They say that he was gonna do a Dahmer, but he killed Helen´s assistant in a way that I don't recall reading about Dahmer killing anybody like that, and that is beating him up in alley and dumping him in a river. The only thing alike is that the victim was a gay man.
Gotta love Little Shop Of Horror!
you need to watch the scene again.he drugged his drink,suffocated him with a plastic bag,and decapitated his corpse with a hacksaw,all pretty dahmerish things to do.of course dahmer also did a lot of other things to his victims,and only at home,but for the copycat's purposes it was close enough.

Thank you, After reading his question your response was my thoughts exactly.
A kill of a Gay man, drugged, mutilation, etc. etc. Dahmer did alot sick stuff but to much to fit into one copy-cat killing.
Dahmer's goal was to create a sex slave, alive in body but not in mind. A willing and ready partner. To do this he tried several methods. Acid injection into the brain. Home-grown lobotomy with a drill and on and on. He cannibalised his victims as well, a unique way to cut down on your grocery bill.
To bad for Dahmer because no method proved successful and each would die from his attempt at modern day slavery. In my mind he was one of the most disturbed or serial killers at that is not an easy title to compete for.
Copycat did a straight forward Dahmer kill but over-all this a great film. I loved it when I first saw it in 95 and it has held up to the test of time.

You're right about Dahmer, what's almost as disturbing is if you watch the interview with him in prison which is up on YouTube the guy appears as normal as anyone you'll ever meet. He discusses his crimes in a sickeningly matter of fact casual way and weirdly enough he actually reminds me of someone I once knew as a teenager, mannerisms and appearance at least. He talks about how in his mind, by consuming the victim's genitalia (yes, you read correctly) he felt that they would be a part of him forever. He doesn't talk about his attempts to create a mindless sex slave via horrific experimentation but that's also been well documented, it inspired the events of the movie The Loved Ones where they drill into people's heads and pour acid into the hole. Man there's some sick people in the world, cannibals, paedophiles, sadists and serial killers...
