I do it simply out of boredom.
One of the characters in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre was based on Gein.
And Silence of the Lambs and Psycho.... Gein was not a prolific killer either he was more of a ghoul digging up the dead and making belts out of nipples and lampshades and a full bodysuit out of flesh.
What a complete sick odd ball.
Exactly he was indeed VERY sick, so sick he was deemed mentally unfit for trial by jury and was institutionalized for the remainder of his life. He killed 2 people and it's unknown if he even intended to do so.....very odd duck, but quite different than Jeffrey Dahmer or John Wayne Gacy who were blood thirsty killers and sadists.



H.H. Holmes is still very interesting to me as he had a fucking Batman villain evil bad guy LAIR in which he killed and tortured people. Ed Kemper is another one who was almost a super villain a mountain of a man and with an astonishingly high IQ.
Dahmer and Gacy were not blood thirsty as such, Dahmer did it because he wanted to create his own personal sex zombie (hence drilling holes into their head and pouring acid into their skulls)
Gacy most likely did it because he was such a repressed homosexual that the only way he saw fit to keep his sexual preferences secret was to dispose of the other person, he didn't necessarily think 'right then I'm going out killing tonight' it was more likely that the killing was the most convenient way of keeping his secret, till the day he died he admitted to being bisexual but if you called him an outright gay then he would lose his shit.

Richard Ramirez (The Night Stalker) didn't have any real reason for why he killed and raped, there is talk that he suffered a severe head injury which could have been an underlying cause (funnily enough I'm pretty sure Gacy, Dahmer and a few other high profile serial killers suffered from similar injuries in their youth) when Ramirez was sentenced to death he shrugged his shoulders and said 'oh well, death goes with the territory'
