There two different things.
A serial killer kills one person at the time, a mass murderer goes out on a killing spree and kills more people in one session.

Mass killer- going postal, killing 3 or more people in an area with little time interval
Spree killer- someone who kills 3 or more with time in between deaths, but related in cause
Serial killer:
no agreed upon definition
some definitions:
(1912) FBI: Serial Homicide is 3 or more separate events in 3 or more separate locations with an emotional cooling off period in between homicides
significant motivator is sexual
not pragmatic
(1984) Egger: significant role played by fantasy, intrinsic eternal need which is not by financial gain or pragmatic ends
(1997) Hickey:disregards motive, all offenders who through premeditation killed 3 or more victims over a period of days, weeks, months, years
no motive
(2003) Ferguson: 3 or more victims, killing of victims somehow pleasurable to the offender as it was consistent with the offenders internal set of values. The attacks did not fill only functional purposes

A serial killer will kill one or two people at a time.
A mass murderer kills many people at once.
