I am not sure which serial killer I find the scariest. Just the other night I watched a show about a serial killer I had not heard about before, and now I can't recall his name. He killed eight or nine women in the mid-west, as well as many rapes. I found him particularly scary because he would stalk his victims, make sure they were alone, and then break into their house and hide, waiting for them to get home. I think that element of someone watching a person over time and then killing them in their own home (where they feel safe) is what gets to me the most.
That sounds like Dennis Rader - aka "BTK" for Bind, Torture, Kill.
He operated in Wichita from 1974-1991 and was captured in 2005.
Once he hid in someone's closet(her name was Anna) and waited for her to come home with his murder tools.
He had "social obligations" - his term for real life business - so he left.
When she got home, she could tell that someone had been there, and a week or so later he sent Anna a poem titled Anna, why did you not appear?
Richard Kuklinski ( aka the "Ice Man")....mob killer-for-hire....He enjoyed his work immensely. For example, he would tie up people in caves, cover them with raw meat (or something like that) or, worse, would cut them so they would bleed, and then let the rats, who were enticed by the smell and fear--- eat them alive. He always made sure they were alive for the rats to find; killing them instantly was not for this guy, if the order called for the called for the "mark" to suffer. He made damn sure they did.
Further, he videotaped these killings to show the mobsters who hired him the true horror of how these unfortunates died. Even the the people who hired him were shocked by the video when they saw how these people died.
And the kill count? WHO KNOWS! He admitted himself he lost count in the 100s...All the while, he maintained a "normal" family existance at home in a nice upper-class suburb in New Jersey. His wife and kids had NO idea how he made a living. THIS to me, is the epitome of evil on Earth.

I find these people more scary, because they were able to convince others to acquiesce to their evil. I pray the world is done with evil on this scale.
I'd have to say either H.H. Holmes or the "Bloody Benders" of Kansas.
