The purpose of this thread will be to educate the community about both well know and not so well know Serial Killers/Monsters, I will start by naming Albert Fish, and attaching a web link with some info on my Serial Killer/Monster. Let us not limit ourselves to just American Monsters either, we have many members from all around the world, so lets see what (or whom) we can dig up shall we.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Fish. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Fish.)
Make me proud Ladies and Gentlemen. Oh, and to make it all the more intereesting, list one reason why you consider your example a monster. I.E. Albert Fish was both a child molester and a cannibal. Seems he liked young and tender meat.
-
I know of Fish. He was a kindly looking old man and went into lenght about the childrens butts.
My murderer is Jerry Brudos. He had a foot fetish and photographed his dead victims in poses and kept some in his garage with his wife completely unaware. He was also known as the lust killer. Look him up
-
hmm i will go with Ed Gein, that man would kill people then he would skin them and wear there skin over his, his furniture was made out of his victoms flesh

hmm i will go with Ed Gein, that man would kill people then he would skin them and wear there skin over his, his furniture was made out of his victoms flesh
I read about him last year:
Searching the house, authorities found:
* Four noses
* Bone fragments
* Nine death masks
* A bowl made from a skull
* Ten female heads with the tops sawed off
* Human skin covering several chair seats
* Pieces of salted genitalia in a box
* Skulls on his bedposts
* Organs in the refrigerator
* A pair of lips on a string,
Some neighborhood children, whom Gein occasionally babysat, had seen or heard of the shrivelled heads, which Gein offhandedly described as relics from the South Seas sent by a cousin who had served in World War II. Upon investigation, these turned out to be human facial skins, carefully peeled from cadavers and used by Gein as masks.
[...]
Shortly after his mother's death, Gein had decided he wanted a sex change. He created a "woman suit" so he could pretend to be a female.
Seems like a nice guy :-P
-
very lol, so you got any killers to add kube?
-
Let's see...
Ricardo Muńoz Ramírez, also known as Richard Ramírez or the Night Stalker.
He went on a killing spree from 1984 to '85.
His capture was ridiculously long... He covered 2 miles in 12 minutes on foot, then he tried to steal a car, but the owner threw him out, so he ran to the neighbor's house as she was getting in her car. He tried to steal it, but the same guy again threw him out. So a few other guys tried to catch him right after, one kept hitting him with a metal bar, but the guy kept running. Eventually he managed to swing at his head, but he kept running. In the end, one of the guys caught up and punched him and he collapsed.
-
WOW lol never heard of him before, hmm ima let others reply to this this is an interesting topic, i would have added vlad tepes but ed gein sounded better :-D

He's not kidding, Kadesh; John Wayne Gacy used to lure children to his home where he would do bad things to them, kill them, then bury them in the crawlspace under his house. There's more, and not just at that link either.
-
I didn't say he was kidding. Scary clowns are fine. It's the cheerful ones that creep me out. It's unnatural to be that cheerful all the time.
-
Yeah, thats the guy, thanks Muerte.
I dont like clowns and Ill tell ya why.
some clowns are just plain old people who like to make kids smile, and thats ok, but you know there has to be alot of them who are farkin pervs, like some of the old guys who play Santa.
Problem is ya dont know which is which.
if you ever turn on CNN and there are alot of clowns and santas dead, in the Teneesee area, old Ravin mighta fliped and you can add me to this list :-D

Countess Erszabet (elizabeth) Bathory a.k.a. The Blood Countess, she's near & dear to me.
thats a damn good one right there!!
What about old Vlad Tepes?
alot of people would call him a killer.......He was a damn hero I think, a Warior,.....mabey I should give some homework Muerte, there is more to old Vlad than most think.
-
Vlad is in fact a national hero. Yes he killed many people but you have to look at it from his century's point of view. He was defending his country & at that time fear was one of the most powerful weapons you could have & torture was accepted so putting people on stakes as a reminder to any transgressors is a good idea. The same was done in London with certain criminals heads/body parts on the city wall & London bridge as a warning to other criminals. Vlad also learned at an early age that he would have to fight for his rightful place & he learned well what tactics worked & intimidation/unwavering resolve were two he used regularly.
-
Your right Countess, I beleive he spent some time in a Turkish dungeon when he was young too, he probably learned about torture first hand, Its no wonder he was a little bit pissed off when he got out.

How about Jeffrey Dahmer?

While she was not a "Serial killer" she was considered by the majority of her time to be a monster, Lizzy Borden is an acceptable addition to the list, she was after all a "Monster".
-
Adolf Hitler, does he count?
-
Monster yes, serial killer no. Hitler is an intresting phsychological figure. He had so many delusions, paranoias, fetishes as well as an obvious narcissistic personality disorder. It's almost a shame he isn't around to be analyzed.
-
on the relly old side i would have to say the japanese during ww2 and wha they did to the chinese waaaayyy worse than what the germans dd im not going to elaborate on this the details re far oo horrific but that is a geat example of humans/monsters
-
Hmmm, no muffin, the Japanese were only as bad as the Germans. I would say that post-WWII America was worse. They gave safe haven to war criminals from the Axis of Evil in exchange for technology and knowledge. That, and that alone, is why we were able to become a superpower. So if you look at it in the proper context, American military and financial power is really built upon the backs of innocents who were murdered, maimed, and tortured in the name of science.
Kind of makes you appreciate that Big Mac you bought while driving around in your Cadillac and listening to Sirius or XM radio just a bit more doesn't it?

jack the ripper and the black dalia case! :lol:
-
Well Dahlia case wasnt a mass murdering. it was just one murder so idk if that counts
Jack the ripper yes he does count but.....
Where is your link ;)
lol
-
There have been some interesting programs on Jack the Ripper recently. One proposing a new suspect who to my mind, most closely fits the psychological, geographic, & physical profiles of the established facts. His name was Robert Mann & he was the mortuary attendant for at least 2 of the Ripper's victims. Physically he looks almost identical to witness reports, his mortuary was smack in the middle of the murders, & he was incarcerated in a mental asylum for a time during which he was found to have violent fantasies towards women. What really drives him home to me is the debate over whether Jack showed any surgical skill or not. Being an attendant he would have watched the medical examiner work so he would have some basic idea of what he was doing but watching someone perform an autopsy is quite diffrent from performing one yourself hence the debate over his skill level. Check into it, there are a number of articles about the theory, just google it.
AND I have an addition to the list The Sunday Slasher aka Coral Eugene Watts. First serial killer in the US to be eligable for early release due to good behavior.

i dont have one but i hope it does the murder was so grusome

Hows about David Berkowitz Son of Sam. . . infamous 1970's New York Serial killer, Harvey, the black dog, (i think it was a lab) told him to go out and kill women. later he said it wasn't really demons infesting dogs and other animals, he killed the girls because he had failures with women as a kid because he was ugly, and that he is not crazy.

Hillside stranglers (Angelo Buono and Kenneth Bianchi) of Califorina, their killings moved up the coast and they were finaly caught in my home town. I even know where one of them used to work while they lived in Bellingham too, they worked at the restaurant where my parents worked, and met. the location Is less than two blocks from my high School, only about four from my elementary school within 4our of Western Washington University.
From what she and a former barkeep there told me it just raised the hair on the back of their necks and made them very glag they hadn't accepted the casual enough offers of a ride home after shift.

I know but the actual boston strangler(s) was a serial killer. I didn't say it was Albert DeSalvo, per say, I only said the pseudonym for them(?)... I'm confusing myself here... I am pretty sure that Albert DeSalvo wasn't the actual Boston Strangler(s) but someone or some persons were and he/they did commit serial murders. That is the only reason why I named him/them.
Now that I've completely tied myself up in knots with that I'm going to watch some anime to untie myself. >_< cause I think I only confused myself more.
-
If that came out rude I'm sorry I didn't mean for it to sound like that... I just realized that I sounded like a B***h there, or maybe it's just in my head... <^>
-
It's ok, I just realized how *itchy/snobby mine sounded. It is still a fascinating case. Recently saw a few new programs about it mainly dealing with the DNA evidence that is now available for testing & new profiles of the killer(s) & scenes that were really intresting. Personally, I believe DeSalvo's cellmate was one of the actual killers & saw in DeSalvo the perfect scapegoat. Someone he could brag to about the crimes, relive them with, who would then take all the credit & ensueing convictions.
-
That's pretty much how I see along with Desalvo's almost crazy like memory it probably was like that. I think his cell mate was Nassar... I'm not all that great with names... Faces yes names not so much....
-
That's the name! I knew it was something like that but couldn't think of it & of course my internet was freaking out so I couldn't look it up. George Nassar.

In the future try not to correct me in my own thread and if you are going to try to correct somebody make certain you know for a fact that you are in the right. It just helps to keep others from pointing out any short comings you might feel obligated to demonstrate to others.

Now, I don't know if he's been listed but.... The Cross Country Killer Tommy Lynn Sells. Considered & ranked as one of the most evil living serial killers, a 22 on Stone's scale the highest level. His actual body count is unknown but by his own admission it was around 3-4/year for 20 some years. This would also make him the most prolific American serial killer beating out Gary Ridgeway (Green River) the current record holder at 48 confirmed by almost double.

Herman Webster Mudgett (1861 - 7 May 1896) was a 19th-century serial killer.
He was born in Gilmanton, New Hampshire, son of Levi Horton Mudgett and his wife, formerly Theodate Page Price. His early criminal career (mostly using the pseudonym Dr. H. H. Holmes) was based on fraud and forgery, including a cure for alcoholism, real estate scams, and a machine that made natural gas from water.
He managed to secure a Chicago pharmacy and the property attached to it (by defrauding the pharmacist), and built a row of three-story buildings on it. The bottom floor was shops, the top his personal office, and the middle floor a maze of over one hundred windowless rooms. He called it The Castle and opened it as a hotel for the World's Columbian Exposition in 1893.
Women checked in, but they didn't check out. Over a period of three years, Mudgett tortured his selected victims in soundproof and escapeproof chambers which were fitted with gas lines that permitted Mudgett to asphyxiate the women at any time. Once dead, their bodies went by chute to the basement, where they were either sold to medical schools or cremated.
He was discovered when a fire broke out in the building, revealing the carnage therein to the police and firemen, though he might have been caught eventually anyway, as he had taken out insurance policies on some of his victims before killing them.
The estimates placed the number of victims as between 20 to 100, including mostly women but some men and children; some estimates go as high as 200. Mudgett (as Holmes) was put on trial for murder, and confessed to 28 murders (in Chicago, Indianapolis and Toronto) and 6 attempted murders. He was hanged in 1896 in Philadelphia.
