Title: Serial Killer Fascination
Post by: DALExSNAIL on Tue, 06 June 2017, 08:45:29
Is anyone else here interested in serial killers?

I lived near the home town of a sort of little known but very prolific serial killer, Donald 'PeeWee' Gaskins, and the subject was talked about a lot in my area. Always sparked my interest to look into other killers, and it made my love for horror movies a little stronger.

I listen to a ton of podcasts about this stuff and watch all the documentaries I can find.

Not the best thing to be interested in, just wanted to see if there were any like minded people around here.

Recently watched a few documentaries on the art that serial killers make while in prison and send to people who write them. There's a man, whose name escapes me, that makes art and sends it to an art dealer who then sells the works and donates the money to a charity that helps families affected by the loss of loved ones due to killers. His stuff's actually really cool and I need to find it again.

I think serial killers are interesting but unless I happen to catch a documentary on TV I don't look into the subject too much.

I did really enjoy Dexter though, even though the show did start to decline after season 4.

I take it you've listened to Serial? I've been meaning to.

Also, will you post your manifesto here?

But really, killers are just damaged people. Not very interesting once you get past yer self-absorbed emo teenage years. Don't give a fuuuuuuu...

I hadn't even heard of it haha. Been Listening to Last Podcast on the Left, Curiosity Kills, and My Favorite Murder a lot.

I would never leave a Zev or a DL behind!

Well they're obviously all damaged people, but I still find it interesting. More interested in ****ed up things they do, and not their feelings or motivations lol.

I'll admit I've spent quite a bit of time reading about different killers throughout history, and while I wouldn't call it a fascination I do often wonder at what brought them to do what they did.

I do wonder what made them the people they became.
I'll admit that at the time I was reading about them I was fascinated by serial killers. I haven't really kept up with it in recent years.
This thread does make me want to re-watch some of the docs I've seen.
