A Killer Collection

Those of you who know me are privy to my “dark side”. One aspect of which is my fascination with serial killers and true crime. I have read literally hundreds of books on those subjects. I think I enjoy it because it scares the living bejeezus out of me. How on Earth do these people justify the heinous crimes they commit? How do they sleep at night after doing such hideous things to another human being? Living just minutes away from the pig farm where Willy Pickton (allegedly) murdered and disposed of 15+ women from Vancouver’s downtown East Side has brought this kind of murder closer to home and stoked my interest even more. I bought the collection of DVD’s you see at left today at lunch. I’ve seen these movies before and they are too scary to pass up. One of these monsters, Ted Bundy, committed many of his crimes in Washington state just below BC. Driving through WA and seeing signs for the various places made notorious for Bundy’s actions gives me the creeps. The other two, the homosexual cannibal Jeffery Dahmer and Ed Gein, the inspiration for films like Psycho, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Silence of the Lambs are just as creepy. If I can find it, I’ll be picking up Gacy the newly released bio-pic of John Wayne Gacy.

I know it’s creepy, but I can’t help myself.
