HALLOWEEN TOP 10: SERIAL KILLERS

I'm a bit too tired to update this late at night. Was supposed to do it when I got home from the office, but work was really hectic today and straight after we took off to Portland for the meeting with the computer science team from Portland State University, which also included a stop at Powell's Bookstore and a beer after that.

Anyhow... tonight's list will be none other than my top rating of the horror movie history's serial killers.

#10 - Mrs. Pamela Voorhees
Female neurotics. They just never give it a rest.

"You see, Jason was my son. And today is his birthday."

#9 -Dr. Hannicbal Lecter
I guess if you're hungry you don't give it a rest, either.


“A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.”

#8 - Elizabeth Bathory
I just love some good history. 

“The desciptions of torture that emerged during the trials were often based on herasay. The atocities described most consistently included: severe beatings over extended periods of time, often leading to death. Burning or mutilation of hands, sometimes also of faces and genitalia. Biting the flesh off the faces, ams and other bodily pats. Freezing to death. Sugery on victims, often fatal. Starving of victims. Sexual abuse.”

#7 - Freddy Krueger
Who doesn't like a stalker in a striped cardigan, black hat and knives for fingers?

"Why are you screaming? I haven't even cut you yet."

#6 - Michael Myers
What would Halloween be without him?

“I met him, fifteen years ago. I was told there was nothing left. No reason, no conscience, no understanding; even the most rudimentary sense of life or death, good or evil, right or wrong. I met this six-year-old child, with this blank, pale, emotionless face and, the blackest eyes... the devil's eyes. I spent eight years trying to reach him, and then another seven tying to keep him locked up because I realized what was living behind that boy's eyes was purely and simply... evil.”

#5 - Count Dracula
I have a thing for vampires. I also have a thing for gothic horror. And a little thing for Gary Oldman. Factors that make a good combination.

“I am the monster that breathing men would kill. I am Dracula.”

#4 - Sweeney Todd
The amazing Johnny Depp, accompanied by the fabulous Helena Bonham Carter (I <3 Bellatix LeStrange...) do a much more handsome interpretation of the tale than that almost-bald Ray Winstone.

"I can guarantee the closest shave you'll ever know" 

#3 - Jack the Ripper
The charm is in the classic murder tale- that no matter how many actors take on the part or historians publishing analysis in literature, it's still unsolved.

“It's catching isn't it, violence?” 

#2 - Patrick Bateman.
Imagine showering with him.

”You're a fucking ugly bitch. I want to stab you to death, and then play around with you blood.”













#1 - Baby Firefly
I'm sorry for being repetitive but there's just no escaping this one. She's my favorite. Period.

"Give me a B, give me an A, give me a B give me a Y. What's that spell? What's that spell? WHAT'S THAT SPELL?”
