    Know what's the worst part is? All of them end up caught because they made a mistake and let a victim escape, how many of those monsters never made a mistake and were able to kill freely their whole lifes? What we know is awful, but what we don't know is the real scary thing.

      Gacy didn’t let a victim escape.
      Dahmer did, he literally wanted to get caught. if he didn’t he would’ve went and chased the man down. he was a truly sick individual that i feel bad for.
      Gacy was a psychopathic narcissist that deserved death.

      True… It is kind of sad since back then the police force was not as developed as it is now… Now a days they keep information about fingerprints and blood types. Especially once you have a record, they even get shoe sizes. It would be extremely hard for any of these killers to have survived our current technological era… Especially with the sensitisation of CCTVs

      It doesn't say anything about how infamous they are, just the most terrifying. I think someone who raped, murdered, then continued having sex with their corpses until putrefaction made it impossible to continue, and in some cases kept their heads that he talked to would make Bundy somewhat worth adding to the list? And Fred and Rose are extremely infamous here in the UK. If anything, they're even more well known than Bundy is.

      I don't know who Pedro is though, although Albert and Harold are probably the most scarist on that list currently for me. Albert for how centered he was and his outlook being such a gentleman, yet had this dark desire for human meat. Whilst Harold was in a position of care yet abused that power so swiftly and easily looked over.
      Other than that, I know the West's are pretty scary but the Moors Murders (Ian Brady and Myra Hindley ) I think would be noteworthy enough to be on this list too, especially at the time where you had week after week another body of some tortured kid. Gruesome stuff.

      I read a book about Holmes a little while ago, H. H. Holmes: The True History of the White City Devil by Adam Selzer. From his research, the murder castle was complete fiction. If I remember correctly, the building was still in construction during the World's Fair & there were no torture rooms or anything like that. And in his confessions before he was executed, he admitted to killing folks that were definitely still alive at the time or completely made up. He still did kill some people, but it was mostly for insurance money it seems. So his real count is around 10 instead of like 200 (or whatever folks have been estimating over the years).

      There's a book about him and bunch of other murderers that I read years ago titled "Cannibal Killers" by Robert Keller, which did a great job of telling the story of "The Gray Man" from his Staten Island kidnapping and subsequent murder of a little boy to Grace... How he wanted her brother but realized that the brother, who was 17 or 18 at the time, would be stronger than him so he targeted Grace... And what he did and how he was caught. It's interesting and well written when it comes to Fish's crime and just how his disgusting letter to Grace's parents eventually led police to nab him... He's definitely one of the most sadistic killers out there. Scary what some people are capable of.... If you like things like this, I highly recommend the book

    In 2006, more than dozen kids belonging to the lower class of the rather posh society of Noida, India started disappearing. The police didn’t give a flying fuck, since most of these kids were children of daily labourers, house helps, barbers, etc and they believed the kids simply ran off to the greener pastures of nearby New Delhi. This went on for about two years until one of the victims’ father decided that he wasn’t having any of that BS. The man went around the area looking for evidence and discovered that his daughter disappeared around the water tank behind House D5, Sector 31, eventually learning that most of the other kids too had last been seen around that area. He then had to go to the court since the police still weren’t helping even though he had practically carried around an entire investigation on his own and gathered some concrete evidence and witnesses.
    Now this apartment was owned by a hot shot, Moninder Singh, based out of Punjab who would visit this house once in a while, bring whores over for some fun and leave the next day. His house help, Surinder Koli, had the entire house for most days of the month to his complete disposal, this guy had no record of crime. Had a fully functioning family back home in Northern part of India. Was known to be a decent man and was hired by the big shot for such. His earlier bosses could only sing his praises.
    When the police actually began their investigation nothing incriminating was to be found in the premises of his apartment but those family members decided to look into the drain behind the house. 19 skulls were found, of which 18 were minors. Koli subsequently confessed during the investigation that he would lure kids promising them candy etc. before murdering them, chopping their bodies off and disposing them in polythene bags onto the drain behind his house. He also had sex with his dead victims and also ate some of their body parts.
    He was to be hanged way back in 2014 but somehow still lives till date thanks to our judicial system.

    Larry Gene Bell. When John Douglas released Mindhunter (the book on which the Netflix series was based), I wanted to do that for a living. I wanted to catch serial killers. I had read a ton of books about serial killers and their stories. This book changed my mind. So Larry Gene Bell forced 17-year-old Shari Faye Smith to write her last will and testament. In his book, John Douglas included her will, but he had an actual photocopy of it. He didn't just have it typed in the pages of the book. So you read this note from a young girl written in pen with teenage calligraphy, and at the top of the letter, she put a little arrow pointing to the words "closed casket." It made me sick. I put the book down and knew I could never do that for a living. Shari Faye Smith was no longer a name on a page for me. She was someone's daughter and sister. It took that small detail to make me re-evaluate everything I had known about these killers.

    It seems that all these fascinations with serial killers have begin to emerge again after years of being put at the sidelines. I remember the subject reached its peak back in the 90s when the media was overwhelmed with movies and TV shows about serial killers. Even the news and entertainment show like ET acknowledged the fact that people were obsessed with serial killers. Then the subject sort of faded away. And now, it seems like serial killers take precedent in the media again recently with Netflix showcasing documentaries and shows like Ted Bundy, Son of Sam and notably, the Dahmer miniseries.
    And as a Singaporean, most people today would not imagine that Singapore too had two infamous cases of serial killers as well. They were the Adrian Lim child killing back in 1981 and the John Martin Scripps in the 90s. Lim would entice children to his apartment and kill them by means of torture and electrocuting them. And along with his wife and mistress, they would drink their blood at midnight for reasons of sacrificing them to the Hindu goddess, Kali. Scripps, on the other hand, would lure victims and literally butcher them.

Not that like serial killers is where we really need to start when looking to solve issues of diversity but just about everywhere has had at least a few so of course there are going to be awful ones internationally, they weren't all from the US. There's a line in a dark Canadian comedy where this serial killer character tells the protagonist that he wants to be a serial killer because there's too much focus on the Californian ones and not enough representation of Canadians, something like that. It's a silly little line but also definitely true, and even more so when applied to places like Singapore.

    Most disturbing? These guys had higher numbers, but for "most disturbing," you'd have to include Lake/Ng, Kemper, Speck, Holmes, etc. Speck may have technically been a "spree killer," but to this day that video he made in prison is probably the most disturbing thing I've ever seen.

    I just started this video but I used to listen to serial killer podcasts and for me as a women the toolbox killers will always be the scariest. Albert Fish is another one that really freaked me out.

    Terry Rasmussen. It’s what we DON’T know that’s chilling. Guy left a trail of murdered woman and children all over the US and we have no idea how many there are or WHERE they are. Took it all to his grave.

    Andrei Chikatilo. Soviet era Russian killer with over 50 victims. Largely young girls. Got sexual arousal from the act of killing. Looked like a kindly older man so people trusted him when he approached his victims. I always found him to be the most terrifying.
