who is the worst serial killer in US history?

[Northwindsforever]

Anyways the movie, Henry: A Portrait of a Serial Killer (1986) is a masterpiece. Such a dark and vicious flick.

Ed Gein should not be in the poll. He does not fulfill the criteria of a serial killer. And why do ppl vote for Dahmer? Ted Bundy the clean cut articulate law school student was the most vile of them all. A special nod goes out to the aforementioned Charles NG as well.

[Harrier]

Gary Ridgway is the worst if you define worst by sheer verified number of victims.

Albert Fish possibly killed more, and perhaps Bundy did also, but those murders have not all been verified.

Henry Lee Lucas self reported hundreds of murders, but his claims have been discounted.

There was some loony tune who was convicted of a handful of killings who called himself "Coast to Coast".

Harrier will have to look him up - he is somewhat obscure - but his first name was Tommy and he was arrested in Texas.

Here he is - Tommy Lynn Sells.
