Comments about ‘Star of 'Bundy' says film doesn't glorify serial killer’

"baffled by America's continuing fascination with serial killers." Well, maybe if they weren't continually glorified simply by being portrayed in the media even years after they're gone, America would leave them alone. I know I haven't though about Bundy or any of the others in years until this article.

I was going to School in Provo (the Y) in the 70s when TED was out there committing Murder and Mayhem. I also understand he was attending a U of U LDS student ward. My recollection was he was a charismatic speaker, especially during the monthly Testimony Meetings. He could bring the Ward members to tears with his "Testimony". Talk about living two parallel lives. I guess what I have been trying to get my hands around for years is how could these Ward members not sense Ted's Murderous vibe or like so many us put on our "Church Face" attending our meetings and have our "Home face" when we are away from Church. Fellow Readers I am sure some of you out there know his story better than my 30 plus year memories. Thats why this dicotomy between his Church life and His "hobby" still intrigues me.

I think people in gerneral are fascinated with sociopaths. They wonder what goes through the mind of a person to make them violate one of the most basic of sociaetal norms, & to do it repeatedly. Thats why horror shows are so popular. They appeal to that basic fight or flight instinct & get the adrenaline going. I don't know if I will watch it, but I have to admit it is an interesting subject.

This is no surprise considering modern media's promotion of such values as self-glorification, crudeness and lewdness, lycanthropy, nudity, substance abuse, and serial killing. If America is to remain great we must return to the old-fashioned values that made our country great, like moderation, temperance, subtle innuendo, and not serial killing.

Hi Charity
Serial Killers are not a modern invention nor a reflection comtemporary society. I would wager that serial killers are a subset of the Human Condition and have been with us since People formed social communities.

Charity I have a great book for you, titled "The Devil in the White City". Is the 1890s period in America a more towards your liking with its "old-fashion Traditional Values". I think you would have been very disappointed in Chicago.
