Based on a novel by the same

name, American Psycho follows

investment banker Patrick
Bateman (Christian Bale) as he
manages his homicidal tendencies.
The author, Bret Easton Ellis, read
every book about (KILLER) while
writing the novel, but he also
references (KILLER) many times in
the book and screenplay. Notably,
American Psycho (2000) both Bateman and (KILLER) are
charismatic men who demonstrate
the unstable, aggressive nature of
a psychopath. And Bateman
Can you guess who? murdered prostitutes just like
(KILLER).

Ted Bundy
also known as the Butcher of Plainfield or the Plainfield Ghoul,
was an American convicted murderer and body snatcher. (KILLER)’s
crimes, committed around his hometown of Plainfield, Wisconsin,
gathered widespread notoriety in 1957 after authorities discovered
he had exhumed corpses from local graveyards and fashioned
trophies and keepsakes from their bones and skin. (KILLER) also
confessed to killing two women: tavern owner Mary Hogan in 1954
and hardware store owner Bernice Worden in 1957.
 Alfred Hitchcock loosely based his 1959
novel on (THE KILLER), later adapting it
into one of the most popular horror films
ever. Both Psycho‘s Norman Bates and
(THE KILLER) were obsessed with their
mothers. Experts suspect (THE KILLER)
made clothing out of women’s skin in
order to dress like his late mother.

In 1957, a Wisconsin store owner, Bernice

Worden, went missing. (THE KILLER)
was the last person who saw her when he
Psycho (1960) purchased antifreeze. Police arrested him
and searched his farm. They discovered
Worden’s body as well as a house
Can you guess who? covered in human remains. They later
found that (THE KILLER) frequently
visited local graveyards to exhume
bodies.

Ed Gein
is an American serial killer, rapist, cannibal, and
necrophile who murdered ten people, including his
paternal grandparents and mother. He is noted for his
large size, at 6 feet 9 inches (2.06 m), and for his high
intellect, possessing an IQ of 145. Kemper was
nicknamed the Co-ed Killer, as most of his victims
were female college students.
 Halloween‘s Michael Myers bears
a nearly identical resemblance to
real-life killer (THE KILLER), as
Dread Central details. Director
John Carpenter won’t confirm the
connection, but let’s look at the
facts: Both men killed a family
member (or three) as a child; the
murderers are nearly the exact
same height, and both stabbed
and strangled victims. (THE
KILLER) was arrested in 1973, and
Psycho (1960)
Halloween premiered five years
later. One difference: (THE
KILLER) engaged in necrophilia
Can you guess who? and also buried victims’ head in his
backyard.
"You know what Ed Gein said about women? ... He
said 'When I see a pretty girl walking down the
street, I think two things. One part of me wants to
take her out, talk to her, be real nice and sweet and
treat her right ... [the other part wonders] what her
head would look like on a stick'."
