Favourite serial killer
Jump to: Newest in thread
Erm, this is like asking who admires serial killers. Usually when something is your favourite it means you like it. Why would you like a serial killer? Do you mean which serial killer is the most interesting? I get some people are interested in reading about crime and serial killers. |

I don't see why this isn't a welcome question.
It was only a matter of time.
Lots of murder programmes on t.v. now. You can watch mindless , gruesome back to back murder, night after night after night ......
Has NO effect on anyone at all.
I like Myra Hindley myself. |

The zodiac killer.
It's an interesting case. He taunted the police with cyphers, only one was definitely solved (I believe) and the identity is still unknown. |

Women serial killers are always interesting.
I do admit to having a bit of a Brady fixation at one point.
Weirdly enough one of my close friends is brother of one of the victimes. We don't often speak of B&H though. |

"Fun fact - Peter Sutcliffe (the Yorkshire Ripper) was in an episode of the gameshow 3-2-1, but failed to win a Dusty Bin."
There was a serial killer on the American version of Blind Date. The woman picked him but she later pulled out of the date after thinking he seemed rather odd. |

Ooh, yes - I think I saw this on TV the other day. It was really quite disturbing. |

Zodiac looked fine last time I saw her on Gladiators. |

I have some vague recollection of a tabloid story years back - I think it was when the Fred and Rosemary West story was news - where they did a breakdown on top ten weirdo serial killers or something.
There was one dude who was bumping off old ladies, hiding them in the basement, and then of an evening - as you do - he'd drag their corpses up to the living room (a misnomer if ever there was one) So that they could watch tv with him.

Charles French.
He was sent to the electric chair in America, apparently he didn't say much or seem emotional as they shaved his head and strapped him in. Then when the executioner asked him if he had anything to say, any last words he wanted to be remembered by he simply responded:
"French fries."

He only killed two people though and one was in prison because he wanted to be put to death but didn't have the bottle to kill himself. |

I can't say I like them, but I do find them interesting.
I suppose the ones who stand out the most are those who break the mould so to speak, who find new ways to wreak havoc. The ones I struggle to watch documentaries about are the ones involving children.
If jigsaw was real that motherfucker would be the stuff nightmares really are made of.

Why the fuck is this still here?
I have read some very alarming stuff on Fab today
What the fuck people?
Why are you buying into this?
And replying like bloody sheep?
What rules have been broken? People discuss serial killers all the time. There are hundreds of TV programmes, even films made about them.
Ok, maybe the word favourite was a bit odd but the macabre has always drawn interest. Prole seeking to find out what happened and why.
It's not that unusual a topic.
A bit "odd?"
Lord have mercy!! Really?"
You don't have to be offended at everything. You can have a night off from time to time. |

It's not about being offended.
People above have posted who their "favourite" real life serial killer is. I find that odd at best and disturbing at worst.
Replace the words "serial killer" with mass murderer or r#pist murderer and it doesn't sound quite as cool or edgy does it?
But hey, if that's what you want to hold your hand up and say that's what you're into... |

probably yes but as when i watched a programme about drug lords i still kept it in mind that they were basically vermin preying on people..
i don't tend to have favourites of that type of person, is it the fashion now days..

I believe the original post was meant as in fictional characters.
I don't think those who spoke of real people meant it as if they really had a favourite, rather that they said those who stood out to them, who's atrocticites etched in their memory. |

"

In all honesty I'm with Sappy on this one - whilst I understand the whole macabre interest thing - describing someone who has butchered children, or taken advantage of the vulnerable to then kill them for pleasure as "favourite", somehow giving them an air of celebrity is pretty offensive in my book.
Yes study them, yes take an interest in understanding them and what drove them to it - but "favourite"?
I also "get" that the idea was for fictional characters to be named - but given the first response was Rosemary West is pretty sickening really!!
Is it really any different from if someone had started a thread asking for favourite paedophiles which would have been rightly and roundly condemned? |

I guess it's about interpretation of the word favourite really. For me it dudnt read as someone they idolised, more someone whose story gripped them.
Serial killers are massively interesting to many people in many fields in n any different ways. People become fascinated with their motives, their history, their actions and their behaviours.
Psychologists, criminologists, forensic police, professors.... All people who devote entire careers on perhaps just one serial killer. Simplistically they will be their 'favourite'. They consume their professional lives.
As with many subject matters you will get 'hobbyists', keen amateurs alongside the professionals who become enthralled in the macabre actions of serial killers.
That's how I took this thread. I find it more disturbing that others felt it was idolising. |

Yet almost all of the serious replies have said they were interesting cases, not necessarily favourite ones. |

There and to the left a bit |
Favourite: a person or thing that is preferred to all others of the same kind or is especially well liked.
You can dress it up in semantics of intent all you like but describing someone who kills multiple times for pleasure as "favourite" as in "preferred or especially well liked" is still somewhat unsavoury in my book.
Like I said upthread, I can understand an interest in a subject but according a level of celebrity to it just isn't right and as was said upthread the choice of wording of the OP is more than a little "odd" - especially given the multiple emojis and some of his previous threads (including the borderline racist one yesterday!!) |

Why? Did he smoke them.
I’ve seen Brady a few times, full of self importance and thought he was a celebrity, tiny little shadow of a man towards the end. I’m glad they disposed of his ashes secretly at sea rather than grant his wish of being scattered on the moors. Sick bastard. |

"I think my favourite serial killer has got to be Ghengis Khan - such panache
More of a mass murderer I'd say, not that I'm an expert "
If working from historical evidence in the film ghengis khan is brother had betrayed him or similar so for that crime he had him either put in or his brother did it himself fall into a boiling cauldron of water in front of his very eyes..no love lost there.. |

"I read somewhere once that of male serial killers have a extra y chromosome
Nearly all of them suffered abusive childhoods x"
I think it's a combination of abusive childhoods and genetics. I watched a programme about it. Plenty of people have abusive childhoods but don't go on to murder multiple people. There was this guy on the programme who was diagnosed a psychopath as he lacked empathy for others but he said he had a wonderful childhood so never killed anybody. Had he had a terrible childhood then who knows what he would have done. |

Yeah I think it has a lot to do with your nature and your chain of thought and when suffered from abuse it's how your brain reacts to it. Some become introverted some depressed and some become evil. It just makes me wonder if they weren't abused and had a normal childhood they would probably grow into normal adults. Shame really x |

I watched something similar which showed that perpetrators of violent crime after had experience trauma, either in birth or from a subsequent injury, to the frontal cortex of the brain and that was linked to them offending.
Very interesting topic... Perhaps the OP was a little clumsy with the title and question but we are adults and the thread title kind of gives away the content so easily skipped by the fainthearted. |

If you count planning on measuring and installing metal bars on ALL the windows and doors after watching an episode, as NO effect, then I agree.
Those that befriend and you casually invited into your home TERRIFYING.
The others you may see coming
Dacy the clown ?
When I heard that he captured three boys and made them watch as he tortured and killed each in turn.
I'll be measuring again in the morning ! |

Agreed. The title wasn't well thought out, but I feel that the vast vast majority of those who have responded here have written about the person who has intrigued them the most. |

My use of the word idolise was out of context, that some contributors have stated their favourite serial killer is a real one with real victims is perhaps more for those enthusiasts of such fictional crimes to look at..
I find it as sick an idea as those who would try and take photo's when we were cutting casualties with life threatening injuries out of cars etc..
Hey ho.. |

It's a strange one isn't it. If I said that bloke out of Lost Prophets was my favourite paedophile, people would have been down on me like a ton of bricks. Yet, horrendous though his crimes were, he'd didn't kill anyone.

"My use of the word idolise was out of context, that some contributors have stated their favourite serial killer is a real one with real victims is perhaps more for those enthusiasts of such fictional crimes to look at..
I find it as sick an idea as those who would try and take photo's when we were cutting casualties with life threatening injuries out of cars etc..
Hey ho..
It's a strange one isn't it. If I said that bloke out of Lost Prophets was my favourite paedophile, people would have been down on me like a ton of bricks. Yet, horrendous though his crimes were, he'd didn't kill anyone.

"Jack the Ripper fascinates me, the fact it's still an unsolved case after all this time makes me want to know more "
It's not unsolved. You just can't read the file... |

OK the wording of the OP wasn't the greatest but the replies were more about killers that intrigued people.
If you find it offensive avoid the thread rather than post sweary posts and attack people because they answered.
Also can people please stop calling others trolls on threads just because you don't like what they said. |

"John Wayne Gracy - the killer clown.
Forget his name but he studied the brain and tried to make sex zombies by destroying parts of his victims brains with acid whilst keeping them alive"
That was Dahmer with the brain studies. |

"Amazing that some of you discuss evil fuck wits as you would your favorite biscuits  "
Whilst I like Jack the Ripper, he doesn't compare to a pack of chocolate hobnobs!! |

Its a bit strange that an evil maniac who literally tore women to pieces is now some sort of jolly tourist attraction.
Will Gloucester City council do Fred West tours in a hundred years time? |

"Am I the only person who finds this thread a tad inappropriate?
Na..
although it will be maybe tomorrow when someone post who their favourite arsonist or child abuser is..
suspect that my favourite abusive partner is not that far away either..
Now you're just being ridiculous
and discussing whom ones favourite serial killer is not?
not 'notorious' but favourite..
most serial killers have butchered women, idolising such behaviours looks for some to be acceptable but is beyond me but hey crack on.. "
Let's do one on whiney couples then, who like to shield themselves, from the real world.
If these people keep complaining others may think you have something to hide.
Sticking to the topic...
Mines also J Ripper. He's a popular choice

"I have some vague recollection of a tabloid story years back - I think it was when the Fred and Rosemary West story was news - where they did a breakdown on top ten weirdo serial killers or something.
There was one dude who was bumping off old ladies, hiding them in the basement, and then of an evening - as you do - he'd drag their corpses up to the living room (a misnomer if ever there was one) So that they could watch tv with him.
"
that sounds like 'ed gein.

"Edmund Kemper was rather sick. The things he did to his mother after killing her...  "
I was going to say Edmund Kemper. He was a different level of evil. |

Care to clarify..
Is it the norm now as with fake news to attempt albeit pathetically to disparage the person, perhaps to them justify something a bit sick..
The line between curiosity, fascination and favourite is clear yes although niche in the former perhaps..
Having a favourite living or dead serial killer is what exactly?
What is it about one that makes them more popular with others, is your own that he only slaughtered women he thought were lower than say his wife, sister..
Do you prefer his methods to some of the others..
As for the something to hide, give your head a wobble please.. |

He's not a serial killer but Richard kuklinski is a special kind of evil. If you've never heard of him go watch the iceman diaries on you tube. The way he talks about murder is chilling. The guy is a fuckin monster |
