In this episode, I'm joined by Doctor Dingus and Malacor V, who are other oddity podcasters, and we have a conversation about serial killers. If you got a weak stomach or are influenced by disturbing things, then skip this episode. Listener beware. There is also a bazillion F-bombs, so to say this episode is explicit is an understatement. You've been warned.



What is it that fascinates people about serial killers? They seem to be a big part of the culture of countries worldwide, with their influence here in America being prominent in the entertainment industry as well. The media has even created celebrity monsters on several occasions by hyping them up in highly stylized and dramatized coverage that draws the attention of the masses.



Perhaps this is an echo of humanity’s macabre fascination with death from our more uncivilized past. Public executions used to be entertainment for entire communities, with almost all coming to attend and watching the horror playing out in awe. It was a form of entertainment that was casually accepted by everyone, with no sense of depravity found in the enjoyment of watching other humans suffer.



In any case, our fascination with serial killers reveals a darker nature hidden from our collective conscious minds. The serial killer is one of us. They are born from our society, and just like the homeless population, they are a mirror of the darker parts of human nature present in all cultures. People tend to think that they are separate from others, but we are much more the creations of the collective than most would care to admit.
