Studying serial killers, biographical book on Ed Gein


Now he is one interesting study. Not many people know of him.


He got popular because of the movie, Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The movie was based on his butchering and his unusual furniture.


Let's not forget Psycho.


Oh, yeah! I always forget that one. Haha.

I've also been watching some documentaries about serial killer cannibals.


Worst casting ever though was when Kane Hodder played Gein a few years ago haha yeah let's get a guy that's well over 6 foot and built like a Mack truck to play him.

Studying serial killers, and of recent mass murderers...I sit in the corner of the library reading a biographical book on Ed Gein, Jeffrey Dahmer, or Dennis Rader.

One day I'll crack the code.


Have you read about The Butcher of Rostov? He was a peculiar read, though Dahmer was equally unusual. I have also read and watched documentaries about the predecessors of present day serial killers like Gilles de Rais and Countess Elizabeth Bathory, who made modern serial killers pale by comparison due to the numbers of their victims, simply because their status in life made it possible for them to continue for a long period of time.


I have read a little on The Butcher...My studies are mostly American because of the amount of freedom in the United States and the astronomical rates at which this country produces sociopathic murderers.

A lot more reading material in this country, a whole lot more...Not that I'm not familiar with overseas serial killers, I'm just a lot more familiar with national serial killers from Canada all the way to South America.
