Intelligent, He can read you like a book before you have finished your sentence. He can get into your head quickly.

He's sadistic and blood-thirsty as well as incredibly intelligent. He is also extremely good at getting into your head. He totally deserves #1!
Hannibal the Cannibal... Surely deserved this spot.

He actually has more victories than any other killer on this list. He kills because he feels like he needs to, not because it's fun or he thinks it's justified. He even gets away with it.
He has the face of an angel and the mind of a demon.
Every one knows Michael Myers the true Serial Killer and, know matter what you do he never dies

Dexter Morgan is a fictional character and the antihero of a series of novels by Jeff Lindsay, including Darkly Dreaming Dexter, Dearly Devoted Dexter, Dexter in the Dark, Dexter by Design, Dexter Is Delicious, Double Dexter, and Dexter's Final Cut. This guy is a true SERIAL killer. No doubt Hannibal Lecter is a better killer but, he is not much of a serial killer. - RealNicDavis
He kills those who deserve it a true hero

He became a killer because his mother was decapitated by one of the counselors in the first movie. Now he wants revenge on anyone who returns to the camp. He's not totally evil, he just loves his mother.
6 The Jigsaw Killer
"Let's play a game." What all do I really need to say?

This character was actually inspired by six real life serial killers. Jerry Brudos, Ed Gein, Ted Bundy, Gary M. Heidnik, Edmund Kemper, and Gary Ridgway.
8 Norman Bates

10 John Doe
The Contenders
11 Candy Man
He wasn't always this way. This is what he became after he was brutally murdered and had his hand sawn off. Some people have no humanity.
12 Chucky
Charles Lee Ray is a fictional character and the titular antagonist of the Child's Play horror film series.
Charles Lee Ray is a fictional character and the titular antagonist of the Child's Play horror film series. The coolest thing about this killer is that he transported his soul into the body of a doll so that he can stay alive.

14 The Tooth Fairy
He's played by Lord Voldemort himself.
AKA the Great Red Dragon.
15 Jeff the Killer
Jeff the Killer is a creepypasta usually accompanied by a picture of a white face looking in to the camera smiling in an unsettling manner. The creepypasta is also usually accompanied by the term "Go to sleep".
Jeff the Killer is a creepypasta usually accompanied by a picture of a white face looking in to the camera smiling in an unsettling manner. The creepypasta is also usually accompanied by the term "Go to sleep". His story is very flawed and unrealistic if you think about it, but I still love it all the same. And his appearance combined with his catch phrase "Go To Sleep" really is spooky, so he does deserve some credit. I like him.
16 Kira - Death Note
Notebook of death, shall I say more?
Scary killer show no mercy
17 Tiffany - Bride of Chucky
18 Red John
He's awesome he has Supernatural Powers truly, He knew about the Names in Jane's suspect list 3 month before Jane even did and Jane is the one who made it!
Oh, come on Hannibal is just a man who has been identified before AND caught, Red John is a Superhuman he makes NO mistakes, a true Supervillian with Psychic Powers and criminal genius.
19 Ghostface

Leatherface is a character in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre horror-film series and its spin-offs. He wears masks made of human skin and engages in murder and cannibalism, alongside his inbred family. A cannibal with a mask made out of human skin and a house full of decorations made out of human bones. He should be higher.
He was inspired by real-life serial killer Ed Gein. Gein was also the inspiration for Hannibal Lecter and Norman Bates.
I think he should be higher on the list. He's very realistic looking.
