Serial Killers

Post by Aokigahara »

Anyone know any good documenteries and/or dramatizations of serial killers? Not just horror movies mind you but based off of real killers. Thanks in advance.

99.99% of people say dexter is the best serial killer series ever made, so I'll say.. lemon
Early world exploit: Put your hearthfire inside a cave, then hold shift to position a claim right in front of a cave. After 8 hours the claim will be unbreakable. Since your hearthfire is inside the cave, you can still get back inside, and leave, but nobody will be able to enter, effectively making you unraidable for the first 3-7 days. Enjoy

Zodiac immediately comes to mind. Manson also has two movies: Manson and Helter Skelter. Copycat is a movie where the villain is mimicing the killing patterns for a number of notorious serial killers ranging from the Hillside Strangler to Bundy. I'm pretty sure Ted Bundy has to have a movie or documentary about him but I don't know about it.

Yeah, Just re-watched Zodiac a couple nights ago which got me wanting to watch more. I read the book Helter Skeltor (And God only knows how many other books about serial killers but I don't read as much as I used to unless it's on the computer. I have netfliz and of course utorrent so if it exists I can probably access it somehow, I never did see either of the movies about the Black Dahlia, maybe that next.....

While I like Dexter, and am sad it is in its final season, it is fictional.

Have you checked out Capote about Truman Capote and the writing of In Cold Blood?

Didn't I hear something about a documentary on BTK? I see some stuff on Google, but none of it is what I recall reading about a few years ago. (Being from where I am, I get to hear a LOT about BTK.)

Ed Gein would be a good one, or perhaps "Leonard and Charles" >:)

Do a little googlefu, and you shall see what I mean. There's some WICKED stuff there....I believe the police in one instance even brought back a teenager to the killer's apartment after he told them he was babysitting these kids... yikes.... creepy dudes, but hey, gotta have weirdos, right?? :D
