hey! just wanted to ask whether anyone remembers the seriel killers Helen mentions, when telling MJ that Peter was probably abused in some way by his mother. I remember she mentioned something about someone being locked in the basement when he hit puberty....anyone kno who this was? was it Kempler....coz im sure it was Macy....
Hello suganspice70, I don't remember Hellem mantion this names in the movie. She mentioned Kemper and no Kempler. Anywhay I'm not sure too. You can find the script in this site www.imsdb.com/scripts/Copycat.html it will help you.
Yeah I remember most of them I think - the movie was on BBC3 this evening.
Edmund Emil Kemper - The Co-ed Butcher - paranoid schizophrenia and a near-genius IQ. When asked "What do you think when you see a pretty girl walking down the street?" he answered, "One side of me says, 'I'd like to talk to her, date her. The other side of me says, 'I wonder how her head would look on a stick?" Cannibalistic traits
John Wayne Gacy (1978 admitted to killing about 30 and burying them beneath his house.
Joel Rifkin - The Gardener, felt sexually rejected, and so strangled 17 prostitutes after sex.
Jeffrey Dahmer - the Milwaukee Cannibal. Homosexual serial killer. Killed 17 men. Also dabbled in necrophilia.
Wayne Williams - Responsible for the 27 Atlanta Child Murders.
Richard Ramirez - "Night Stalker" rapist and murderer of at least 14. Also a devil worshipper.
Albert DeSalvo - The Boston Strangler
Kenneth Bianchi and Angelo Buono - "The Hillside Stranglers" - These cousins murdered 14 prostitutes by masquerading as policemen.
David Berkowitz 'Son of Sam' a paranoid schizophrenic who killed six under the instruction of the devil, 'Sam'.
Ted Bundy - the worst! A depraved serial killer, sociopath. Official count: 36, more likely 100. Electric Chair in 1989.
Lastly the copycat killer refers to himself as Peter Kurten - "The Dusseldorf Vampire". He killed by strangulation & bludgeoning mainly for sexual pleasure but not always, and so some of his 10+ victims were male. He was given a death sentence which was carried out in 1931 by guillotine.
The Zodiac Killer, 1960's and 1970,s. I believe the San Bernadino (SP?)area in California. I don't think he was ever caught. A couple of different people said they thought it was their dad and there were a few who "confessed" to being the Zodiac Killer.
