Cameron Britten is a hell of an actor.

I was in Gville during that time. The guy(Manny Tabota) that was murdered was in my math class. I also delivered furniture to one of the girls(Christina something) apartment just prior to her murder. Everyone was scared shitless.

Charlie Manson

Spiteful mutants.

Dr. Edward Dutton aka the Jolly Heretic has some really interesting videos on the subject.

That story is highly disturbing.

Vasily Blokhin

Israel Keyes

They all scare me... and fascinate me at the same time. I read all of John Douglas' books when they came out, as well as some of books of his colleagues.

One can never really understand the "reasons" why these people do what they do. Why do they want to torture and kill people that have never done anything to them, probably never even seen them. They can do profiles on these guys and be spot on, interview them, write about them; but never really know them. People have and make choices to be evil or good... or just a regular guy.

I always think about the nephew of the wineville chicken coop killer Gordon Northcott. That kid was treated all kinds of horrible by his uncle, and then made to lure other boys to the uncle's vehicle to be taken to the ranch and killed.

That kid testified in court against his uncle to help convict him, and went on to become a husband, father and God-fearing upstanding and well loved member of his community. I'm sure the things that happened to him in his young life plagued him in some way until the day he died, but he chose to try to be a better person. If he had grown up to be antisocial in some way it would have been understandable.

What is it that made him turn out fine after all that, but someone else wouldn't? Strength of character? Happy neurotransmitters full of dopamine?

Then there is the other part of that story that they made a movie about, Changeling. It had Angelina Jolie in it. That was all kinds of fucked up too.

Holy shit

I am sure that fucked up feeling from hear that news lasted a long time.

Kemper, 6'9" and 300lbs, 145+ IQ. The whole decapitation and necrophilia angle is disturbing enough. Throw in the fact that he murdered his grandparents and his mother too.

Yup. Some of these guys were mental, or acting-out due to childhood trauma. But the Nightstalker was just fucking pure evil. Not that EVERY one of the people mentioned here aren't evil. But Ramirez bathed in evil.

I always have trouble not including Vlad Tepes, Elizabeth Bathory, and others of histor in these discussions. National hero and protector of Romania or not... the dude impaled thousands of women and children. And there's NO way Bathory doesn't qualify as a serial killer.

This is what Kemper's half-brother (he changed his name to not be associated with him) said about him:

‘I think he manipulates everyone. I think that he has never told anyone the truth about things he has done. I would suspect he is holding back a good 20 to 30 per cent of the truth about himself, his past, and how he thinks. ‘All I know is that he gets to live better there [prison] than most people on the streets. Free gym, free food, free housekeeping. Thanks to liberals, he has it good. ‘Personally, I hope he chokes. If he came around to my family, I’d shoot him on sight.’

And yes, the guy that played him in Mindhunter made the hair on my neck stand up.

You're just farting around, cutting your grass or whatever,  and *BAM!*

Kharn

I'm literally more scared of their accomplices who were not caught.

Speed

Could someone please call 911. I have ranch dressing on my ass.......

Tie between Gacy and Dahmer.

For me, it is the one that I don't know, but have a mental image of that I think of often.

Years back, when I was living in Orlando, I got a call at my manager's desk from my terrified mom.  She was out of it-- which is evidenced by her calling her son 650 miles away as opposed to my dad working 5 miles away.

Early that morning, my mom was jogging on a side road that runs parallel with the highway.  She watched a white panel van slow down on the highway and turn to get on the road behind her.  She kept jogging, but was concerned.  When she got to the end of the road where she would turn back, she decided to go to a neighbor's summer house (no one was there.)  She watched from behind the house.

The man stopped in front of the church cemetery, which was between where she was and her path back home, and opened the back of the van. He took out a bat and a coil of rope. He kept looking over towards her direction to see when she'd be coming back.   He casually waited, and even urinated once.

When he decided that she must have entered the house, he calmly put away his bat and coil of rope and got back on the highway headed the way he was originally headed.  My mother stated that what terrified her the most was how nonchalant he was-- like this was just another ordinary day for him.

Mom went back to her house by traveling through the woods and entering through the back door.  She was terrified that he was still in the area.

Being unable to do anything where I was, I told her to contact that state police in both MS and LA (we live on the line, and the van was traveling into LA.)  Mom also called the FBI field office.  According to an agent that followed up with my mother, 7 hours after her experience a woman was abducted on the TX border in a similar fashion that my mother described.  That time span would be able how long it would have taken for him to travel I-10.  I don't know if it was related, but I always feel that it was.

To my knowledge this guy was never caught.

He was described as about as generic as you can imagine:  ~40 years old, white male, short brown hair. Khaki slacks, white polo shirt, professional appearance.  

We live in a little town so small that it doesn't have a traffic light, but I'm certain that a traveling serial killer and/or rapist pass through here.

So out of your list, Dahmer, just from the fact he was a calm natured person, but secretly eating dudes.  Damn.

For me though, two others scare me more.  I grew up in Northeast Jersey, across the river from New York.  Son of Sam in the 70's, while not as gory as others, scared the fuck out of me as a kid.  You didnt know when or where he was going to strike next, and the whole area was pretty much on lock down.  

But as far as other serial killers go, Ed Gein has my vote.

How is Robert Pickton not on your list?

Yup

Who was the guy in the 19th century that ran a whole kidnapping and torture building somewhere in a big city?

The one that has dead hookers in his closet.

You are thinking H.H. Holmes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H._H._Holmes

Gacy -> Killer Clown! (I hate clowns)

That was my gut reaction and vote.
But truthfully, I have no desire to be anywhere in the vicinity of any of these or any other crazy killer.

Her and here like are the most horrific to me.
They feel morally superior for their killings and a large part of society feels the same.

Zodiac

So sorry to read that.
My condolences.

Joseph James DeAngelo. The Golden State Killer/The Original Night Stalker. He’d break into your house ahead of time and unload your pistol. Hide ropes under your couch cushions. Outran an FBI agent in a car - DeAngelo was on a bike. Vaulted fences, mapped out neighborhoods, snuck silently into your house at night. He’d rape your wife in the next room, while you were tied up with dishes stacked on your back so you couldn’t move without alarming him. Killed without hesitation when cornered or when he felt like it. Got away with it for forty years.

Dean Corll was maybe even worse, certainly more sadistic, but he only got away with it for as long as he did because the cops in his town were completely fucking incompetent. GSK was actually adept at his fucked up craft.

BTK ,dudes interviews are chilling.  Joseph Deangelo.  was next , he never would have been caught if it wasn’t for a genealogical test sights sharing info with LE.

None of these.  My vote goes to

David Parker Ray

I do not understand the desire/need to rank them. How is one any worse than the others?

Anyone at a level “22” is among the worst.

Those are the psychopathic torture murderers.  Torture is the primary motive of these crimes.

Motive.

Look up “Most Evil” and look at the scale.  It explains the differences.

I remember reading about him in the papers.  At that time in New Mexico that was like learning Jack the Ripper lived in Mayberry.

He was an especially sick bastard.
To take the time to set up a torture chamber and go through the trouble he did to conceal it takes time and effort.  Even guys who worked the case found his video tapes disturbing.

I knew if you saw this you were gonna say him.

I also was gonna say him.

and Planned Parenthood

People in law enforcement suffer a lot having to watch evidence like that, particularly if it involves children.  I've known more than one law enforcement officer who was permanently traumatized and had to seek professional help just having to witness crap like that.  One of them became dependent on meds IIRC.

Agreed.

I used to be in a facebook group with this guy. Sick bastard killed 8 people, they eventually caught him when they found a girl chained inside a conex box on his property in SC.

I don't doubt that one bit. I sure as fuck wouldn't want to be privy to some of that shit.

Came here to post this.

He would insert glass rods in his victim’s penis and then smash them.

Bittaker and Norris.

I don’t agree that Aileen wuornos was a serial killer.

She killed men because she hated them and believed she was killing them before they hurt women, because all men hurt women.  In her mind.

She never followed the cool down/ramp up period that sets serial killers apart from other killers.

The Butcher Baker.
