I think that we are all somewhat curious about what is potentially inside of us. We are often more curious about the dark than the light. We all get angry, we all feel like we want to kill someone sometimes but most of us have a firm line. There is always that what if though, what if we didn't have that line. Looking at the best and worst of people is just looking at ourselves and the extremes of what we could be.
As for why there aren't as many prominent serial killers anymore, it is harder to get away with it long enough to kill multiples of people over a long time. Forensic science is far better, we have international databases, we have CCTV, etc. Plus people are far more aware than they used to be. There aren't as many trusting naive hitchikers about.

@DarkSideoftheMoon I think I've read about pretty much all of the well known ones too. I find human psychology interesting, particularly in those who become the best at something even if that's the best at being the worst.

@SW-User we only know about the ones who are caught. There are probably many killing today, below the radar. Just look at the reports of doctors and nurses who kill.
