I find deviant behavior fascinating in general. I watched "Helter Skelter" as a kid(my mom let me watch anything!) and it scared me so much! Its a great movie. I've read about people like Ed Gein, Jeffery Dahmer, John Wayne Gacy..its horrifying but fascinating how someones mind can work like that. With no remorse... I have this book and it talks about a doctors personal experiences with various serial killers.
Back in high school I did term papers on serial killers and mad men.. there was a documentary book and I loved this book it took you back to the 1700's and had all the stories of serial killers from back in the day.. I still love to read some of the new stories and what makes them tick...
Psychology in general is an interesting field, and serial killers are more interesting (though horrifying) than most people. I understand the fascination with them (and others who display “deviant” behavior).....it is our departures from normalcy that make us interesting and unique, define us as human rather than “sheep".
@KittyChanel I’ve never understood those who get pleasure from others failing. I enjoy success, but don’t feel I need to hurt anyone else to attain my own success.
I watched some crazy stuff as a kid too! Psycho when I was about 5..but I love scary movies and I watch documentaries about serial killers and creepy stuff all the time...lol
@JaggedLittlePill Psycho is great. Anthony Perkins is adorable. Didnt they do a remake? Yea with that guy that was in the Cell. Geez hollywood and their remakes.
@JaggedLittlePill Yea I just heard they are redoing Pet Semetary. It looked true to the story. Whyyyyy? But that and Cujo are two books I dislike by King. They are so sad and depressing. Maybe because animals suffer in it.
