2 quick fun questions?

Post Reply New Topic

1.Have you been obsessed with WP since you've found it? (I think I am now it's one of my regular sites I check and people here tend to respect me more and don't get mad if my grammar sucks.)

2. Did you have a fascination with serial killers at some time? (I read this alot on Asperger's and some people on another topic said they did so I thought I'd see how many said they did in this topic just for fun.)

1. It's one of my regular sites, good timekiller

2. Yep... Albert Fish, Jeffery Dahmer, Ted Bundy, et al... and it's gotten me in trouble before.

LOL! With that interest does anyone remember Columbine and Eric Harris (who was diagnosed a Psychopath) and Dylan Kleibold (Depression) (Maybe that's why I was suspended from College.) I know why but I know where your coming from with a killer interest being an issue.

1. yes, I wouldn't say it was an obsession, but I regularily check here each time I'm online (unless at college).

2. Yes, from the age of about 16 onwards. Also had a penchant for mass murderers and poisoners.

yes and no.

The funny part is that some kids at my school think I'm weird for NOT knowing who those people are.

I've become very addicted to WrongPlanet and I've been obsessed with Jack The Ripper in the past.

1.Have you been obsessed with WP since you've found it? well just found it today ^^'

2. Did you have a fascination with serial killers at some time? yep

I tend to 'ration' myself; during the week, I just do the current posts on the home page (which is what I'm doing now), during the weekend, I'll do forum by forum...

Serial killers haven't ever done a thing for me. I was more of a horn dog in my youth (an imaginary lover, not a fighter... so I was more interested in the ladies...

1) Yes, and I really have more important things I should be doing...

2) have been fascinated by the macabre since a small child. Scared myself silly watching Abbott & Costello Meet Frankentstein at age six. Stop laughing, I know it's tame now, but to a 6yo in 1965 it was creepy as hell. Addicted to Dark Shadows (anybody remember the first vampire show on television?) and late night reruns of old Horror classics by age ten. Collected Warren Horror comics and HP Lovecraft paperbacks as a teen (have a Vampirella tat), and read everything I could find on Vlad (The Impaler*) Dracul, Jack the Ripper, Elizabeth Bathory, et al. First read Stoker's Dracula on a family camping vacation. Now write horror fiction. Serial killers are just part of the research

Although, I hate slasher movies. No plot.

Of course back in the sixties and seventies, we had movies like The Corpse Grinders. Great Title, also no plot.

With the RL monsters though, it's the apparent humanity that makes them compelling, isn't it? They look like everybody else, but talk about atypical brain function, oy vey! And guys like Bundy can fake being NT better than I ever could, if I lived to be a hundred. That's what makes 'em scary, that chameleon ability to blend in so well. Never thought of them as role models by any means, but I think maybe on some level I identified with their obvious alienation from the rest of society.

* talk about the perfect wrestling name for a steel cage death match.

1. Yeah, I come to WP on a daily basis, mostly because I'm bored.

2. I never had a fascination with serial killers.

1. So far, spent the afternoon here. Odds favor that I'll be here awhile.

2. The darker aspects of humanity have fascinated me since the age of five when I began devouring Greek and Roman mythologies. While I admit that I'm quite adverse to gore, the mental methodologies of such individuals are so fascinatingly aberrant that they continue to draw my attention. So not to mass murderers, per se, but the idiosyncrasies of those capable of such acts.


M.

1. Yes ive been addicted since i found it.
2. Not serial killers, but certain killings have caught my interest. Like the murder of 2 year old James Bulger in 93 by two ten year old boys was a thing that had me going quite some time.

1. Yep, guess you could say so....altho this is only day 2 here....this is my first cyber stop & I've been up half an hour (coffee first, ppl....lets not get too crazy )

2. not quite - I'm more fascinated with the other end of things.... legal eagle type shows, medical emergency types, etc. I have had a voracious appetite for learning ABOUT things since I was old enough to think clearly (dad was VERY glad when I learned to read & could use the encyclopedia set we had ) so CSI is one of my alltime faves! Even when it gets a bit gory & gross, I just can't tear myself away
