The Bender Family: The Bloody Benders

Operation: Family of serial killers (John Bender, his wife Kate, son John Jr. and daughter Kate) who lured victims into their Wayside Inn as “guests of honour”.
Method: One of the men would smash their victims’ skulls open with a hammer and then one of the women would cut their throats to make sure they were dead. This usually happened to wealthy types passing by Drum Creek, to the point where travellers began to avoid the trail.
What they up to now? All dead with their “artefacts" (hammers etc) eventually given to the Cherryvale Museum and still on display today. It is not as popular as Disneyland.



 
Ted Bundy: The Lady Killer

Operation: An American serial killer, rapist, kidnapper, and necrophile who forcibly abducted, raped, and murdered at least 30 young women, and possibly many more, in the states of Washington, Oregon, Utah, Idaho, Colorado, and Florida between 1974 and 1978.
Method: Superficially handsome, charming, and charismatic, like Chris Brown, Bundy used these qualities to full advantage
Quote: “What's one less person on the face of the earth, anyway?”
What they up to now? Electric chair at Raiford Prison in Starke, Florida in January, 1989.



 
Richard Trenton Chase: The Vampire of Sacramento

Operation: Pre-adulthood, Chase would hold oranges on his head, believing the Vitamin C would be absorbed by his brain via diffusion. He eventually killed six people in just one month in California, earning his nickname by drinking his victims’ blood and eating their flesh.
Method: He would shoot victims dead and then have sex with and mutilate their corpse. He did not wear a cape. Or have a Transylvanian lisp.
What they up to now? Committed suicide in prison using an overdose of prison doctor-prescribed antidepressants whilst awaiting the gas chamber.



 
Thierry Paulin: The Monster of Montmarte

Operation: A French serial killer active in the 1980s who preyed on the old and weak and lived lavishly on the proceeds of his murders.
Method: Suffocated in plastic bags, beaten to death, forced to drink drain cleaner – all the crimes were violent and nasty and motivated by robbery.
What they up to now? Body ravaged by AIDS, in a state of near-paralysis, suffering from both tuberculosis and meningitis, Paulin died during the night of April 16, 1989, in the hospital wing of Fresnes prison. A clear case of what-goes-around-comes-around.



 
     
Colin Ireland: The Gay Slayer

Operation: Decided to serially kill gay men as a New Year resolution in 1993.
Method:
Sought homosexuals in the well-known gay pub, The Colherne in West London, who enjoyed the passive role (they all wore colour-coded handkerchiefs) as they would initially believe his antics were a sexual game. Was also rumoured to be good at Monopoly.
What they up to now? Recently tried to convert to Islam in Wakefield prison because he likes the curries they get fed.



 
Dr. Thomas Cream: The Lambeth Poisoner

Operation: Claimed his first proven victims in the United States and the rest in England. Used poison. Funnily enough.
Method: Handy with chloroform and strychnine. Anything that caused agony and respiratory arrest was his bag. And probably in his bag.
Quote: "I am Jack The Ripper" On his deathbed, even though he was jailed during the killings. Bit of an idiot.
What they up to now? Executed after his attempts to frame others for his crimes brought him to the attention of London police.



 
Nannie Doss: The Giggling Granny

Operation: A serial killer responsible for the deaths of eleven people between the 1920s and 1954.
Method: Killed four husbands, two children, her two sisters, her mother, a grandson and a nephew with rank sweets (poison).
Quote: “Anyone fancy a Barley sugar?”
What they up to now? The state did not pursue the death penalty due to her being a “lady”. She died of leukemia in the hospital ward of the Oklahoma State Penitentiary in 1965.



 
David Berkowitz: The .44 Caliber Killer/Son of Sam

Operation: Terrorised New York City from July 1976 till his arrest in August 1977, with a .44 caliber.
Quirk: Satanic quilt who was commanded to kill by a demon who possessed his neighbor's dog.
Quote: "I didn't want to hurt them, I only wanted to kill them."
What they up to now? Currently serving a 365 year sentence at the Sullivan Correctional Facility in Fallsburg, New York. In 2002 he will be up for parole.



 
         
Alexander Pichushkin: The Chessboard Killer

Operation: Wanted to kill 64 people, the number of squares on a chessboard, primarily targeting elderly homeless men by luring them back to his apartment with vodka.
Method: After drinking with them, he would kill them (always from behind to avoid getting blood on his clothes) by hitting them on the head with a hammer. He then stuck vodka bottles in their skulls to ensure that they did not survive the ordeal. Not much fun down the pub then.
What they up to now? He was arrested on 15 June 2006, and convicted on 24 October 2007 of 48 (of 49) murders and three attempted murders. Was held in a glass cage during the trial.



 
Wayne Boden: The Vampire Rapist

Operation: A Canadian serial killer and rapist active between 1969 and 1971
Method: Earned the nickname "The Vampire Rapist" because he had the penchant of biting the breasts of his victims. Gobble gobble.
What they up to now? Began serving his sentence on February 16, 1972. Boden died at Kingston Regional Hospital on March 27, 2006 of skin cancer after being confined in the hospital for six weeks.
