yeah its part of the pop culture ... and it may always be there .. but i see it becoming an entity like the vampire or wolfman..
I'm speaking specifically of FICTIONAL serial killers here
they have certain rules :
- the killings must be elaborate and act out something meaningful
- there will be a clue left to taunt the investigators
- the killer is super intelligent
- the killer has amazing timing and access to anything he/she wants
- the killer has had a run in with one particular investigator years ago and holds a grudge ... and will only deal with/taunt that person. the whole motive for all the killings might just be to get back at this person.
you see/read enough of these things and you see a pattern .. the formula.
it becomes very similar to the rules that go with the other classical monsters..
