Jimmy threw the door open with all of his strength and right as they were about to run, they looked down and to their fear saw Thomas’s decapitated head sitting on their welcome mat staining it with blood so badly that it was no longer recognizable as a welcome mat. With a thick dark red blood flowing out of the head and standing on the sliced spine the head started to tip over and fall. His eyes were still wide open and had a dropped jaw with blood slowly flowing down it like a waterfall. The face looked cold and lifeless as it sat there in the pool of blood. Allison screeched and slammed the door shut. She franticly locked the door, then leaned her back against the wall as she slowly descended herself, slowly sliding her back down the door …show more content…
He could feel every step the man took and when his foot would hit the ground he could hear the thump as if the killer was an inch away. Jimmy’s vision starts to get fuzzy and he starts to feel dizzy. He feels like he is about to pass out. Allison, Sabrina, and Sophia start to scatter and run away, but Jimmy just stands there. He doesn’t move a muscle as the killer starts to slowly walk towards him. What was only a second felt like an eternity. His knees started to get weak and he could feel himself about to throw up. The killer step-by-step got closer and closer to Jimmy. Right as he was about to swing his knife, the clean sharp blade swiftly started to move through the air. When it hit the right angle light would beam off of it and Jimmy could see his pale dead face in the reflection of the blade and at that moment realized of how scared he was and how he has never felt this way in his life. His heart was beating at twice its regular speed and he could feel his throat tighten up as he stood there …show more content…
In a combination of fear and rage, Jimmy jumps at the man, tackling him at the waist where he was vulnerable, and starts to attack him. They both fell into the kitchen where the both stumbled and slid across the floor the killer drops his knife and they brawl it out. Jimmy isn’t a very good fighter and didn’t know what he was doing or how to fight, but at the moment he wasn’t thinking about that at all and just used any stamina he had in him to attack the killer. Jimmy sitting on top of the man starts to punch and claw at him as much as he could trying to cause any damage or harm, he could feel the adrenaline rushing through his body and his strength building up from his rage until the man struck Jimmy back knocking him off. The killer extends himself to reach out for the knife that is sitting on the floor. Jimmy grabs his legs and tries to pull him away right before he grabs the knife. The man is inching closer and closer to the knife to where the nails on his fingers barely skim across the handle. He is about to grab it until Jimmy remembers about the broken glass and reaches over and grabs the glass shard from the shattered cup lying beneath the table and grasping it hard enough to where it’s
He begins to think how he had just killed a man and how him and his friends had tried to attempt rapping a girl.

They had then gone back to go get Albert down from the vines. Then a few hours later Albert woke up and said to Thomas, “Why? Why did you do it?” Everybody then looked at Thomas. Then they heard the shafts coming up. Everybody was wondering why it was coming up because it wasn’t supposed to come up for another month. When it opened one of the guy’s newt said, “It’s a girl.” She then woke up and said, “Thomas!” Everyone then glared at Thomas. They took her to the hut to put her somewhere. Gally one of the other guys said, “When you showed up everything started to change” Thomas replied, “I don’t know why.” Thomas then decided to show Gally the unknown object he had found in the griever. Gally then said, “What is that thing?” Thomas told him, “I don’t know I found it when I killed the griever.” Gally surprisingly said, “You killed a griever?” Tomas told him, “Yah but I didn’t know I could even do it in the first place, but if I wanted to live I had to.” Chuck then came running up to the to them and said, “The girl woke up and she wasn’t too fond of where she was and she has a knife as well so you better hurry up.” So Thomas and Gally got there the girl was yelling, “Get back now!” But when Thomas got there he said, “It is alright just put the knife down.

Thomas then said to her, “But wait what is your name?” “My name is um…. Theresa.” Gally and Chuck came up to Thomas and asked him, “What happened? What did she say?” Thomas told them, “Not much just her name and asked what this place
Since I was little my favorite thing to watch on TV would be murder shows that where based on true stories. I would stay up all night watching these shows. Most of my friends found it weird but I felt like this is something that keeps me from being naïve to this world we live in. I was thirteen around the time. So by now I had watch almost a thousand murder shows and I thought I had heard it all. Well I was wrong. This is a story I would never forget. I remember it because it was hard for me to believe that something so horrendous could not only be committed by someone young but to innocent people.
Have you ever wondered what could cause a person to kill another person? How they could do it time and time again and not feel one ounce of regret? Serial killer Joel Rifkin asked himself this same question after he was convicted of killing 17 women. He wondered why he could commit such a violent act, and he decided to have scientist explore his brain to give him the answers that he wanted. Dr. Daniel Amen examined Joel’s brain scans, “When I looked at Joel Rifkin’s scan, I thought to myself, this is a brain that is vulnerable to violence. He had low activity in his prefrontal cortex that most human thoughtful part of the brain” ("Joel Rifkin - Psychopathic Brain"). Joel is not alone on this, 13 out of every 20 serial killers that have been
A killer is not born. A killer is made. However, we are all born with the potential to kill, and any one of us can be made into a killer. It might take a lot to drive us to murder, but some people are simply more susceptible to the idea than others. People tend to believe that serial killers are mentally ill individuals, however, more often than not, they are rational beings who have suffered tremendously. Often, we cannot tell who is a serial killer. It could be the person standing next to you, and you would not have the slightest indication. Serial killers are shaped by isolation from their peers, neglect from loved ones or caregivers, and copious amounts of physical and psychological abuse as children.
When he starts to stand up, the camera starts to tilt upwards but then it cuts to a close up of Jeffries’ face. During this time he is standing, his whole face is covered in shadows. As Jeffries moves around in his wheelchair, it demonstrates that he is truly by himself without the help of Lisa or Stella. As he sits back down, we see the fear on his face, and the camera turns the door where the we hear a flick of a switch and the hallway light turns off. The tension that has been previously built up now is truly coming out.
What drives a person past insanity? What drives an individual to feel no remorse, but rather a psychological relief in murderous acts? Consider all the different types of people on Earth as well as the lifestyles and situations these people are raised up in. As much as it’s desired to think the world is filled with people who carry no such thing as a bad bone in their bodies, that thought process is simple deception. The fact is that psychopaths and sociopaths hide among others in everyday environments - neighbors, teachers, family members, doctors, friends, or even the local mailman. Psychopaths are declared as people who suffer from a mental disorder causing aggression and abnormal behaviors such as their “lack of
According to the Oxford Dictionary; a serial killer is a person who commits a series of murders, often with no apparent motive and typically following a characteristic, predictable behavior pattern. They usually go through a cooling down period where there are no murders. Then start the killing spree back up again after the cooling down period. The killing spree usually doesn’t last more than a couple of years without the murderer being caught. And there is usually a victim type and killing style which leads to the killer being identified. This is the definition of a serial killer so why is it so commonly believed that this is a male dominated area. “However, if, as seems to be the case in many countries, the only
By definition, a serial killer is ‘an individual who murders more than three victims, one at a time during a relatively short interval’, but is it possible to define the reasons and motives behind these attacks? One of the most intriguing aspects of crime throughout the years has been focused on serial killers. What makes a serial killer tick? There is not any one, straightforward answer as to what motivates individuals to commit murder. “Unravelling the making of a serial killer is like aligning a Rubik's cube”.
What follows soon after is the transition from his new and improved persona to his actual identity. This starts by Jimmy looking at Annabel with a warm smile. He then asks her for the rose she is wearing as a sentimental request. He wanted to have something to remember her by. Confused, Annabel hands him the rose. Jimmy puts the rose in his vest pocket, throws off his coat, and pushes up his shirtsleeves; it is then stated, “With that act, Ralph D. Spencer passed away and Jimmy Valentine took his place.” Using his tools, Jimmy opens the safe in record time, freeing the sobbing child. Therefore, this shows the change of his second, new, good identity to his old, criminal, original self which takes us right up to the plot

Brenna Courtemanche Professor Crombie ENC 1102 4 April 2014 The Mind of Serial Killers There is no specific manual or "how to" book to depict what a serial killer would potentially act or look like. It would be comforting if real-life serial killers were like those in the movies. If they were obviously masked like Jason on Friday the 13th, we would be aware whenever they approached. If they were introverted loners like Psycho's Norman Bates, they could not trick us so easily into their deviant plan.
He fell into immediate shock staring down at his pants drenched with his own blood. He let out a soft scream as he collapsed on the
A: A mysterious man who was never found committed 37 horrifying murders in the late 1960’s and early 70’s, and earned the title of the Zodiac Killer. He was constantly seeking the attention of the public by sending taunting letters to the police, as well as blood curdling phone calls to the station after each stabbing. Many of his letters were written as cryptograms or ciphers that were eventually encoded by the police; one of the messages translated to say “I like killing people because it is so much fun”. He struck so much fear into the people of San Francisco, and even though to much of the cities effort to catch this cold blood killer was never found. (“The Killer Called Zodiac”10)
Jack the Ripper, the Zodiac Killer, Jeffrey Dahmer, Ted Bundy, Son of Sam, the BTK Killer.
