Line 161:
* Mike and Bart in the black comedy ''How To Be A Serial Killer''.
* Carl Panzram in ''Killer: A Journal of a Murder'', memorably played by James Woods. Disturbing in its way since the story is based on an [[wikipedia:Carl Panzram|actual serial killer]], although the film isn't nearly as gruesome as Panzram's real career.
* ''[[The Element of Crime]]'' subverts many of the expected associated tropes by featuring a [[Hidden Villain|very elusive]] child killer whose identity is {{spoiler|never revealed (in fact, he may be have been dead already even before the events of the movie)}}, and by having some of his murders {{spoiler|actually committed by the people who pursue him, [[Go Mad Fromfrom the Revelation|as they become crazy]] [[Dramatic Irony|because of the very profiling method they're using]].}}
* The protagonist of ''[[The Poughkeepsie Tapes]]'' is an especially terrifying example.
* Hugo Stiglitz of ''[[Inglourious Basterds]]'' was basically a serial killer that targeted Nazi officers despite being one himself. This got him immediate entry into the Basterds after they busted him out of prison.
