by Ed-Shullivan | created - 09 Dec 2019 | updated - 3 months ago | PublicAlthough this decade is just starting (when I created this list) I will continue to add many new and intriguing films in the serial killer/murderer genre. I will continue to add many new titles as the current decade closes in on that special year of 2030.
