They are therefore more studied and talked about. The smarter serial killers probably could have done more with their life if they channeled their intelligence for good. But, they were often unmotivated. Bundy reportedly had an IQ of but repeatedly dropped out of colleges and worked multiple minimum-wage jobs.
He was described as having a lack of ambition. He was so charismatic as a teen that he managed to get clearance for him and two classmates to visit the White House while on a high school field trip to Washington D. He was discharged from the army due to a drinking problem. Later, he was fired from his night shift job at a chocolate factory. Authorities believe that Dahmer killed 17 men and boys and Bundy killed 36 although police believe he may have killed around young women.
But, the American serial killer with the most confirmed kills and who evaded police for decades was someone with a reportedly IQ of just 82, which is considered on the low side: Gary Ridgway.
Like Ridgway though, the authorities believe he was a prolific killer. Though he was only convicted for one murder he has been linked to 18 and police believe it is possible he killed a total of 44 throughout Washington state, Oregon, and California within a time span of just one year, between and Due to his hatred of his mother, Cole strangled 13 women and may have killed up to 35 whom he felt acted or reminded him of his mother.
Regardless, he was manipulative and played the system to get what he wanted. While it was her husband who did the actual killings, she kidnaped, raped and assisted in the murders of nine women and one man, with some being as young as thirteen.
From to , he murdered eight women possibly up to He earned his nickname because he appeared on The Dating Game show in and actually won a date. He was top of his class in school, had many friends, enjoyed piano, and was part of the yearbook planning team.
Not all serial killers murdered their victims face to face, as Kaczynski mailed out bombs to his victims. His targets were mainly professors, and over the period of twenty years, his bombs injured twenty-three and killed three. Even at a young age, Kaczynsk was a genius, scoring on an IQ test in the fifth grade.
Skipping the sixth grade and his junior year, he was in the chess, biology, German, and mathematics clubs. When he was sixteen years old, he was accepted into Harvard on a scholarship. After graduating from there, he earned his Ph. D in mathematics from the University of Michigan and afterwards became a professor at the University of California Berkeley.

Misery remains one of the very best film adaptations of King's work almost entirely because of the unhinged performance Bates gives. Bates imbues her villain with an element of childlike innocence that, when paired with her violent tirades, creates a menacing force to be reckoned with. The less said about the infamous "hobbling" scene, the better. Smart and mean as hell, Wilkes is the fan every artist prays they don't have.
Though Wolf Creek was controversial and critically divisive when first released, the lead villain Mick Taylor was almost universally labeled as terrifying.
The reason Taylor is to be greatly feared by Australian backpackers is his prodigious ability to play dumb. When Taylor first appears in the Australian horror film , he is a warm and funny presence, which soon gives way to a complete flip of the switch as he becomes a vicious human hunter. John Jarratt's performance is as brilliant as it is unsettling.
Unrelenting in almost every way, the film is a brutal tete-a-tete between a soulless serial killer and a lawman who decides to take the killer on a torturous journey of revenge. Choi Min-sik's performance is truly chilling, one of the least merciful killers to ever be committed to screen.
Additionally, Jang Kyung-chul's battle of wits with the lawman reveals that the killer has a highly capable evil mind.
Hitchcock's masterpiece would likely not have been as effective as it was, and still is for that matter, without the unnerving work of Anthony Perkins as Norman Bates. Bates has become a bonafide icon of the genre due to his mix of social awkwardness, boyish charm, and absolutely freaky spells when he dresses as his dead mother and starts stabbing women in the shower.
Perkins makes Bates a nuanced and tragic figure that radiates an odd kind of likable chemistry that has yet to be replicated. Lars von Trier has been covertly making horror films for the last two decades. Though his films never strictly belong to a single genre, his latest film, The House That Jack Built , is the closest the provocateur has come to making a straight-up piece of horror.
