top ten mass murderers

Juan Corona



I always hated top 10 lists, Robert Hilburn used the artifice ad nauseum, made a career out of it, but in response to Grumpy's hit parade, here goes - forgot the name of the guy who climbed into the University of Texas bell tower - he probably would have made the cut -

1. Ed Gein - Wore his mothers skin - inspiration for movie Psycho
2. Juan Corona - farmworker was so venal they named a cheap mexican beer after him.
3. Charles Manson - loveable old charlie - could reportedly stop a clock with his mind
4. John Wayne Gacy - Kiddie Clown with a nasty disposition
5. Ted Bundy - Ted Bundy was handsome and cultured and charming. Until he was strangling and mutilating his victims, displaying their lopped-off heads in his apartment and sleeping with their corpses until putrefaction made it unbearable. (from Time Magazine)
6. Nightstalker -Kenneth Bianchi and Angelo Buono - killing cousins.
7. Richard Speck - systematically killed eight student nurses.
8. Charles Starkweather - murdered 11 people in two states, accompanied by his underage girlfriend.
9. Jeffrey Dahmer - washed them down with a shot of chianti and fava beans
10.David Berkovitz - adopted, not really jewish - He claimed a demon transmitted orders through his neighbor's dog instructing him to murder. Bad dog.
