SOURCES and INTERESTING READS
The Mammoth Book of the History of Murder by Colin Wilson
The Diary of Jack The Ripper by Shirley Harrison (hard to find in the states)
Human Monsters by David Everitt
The Encyclopedia of Serial Killers by Brian Lane and Wilfred Gregg
The Bloody Countess: The Crimes of Elizabeth Bathory by Valentine Penrose
These are the books from which I derived my information but there are plenty of autobiographies including that of Vlad the Impaler by Radu Florescu and quite a few movies on a few of the killers which are semi factual.

Hollywood tends to twist things so if I were serious about finding the truth then i'd turn to the books, but have fun and watch the movies afterwards and catch the faults such as vlad's father being buried alive instead of his elder brother, plus some things are too gory to put on film.
