They seem to have caught whatever disease white people have because there have been several black serial killers. LOL Best sentence ever!

No, but I wouldn't mind the emergence of a serial-killer. It's getting really crowded here where I live.

I'm not aware of any searches for a serial killer, now. But, the Bay Area lived through the infamous "Zodiac," whose identity has yet to be positively identified ... although, there are a handful of "possibles." And, as far as I know, they're all dead. So, I don't know if we'll ever be absolutely sure.
Richard Ramirez, aka "The Night Stalker," divided his time and efforts, between here, and southern California.

I live in the Pacific Northwest, the land of serial killers. Same here. In fact I live in the area where Bundy and Ridgeway preyed on their victims Excellent. You can regale unsuspecting strangers how you survived being in the midst of serial killers. *Also, don't forget about the I-5 serial killer.

Not now, but I did about two decades ago. Lived in the same area where most of the crimes were committed, travelled the same routes the killers took to where their victims were hidden, even attended a part at a house next to where the bodies were later stored. Snowtown? (actually, I read people from Snowtown get annoyed about the murders associated with it, as its only connection to the killings was maybe 1 victim came from the town; the murders occurred elsewhere.)

We probably all do. The cops don't advertise it and some killers travel. I found out my hometown had a serial killer and no one knew because the cops didn't tell anyone until the guy was caught. Another one was caught during a routine traffic stop. He had been killing women in multiple states, got pulled for speeding or something, one thing led to another and the cop looked in the trunk where he found the standard murder kit.

Serial killers who lived in my home state or adjacent state. Indiana has Reverend Jim "kool-aid killer" Jones, Milwaukee Jeffrey Dahmer, Chicago suburbs John Wayne Gacy and Wisconsin Ed Gein, inspiration for "Leatherface" in "Texas Chainsaw Massacre"

The guy next door. How would you know? That was a good, intense movie. One of the better ones of the genre.

It was filmed in 86', but not released until the early 90's due to its controversial subject matter. I know you are not a big fan (I could be mistaken), but I think Danny Peary gave Henry Lee Lucas a nod for his "Alternate Oscar" book.

As soon as I read your post, I recalled it must have been IY who did not care for Peary. Go figure. I liked DP a lot also. Such fun and interesting observations! He didn't seem snooty, either. My favorite film critic, after Pauline Kael, of course.

My favorite film critic, after Pauline Kael, of course. Yes, it figures! What a depressing lump of lard the eyeball would've been to be around. Everything would have been contradicted.
With critics, it is not so much their opinion, because it is all subjective, but the manner of delivery and quality of writing that sells their opinion. Kael was good at looking at why she felt things did or didn't work. Peary was honest and passionate and came across as a genuine, open and nice guy.
Yes, for sure. A rare quality in a critic. He does seem like a nice guy. Very relaxed and upbeat as well. Almost the opposite of cynical. Pauline Kael was such a good, exciting writer. I could recommend her 1968 essay "Trash, Art and the Movies" to anybody.

I lived in the DC area when those two snipers were on the loose (2002?). Maybe three people killed within five miles of my place. I remember the snipers but as a rule most serial killers are white males and black people tend not to be serial killers so you're probably safe. I thought members of street gangs were basically serial killers that hunted in groups. Their behavior definitely fits the profile of serial killers.
