How serial killers looked in movies and life

The names of serial killers are terrifying to those who are at least slightly familiar with the crimes they committed. Often, the stories of such psychopaths become the basis for films and TV series, where viewers are asked to tell in an artistic or documentary style about their path to murder and the punishment for it.

Because of this, the faces of monsters are erased from people’s memories, and only the images of their heroes remain. OBOZREVATEL decided to show what Jack the Ripper, Chikatilo and other prisoners convicted of mass murders or not caught really looked like (to see the photo, scroll to the end of the page).

One of the most famous Soviet serial killers, rapist, pedophile, cannibal, who committed more than 50 proven murders from 1978 to 1990, was executed in Novocherkassk prison in 1994. At one time, Dmitry Nagiev played the murderer in the TV series of the same name.

The American serial killer, criminal and leader of a gang that called itself “The Family” died in prison in 2017. The role of Manson was played by the actor Jeremy Davis in the film “Helter Skelter”.

American serial killer Richard Chase got the nickname “Vampire from Sacramento” because he drank the blood of his victims and excelled at cannibalism. In 1980, he committed suicide in a prison cell. Actor Alex MacArthur played Charles Rhys in the film “Furage”, the prototype of which was Richard Chase.

One of the most brutal serial killers in history has not yet been identified. Only an approximate description of the Ripper has survived to this day. The witnesses said that this is a man of 30-35 years old in appearance, with an unbendable hand and a shuffling gait. Ivor Novello played the killer in the 1927 film “The Tenant”.
