I didn't think they were scary at all, until i saw this one day.... Ever since then, they creep me out. -_-
John Wayne Gacy - The Killer Clown
Number of murders: 40
Period of killings: 1974—1978
A respected member of the Junior Chamber of Commerce, a precinct captain in the local Democratic party, the owner of a contracting business and a performing clown at children’s parties, John Wayne Gacy seemed as normal as they come – even though he would go on to murder 40 young boys.
Gacy’s modus operandi was to lure his victims into handcuffs with the pretext of showing them a trick he used in his clown act. He’d then dare the victim to free himself. Once the boys were handcuffed, he would use either a rope or a board across their throats to kill them while he raped them.
After a six-year killing spree, Gacy was arrested. He told police, “There are four Johns” (similar to multiple personalities) — one was a contractor, another a clown, one a politician, and the fourth went by the name Jack Hanley. Jack did evil things.
Gacy confessed to more than 24 murders and drew a map to 28 graves under his house and garage. He also said he threw five others into the Des Plaines River. He was executed by lethal injection on May 10, 1994. His last meal consisted of fried chicken, Coke, french fries and strawberry shortcake. His last words: “Kiss my ass.”
