Serial Killers

Im fascinated as well...

Theres always a story behind them which makes them like five times more interesting.

:crazy: ^ I know what you mean! My friend has a book on serial killers, with their stories and everything. I love going to his a reading it. :XD

I'm always more fascinated by the serial killers born out of horrible mothers. Like Henry Lee Lucas, whose mother was the town prostitute and used to make him watch her have sex with her clients. While that is horrible, it's so damn interesting to know! I mean, people do that to their kids! That's just fascinating...

I'm really fascinated by them.
Like, their background, history, how their mind works.

They intrigue me a lot. Especially the more...sadistic ones.
For example, the Ed Gein story is absolutely horrid, but its just so damn interesting.

And even though it's fictional, I always love watching Criminal Minds and the insight it gives into the killer's head and whatnot.

Does it make me crazy to like stuff like this?
A lot of them I'd love to get to talk to, to get a peek inside their heads.
They don't even make me feel sick or anything. When I'm telling a friend about a History Channel special on a serial killer, for example, I'll tell her how he or she was so smart and planned everything out almost perfectly. And then she'll point something out, like "... you know he killed people for fun, right?" and I'll say "and?" because it honestly doesn't matter to me how big of a 'monster' the person is, I find the criminal psyche so intriguing.

Personally, both.
It`s fascinating to know how their mind works, and how they went about their plan.
It`s also horrible because it harms so much people.

They don't sicken me in the least bit.

Jack the Ripper is actually an obsession for me, I've read a few books on him and really, I am so fascinated.

Their insensitive to kill is intriguing, I think.

They simply facinate me.
They're so...I don't know, and that's the thing.
I don't know how I feel about them, I don't know whether they're sickening or just plain...weird.

I find them to be both intriguing and senseless monsters.

I find them to be intresting. I dont know much about seriel killers apart from stuff that I've seen on television but I think that to get inside the head of a seriel killer would be amazing.

I have to admit, I am fasinated with them, they amaze me for some reason, as sick as it is.

I'd love to know what goes through their minds

They fascinate me. I think it's more the way their minds work that fascinate me.

Like someone said as well, Jack The Ripper? Yea. He fascinates me so much. :cheese:
It's weird but yet so interesting.

I have to admit, they fascinate me, and nothing else. I’m not terrified of them, I just want to understand them. I love to see the people behind the monster and I’m frequently flamed for empathising with Jeffrey Dahmer. I just feel that most of them (the remorseful ones, anyway) are victims too. Like Jeffrey Dahmer could have been saved, in my opinion, if someone had reached out to him when they realised that he was fourteen-year-old alcoholic loner who collected roadkill to cut up. That’s not right. If his parents and teachers had taken notice, he probably wouldn’t have killed all those people.

Of course, I don’t know that for sure, but where I’m sitting (and I’ve read and watched practically everything) that’s what it boils down to. Other than that, the just fascinate me, because I do wonder what it would be like to kill someone, but I don’t have the balls to do it. They fascinate me because they have what it must take to say, “Right, I’m going to kill someone now.”

A lot of people think I idolise them, but I don’t. I just try to understand them.

^ Same here.
Almost every killer could be saved, I believe.
I don't think it's something you're born with, the ability to be a killer, I think it's something you become.

I think their minds are interesting but their actions are cruel. I'm fascinated by them.

I am interested by them, what goes through their minds, their personal backgrounds, I find certain one's more interesting than other's; for example I'm not that interested in the Manson case, because all the information is there and the man himself scares the living daylights out of me - considering he managed to talk people into joining his 'family' and then getting them to kill certain people...
Odd as it may seem certain one's that aren't overly known are kinda my faverourite ones; like Albert Fish, Sawney Bean.
I guess it is interesting to know what would make someone do that to another person, how do they see other people.

They fascinate me more than they actually sicken me.
The stories behind how they came to be are just intriguing and fascinating.
Also, most of them are like somewhat genuises somewhat gone out of hand.
Their nature and how their minds works are just... well, different.

They're really interesting, but disturbing at the same time. I don't like hearing so much about the action of their killings - what they did with their victims and so on - but making links from their respective childhoods or societal backgrounds is so... I don't know how to describe it. You can just try and make connections and in turn try to understand their minds, like some kind of riddle. You just want to know why they're different, why they're killers.

For anyone really into this kind of detective work, try reading In Cold Blood by Truman Capote. It's really shocking, reading about what these guys did to a family they didn't even know and without an apparent motive at all, and confronting, having to try and work it out yourself.
