For the longest time, I've been absolutely fascinated with serial killers. I don't know how it started exactly, but they're always just so captivating. Their antics, their motives, their signatures... It's all so interesting to me. Why have they killed the people that they did? Are they classified as psychotic or sociopathic? What was their breaking point? I have so many questions, and I honestly believe that there's no answer that'll satisfy me.
I like reading and watching movies about serial killers as well. I haven't watched any of the Hannibal movies or TV shows yet, but I plan on doing so soon. I remember going through a Ted Bundy phase after I read up on what he did, and when I found the movie on Netflix I was... well. I can definitely see why all of those women would send him letters.
I mean, if it really came down to me being in the same room with a serial killer, then yes I'd be scared as all hell. I'm not gonna sit and study them, I'd be fighting for my life. But from a safe distance, where the serial killers are either deceased or not near me at all? Yes, I'll do that frequently.
Fictional serial killers, too. Just any serial killer, really. All of them are fascinating. Disgusting and morally wrong, yes, but fascinating.
