Haven't watched TV for over 12 years , but they are indeed fascinating , I remember back in 1989 the big circus surrounding his execution , and also , what motivated him to commit such vile crimes , he had his pick of very willing women ! Another one , the late , and unmissed pedo , child serial killer , Robert Black , died ( rightly ) in prison in Northern Ireland 2016 , he struck there ( latest conviction , Scotland ( where is was luckily arrested 1990 , before almost certainly killing another little girl , he snatched her and took her in his work van ... one of the arresting officers was her father !! ) & twice in England , found guilty of 4 confirmed murders , he remains suspected of killing more missing girls , including in Germany & Nederland , Black was a delivery driver. Black nearly took a now late 40's woman , in my home city , convicted of the attempted abduction too.
Yikes! That is a lot! Bundy really hated his mother. I am also convinced his grandfather is also his father. Which would explain why he never felt loved by her and why he was so effed up.
Yes agree , Both the above were f-ed , up , Black rejected by his own mother too , and later adopted. Both deserved to die in prison , Black ended up with basically a whole life sentence , at his main trial in NE England , he was convicted of the murder of 3 girls & the attempted abduction , eligible for parole aged 82 , the further life sentence in Northern Ireland , for another killing , extended this to 89. He dumped his victims hundreds of miles from where he abducted them
Rejection by your mother can be so damaging. Babies need to bond with their mothers in order to bond with other humans as they get older. Imagine if those poor children (the children, not the evil adults) had loving mothers. Probably never would have become serial killers.
I watch every documentary I can on serial killers. The psychology fascinates me.
Sammmmme!

What's Your Opinion? Sign Up Now!Nope I hate that stuff actually. I avoid it all now. There's too much gratuitous death as entertainment.
(But I get that docs about it, is about getting inside the creepy mind of one, and solving the mystery. A lot of people like that. Just not me. I'm not interested in f'd up people anymore.)
That is fair. And yes it is about solving the mystery
I was reading and watching documentaries about the Zodiac killer just a few weeks ago. The Zodiac still makes me feel uncomfortable.
That is a really fascinating one! His complicated cyphers and that he was never caught. But never say never because Dennis Rader and Joseph DeAngelo got caught.
Yes.
As for favourite I don't know, that's a really good question actually.
Ted Bundy is a good choice because you're right, the man seemed like a gorgeous angel and the methods behind which he would abduct the girls were also horrifying: Often posing as a physically handicapped man needing help or a church-going pastor offering to help and then quickly seizing an opportunity.
Zodiac Killer is easily the most fascinating just for the sheer fact that 50 years later we still have no face to put to the murderer and likely never will. Many a suspects, but nary a face. And modern investigators have seemed to agree on the theory that The Zodiac Killer should be in fact called The Zodiac Killers since it was probably a group rather than a lone individual.
The murder of James Bolger is easily the most fucked up to me just because it was a couple little boys who brutally tortured and murdered another little boy.
A lot of the things that Elizabeth Bathory did were absolutely fucked up, easily one of the most horrific and violently brutal women to have lived.
There are quite a few good ones.
Have you read about Baby Breanna Lopez or Junko Furtero (sp?) The cases you described are disturbing. The ones I listed…there are no words. Soul destroying, maybe. David Parker Ray, the Toybox Killer. To me he is the most depraved serial killer of them all.
I'm not that "Dark", but prefer the History channel, and the Modern Marvels, and the Machines that Built America and so on! Fascinating things, and some of these "great guys" were TOTAL ASSHOLES!!!
I do love crime shows but serial killers just don't do it for me. They're too attention seeking, I'd prefer to learn about the actual crazy people that try to cover up murders
I get that
I've read maybe too much, and on too many serial killers, and yes I've watched some documentaries... I would not say I have favorites, but they're all fascinating on their own and a disturbing way, but that doesn't mean I am fascinated by them.
Bizarre medical conditions not my thing... or, especially that show where people do travel to a tropical location and months later they're at the doctors with all kinds of parasite and conditions that just make me want to faint five times in a row.
Serial killers are fascinating in a morbid way
they sure can be, which is why I would read about them... till they got too close and all around me, lmao
I enjoy them. I think lots of people do.
Use to but it's become boring, same old patterns and same profiles... Might as well become a crime writer, I suppose.
Serial killers yes.
True crime yes
Medical conditions no.
Occasionally, but they mostly piss me off because serial killers are often pathetic rats who kill their victims sneakily without a fair fight, or target weak people like women and children, and I hate the fact that they're immortalized in fame. When it comes to killers, I prefer listening to stories about war heroes whose acts of valor often nearly bring a tear to my eye.
And not a serial killer, but my favorite song is about murderer and graverobber, Ed Gein. He inspired several horror films like Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Psycho, and Silence of the Lambs. He was raised by a crazy single-mother who would tell him that the only good people in the world was herself and her sons. She'd constantly read them bible verses in their free time. She and his brother would die early on in his life, him being suspected for his brother's death. He'd eventually begin gravedigging, and he'd use the corpses' skin and pieces to make household items, like masks, lampshades, bowls, a skinsuit, and more. The lyrics to the song are in my profile if you're curious... "Nothing to Gein."
I have been watching this youtube channel by a guy who calls himself "MrBallen." He goes over various anxiety inducing stories that range from serial killers to paranormal to intense accidental deaths and disappearances. It's the most entertained I've been in a while, I have to say. I'd recommend the "Top 3 places you shouldn't go and people went anyway" playlist. It fulfills a certain macabre morbid curiosity the same way serial killer stuff does.
Good comment. Thanks for sharing!
We watch them regularly
I don't have a favorite but Jeffery Damer and Karla Holmoka were the 2 the terrified me
I would get instant shivers whenever I locked eyes with Karla's dead black souless eyes
Karla Homolka is terrifying. More so than Dahmer to me. What she did to her sister…
The serial killer - Yes of course.
Those kind of stories always give you goosebumps. You can't get eyes from them...
@manthan_7 Yes exactly.
Serial killers yes.
So fascinating, right!
Really is
Is there one you find more fascinating than the rest?
I do not like to watch the serial killer shows. A few years ago I was on vacation and I was sitting outside on the deck and the TV was on and I was just listening to it and all of a sudden they describe a murder and I start to think it sounded like somebody I knew. We had no cable or any way to rewind it but when I got home I did some digging and my fears were confirmed. A girl I knew had been murdered.
I used to watch that Dr Pimple Popper show. It was so gross I could not turn away.
Ohhhh my goodness We watch Dr. Pimple Popper too!!!
it is so sick.
Yet so satisfying. 🤷🏻♀️ Do you watch the one about the nasty feet?
I like watching the old 60 minutes. A lot more does have been showing up on Netflix and HBO.
I do too!
Not really.
Any show that highlights evil and horror movies, especially movies that includes kids in the horror makes me angry and I want to hunt down the writers. It affects the kids psychologically for life. That angers me.
Yes. It is a truly awful thing. I agree. It is a morbid fascination really. And an inner fear it could happen to me.
It bothers me that people with that evil of an imagination are praised for their "artistry"
Ohhhhhhh helllll noooo.
I do!!! I love the old 90s forensic files shows like that too!!
All the time!!!
Ed Gein
Yup. He was foooked up
You are my kind of girl. We need to talk.
Samuel Little started serving three life sentences in 2014 after being found guilty of murdering three women in Southern California between 1987 and 1989. After his initial conviction, authorities found evidence that suggested he operated in over nine states.
In November 2018, Little confessed to over 90 murders, some going as far back as the '60s. Little was able to recall significant details about his victims, which authorities believe he picked up in 14 different states. Initially, investigators confirmed roughly 30 cases - seven of which were in Georgia. By October 2019, they were able to verify 50 of Little's confessions, making him the most prolific offender in history. Little died in prison on December 30, 2020, at age 80.
In February 2019, Little started to draw his victims for the FBI, who hoped to identify some of the missing women. He drew 16 in total, which you can access online. If you recognize any of the women in the drawings please contact the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI or submit a tip at tips. fbi. gov.
I have looked them up. Most were prostitutes. 😔
They were live human beings trying to get along in this world. He was still a serial killer.
They certainly were. Serial killers often target prostitutes because unfortunately they are often considered “less dead.”
