Why do serial killers get tribute videos?

[InOne]

Sort of the topic on another thread, what is it about this 'sick' admiration?

[ILoveTRW]

Myra Hindley <------ Idol

[Christmas Dynasnow]

I could murder a bowl of Just Right

does that count me in?

[WOMBAI]

Weird people - like the stupid kind of women that write to murderers and somethimes marry them. Often these women - look exclusively for these type of men - because they have their own problems!

Get in there!!! Would help if you were into necrophilia also though ;)

[ChristmasNeeve]

Morbid curiosity, I would imagine, I hate those kind of things though

[Enid]

I'm fascinated by The Columbine Massacre, probably because they were just seemingly ordinary kids like me and you. They also liked KMFDM. :D

I think that's pretty much a large part of it. I remember reading that the american media sometimes inadvertedly glamourised certain killers so maybe that adds to it as well. I don't get the adoration myself, it's rather peculiar.

I can understand being interested on a psychological lovel since it must be fascinating to see why someone would act like that and see how they tick and such.

World War III, be all that you can be.

KMFDM and Doom. Two lads after my own heart.

Also I imagine if you are, like these two, hell bent misantrophists, someone like Hitler would be somewhat of a role model, hence the worship.

Also, killers are charismatic. Evil stuff can be charismatic. And stupid people can be duped into believing in it through sheer power of imagery. See : The Third Reich.

While on subject, Marilyn Manson got his name from Charles Manson and Marilyn Monroe, noting the dual celebrity status they held.

There is curiosity, but i'm talking about actual tributes to them. Like you would for Lennon and that

Yeah, I would be curious as to why that person is the way they he/she is alright

I have no idea about that, I just think its sick tbh

I guess the term 'charismatic killer' can show how shallow some people can be. I mean, women want to marry and do marry these people lol

Well, they can't be right in the head either though

Hmmmm true I guess lol

They have achieved a negative award. Many are negative in this world.

[Zippy]

Serial killers are all kinds of fascinating. I love documentaries about them.

Saddest one was that Pakistani guy who killed possibly hundreds of homeless boys. There was a shot of all their sandals piled up in his home! Just the most horrible sight.

[Ross]

Wow I just read the whole report on Columbine High School massacre. Really shocking stuff. I felt like crying reading it.

Bowling for Columbine is a gread film

I don't think of it as positive or negative, good or evil. In my eyes serial killers feed the natural chaos that festers within every human being; the animalist and anarchic qualities that we have all learned to control but still need some kind of outlet for. That's why the lives of serial killers will always hold such a fascination for us - they seem to have abandoned all normal civilized behaviour and walked down a path seldom tread by anyone. What they actually did - hideous, savage acts of violence - is irrelevent..... I think it's their descent into darkness that continually fascinates people.

Yeah, also makes me wonder why serial killers are so rare

Well we have artists and writers and people who wander off into the wilderness too, you know? So many examples of people who've raged against the machine, but none in such an extreme and horrific manner as serial killers.

Yeah indeed, well they live out their fantasies cos of the psychopathic nature. They don't have the breaks that stops normal people from thinking about it.

Exactly. And sure most artists and great writers were a little loopy too, but obviously not to the same extent. Anyone who pushes boundaries has to be a little bit on the edge.... that's why you see so many comedians/songwriters falling into the abyss with drink and drugs etc. Oh, and by the way, I'm not trying to make a connection here with artists and serial killers!! Serial killers didn't act in the way they did to better mankind in any way.

You have to admit Myra's and Ian's mugshots are iconic , Like it or not.

Not iconic just a reminder of how evil the human heart can turn out if starved of love in early life.

I read in a book about the whole case and Myra's after life (After crimes). In the book it said about the taking of the photo and she had clenched her jaws and gritting her teeth giving the iconic stare. Evil in one picture. If looks could kill...

[ILoveTRW]

she could of been a model
the legal system stole her life

Yep man they love it. And yeah she tried to escape and claimed she found god. Pure evil.

[Harry!]

She became lesbian behind the bars because she was in a all female unit. I reckon she could of got out if the legal system wasnt so harsh. Afterall it was Brady who did the killings more then Hindley.

I may sound odd being a 15 year old knowing about her but it is good to know and that book I read was quite interesting.

She was as bad really, she should have never been let out, you could hear her laughing in some of the tapes. She was as much of a sadist as Brady.

Pretty much, odd you find two sadists hooking up though, guess that is why the crimes were so horrific.

Worst of it all is. They still havn't found one of the children killed. And dobut they ever will.

Nope, I doubt Brady even cares or remembers where he is. Plus the moor will have changed soo much.

Ever seen Natural Born Killers? That was about the media's glorification of serial killers. Really good film.

[InOne]

Also, Texas Chainsaw massacre, Silence of the lambs are based on Ed Gein. Same with aload of others too. No matter what you see in the movies the truth is always more brutal.

Legal system, harsh, I dont think so, thats what should happen to sadistic multiple murderers. You honestly think she could be rehabilitated?

[Harry!]

I do feel that Ian did more worser then Myra. Though I may be bias as I know more about Myra then Ian. She is dead now anyway so that wont happen.

Myra was a pure Psychopath and sadist. She got off lightly, especially with her antics in prison.

She was pure evil. Look at her mugshot in this thread.

Do you remember when that infamous mugshot of hers was recreated with hand prints of children? The artist was called Marcus Harvery or something. Anyway, it had to be removed because some jerks decided to vandalise it. Art is art is art.

Yeah it's pretty random lol Guess there is only so much you can know about them as they are either dead or in jail. It's weird, there will never be anything like the main ones again, plus will all the cameras and DNA and that now.
