If you enjoy movies based on real life incidents, here's some serial killers reenacted in movies:

“Monster” Aileen Carol Wuornos killed 7 men in Florida, executed in 2002.

“Citizen X” Russian mass murderer Andrei Romanovich Chikatilo killed 52 women and children in the Soviet Union executed 1994.

“Zodiac” Zodiac Killer, a Northern California killer in the 60s, never found, left taunting letters, claimed he murdered 37.

“Texas Chainsaw Massacre,” “Psycho” “Silence of the Lambs,” “The Strangers” “Ed Gein” Ed Gein in the 1940s and 1950s exumed bodies to use and killed women, died in prison mental hospital.

“Night Stalker” Richard Ramirez, convicted of 13 murders in the 1980s in California, on death row.

“Gacy," “To Catch a Killer” John Wayne Gacy, raped and murdered 33 boys and men in the 1970s, in 1994 he was executed. His brain was removed and examined and nothing unusual found.

  3. Not sure of his nickname but the book I read on him was called Deranged. His story is pretty disturbing. One of the most famous Xrays is of Albert fish and his scrotum area because he use to put pins inside himself. If you google albert fish xray it pops up.
