Ed Gaine and David Berkowitz were some crazy dudes! I don't admire them, I just find their stories interesting in the way that I wonder what made them tick...what was going on in their heads???

Im the same and ive always thought it was weird to be interested in them so ive never told anyone that i google them sometimes. Its not that i am interested in what they do, just why they do it .. i dont have a favorite but i Ivan Milat interests me as do a lot of the US ones. I used to study criminology at uni as well which was interesting.

Ed Gein is my favorite of all of them. I happen to like the fact that Charles Manson is always considered a Serial Killer but just had so much power to make others do his dirty work. I once took a Psych class that was all about serial killers, and it was the most fascinating education I ever had.
A good fictional serial killer is "Dexter". If you get Showtime I highly recommend the show. Season 2 starts tonight.

Ted Bundy hands down - a charismatic and handsome guy driven to madness, and even got married inside his prison cell, despite his rep. His daughter's identity after his death has been hidden of course for obvious reasons
Pogo the Clown (John Wayne Gaycy) comes in second - dresses as a clown to entertain guests and friends and children but is a closet king and has a thing for young boys of which their remains were found at his basement and a few by the river
and hauntingly, they are both man of the faith-one is a rep from the jaycees and some religious brotherhood or affiliation.

I would have to say Jack the Ripper because he was intriguing back in the day and time and knew who to victimize by victimizing prostitutes he was trying to get the city to a clean state. I would say the most terrifying was the iceman, he would do so many horrible things to his victims that you couldn't believe. He was hired by mafia people and was really good at killing and disposing of these people that had it in for the mafia. He began by killing homeless people, as a test to see what exactly he could get away with, then once hired by the mafia carried on killing. He actually cut the invertebrate out of one of his victims so he was paralyzed from the waist down then proceeded one by one to slowly and painfully cut off his fingers and toes and limb by limb. The guy couldn't scream this was done in a storage unit but he still managed to have a wife and two children. He was very sick and every time I think of him I feel like I am going to throw up.

Ted Bundy or John Wayne Gacy, because they led such normal looking lives on the outside (Gacy even more than Bundy) but were serial killers!! I mean, if you met them you would probably think they were normal people until you got alone with them because alot of people did. I remember reading a book that Ann Rule wrote (she writes true crime books) about how she had worked on a suicide hotline with Ted Bundy and thought what an intelligent and nice man he was and it wasn't until later that she found out what he was really like......and her background included being a policewoman!!!

I don't have a "favorite", but after studying and doing research on many serial killers, Ed Gein is definitely one that is intriguing to me.

Ted Bundy. I have always been amazed how he could look very normal in his daily life, yet be such a sick killer, at the same time. Plus, every one who talked to him say that he had a way of making you like him, that was his secret weapon.

Ted Bundy because his victims were women would be more terrifying. Yet I think Jeffrey Dalmer was sicker, and far more torturing. I think the innocent victim being kept alive for extended periods of time to be tortured is sooooo unsettling.

No favorite but I am interested in Jack the ripper and wonder if he was really a doctor like some believe he was, and also wonder what drove him to only murder the ladies.
