A Soundtrack For Murder
Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been fascinated with books and movies about serial killers, mass murderers, and true crime. Not in an admiring “I can’t wait to grow up and murder someone” kind of way, but more of a morbid obsession with what exactly makes them tick. You could put every fictional monster ever created in front of me, but none could frighten me as much as a person with a psychotic mind. To think that someone just as human as yourself could one day flip to the “dark side” and commit such atrocities… it boggles the mind. And the most frightening thing is that you never know who until it happens. It’s not like monsters and zombies, which you would be able to identify from a mile away. No, these people look like everyday people… just like you and me. And it could be one of us. And that, folks, is what I call scary. Not long-haired Japanese ghosts, not mutant rednecks, and not even Satan himself. The human mind is what gives me nightmares.
So in honor of this freaky obsession, I’ve put together a special playlist about murderers and murder, both real and fictional. And here it is… your Soundtrack For Murder:
