    Being a fan is obviously * up, but being really interested is really common I think. Some of the cases are as fascinating as they are horrible, it's extremely interesting to see what goes on in the minds of serial killers. Know plenty of normal people who have quite a keen interest in them, famous ones at least.

    Loads of serial killers are 'normal' people.

    Good stuff. I was really into watching documentaries on killers for a bit. Frightening with guys like Ted Bundy who seemed so normal. Jeffrey Darmer stuff was also interesting - must be horrible being family or friends of these victims and seeing stuff right enough.

    I ain't a fan of gacy:38:

    I liked the film To Catch A Killer which starred Brian Dennehy as Gacy.
    I like Dennehy and he played the part well.
    It was fascinating watching the film and how the Des Plaines Police Department went about finding the evidence to convict him.

    Didn't know the school ignored how they were viciously bullied.

    How do you know about Scott Dyleski? I have never heard of him until you mentioned it.

    I don't get why people are surprise that many serial killers seem normal.

    How does killing people stop you taking part in normal activities?
