video, I can't remember, but it was along the lines of; (He was a hitman for the mob)

"You are a dead man, not when I find you and kill you, you are a dead man when I am given a peice of paper with your name on it. There is nothing that will stop me from killing you, it may take days, weeks, even months, but the moment I have your name, you are dead"

And to his Credit he never once failed to deliver the job.

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.

Have you a link to this story I did not hear about it?

Immortalising Serial Killers is wrong. The media and Madame Tussads and others should be condemned for it.

Why did John Lennon's killer say he killed John Lennon....

"So I will be remembered"

I know his name but I won't say it.

He doesn't deserve his name mentioned.

Decorating killers is sickening

From wikipedia:
"In 1978 Rodney Alcala, despite his status as a convicted rapist and registered sex offender, was accepted as a contestant on The Dating Game".

Yea, He didn't do it for any perverted or other sick reasons it was just all for the cold hard cash. Kind of bloke you could have a pint with, Mind you just the one thought.:D

Richard Kuklinski shouldnt really count, he was an emotionless killer, but a contract killer none the less. Their statistics are usually seperated from those of the "kill for pleasure" groups.

Big shout has to be for Richard Ramirez (read "The Nightstalker - The Life and Crimes of Richard Ramirez" by Philip Carlo if you haven't heard of him)

A guy who started out robbing places to keep his addiction fed, only to start to enjoy the power and the death and the control. Kept the eyes of one victim and tortured many others, all in their houses in the middle of the night. The fear he created among every soul in the city was unreal, its as if no one was untouchable and what made it worse was he got you in the one place you felt safe.

Also, the amount of women that followed him after his arrest was sick. One even married him, while another (a juror at his trial) became a PI to try and prove his innocence.

A friend of mines parents were spree killers on death row in the states. One of the most fúcked up childhoods you can imagine considering they brought her along to the killings when she was just a toddler

Richard Chase "the sacramento vampire" is an interesting one. Absolutely unbelievable crazy cannibal who took too much acid and ate a babies brain

Nope, a serial killer is somebody who usually kills for sexual reasons and there has to be a sufficient amount of time between murders. Kuklinski killed for money just like a hangman in a prison.

Just reading through his wikipedia entry and it seems to me he killed anything at all (apart from women and children, bless him), practicing on innocents, refining his technique. No cash transactions there I'm afraid.

Are there any irish serial killers? the shankhill butchers are dubbed as serial killers but any one that acted on their own?

maiden · 04-01-2012 12:01PM

I have 2 favourites, Jeffrey Dahmer and Andrei Chikatilo

Dahmer because of the fact he kept the body parts so close to him!

And Chikatilo becuase he didnt have a 'type' he just killed anyone!

Two English guys came over here in the 1970s and killed a number of women, three i think. Shaw and Evans were their names. Still in prison as far as i know.
