5 Serial Killer Movies You May Have Not Yet Seen (and Should) #1 Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon (2006)

There's no secret that some of our favorite horror movies deal with those creepy bastards that stalk us and want to do unspeakably horrible things to us. From 'Psycho' to 'Hannibal' they have endeared us with their quirkiness, style, and finesse. With glorious one liners and clever kills, they are a fascination both in fiction and reality. Hell, how do think the Creepercast got its name? Speaking of how we got our name, two of the films on this list helped make Creepercast great and connected us with amazing film makers and actors we now call friends. So, without further pontificating, here are 5 serial killer films we believe deserve your attention a little more than the rest...

Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon (2006)

Nice, normal-looking Leslie Vernon (Nathan Baesel) has an obsession with movie-style slashers like Michael Myers, Jason Voorhees and Freddy Krueger. Leslie decides to follow in the footsteps of his heroes, and, ever the self-promoter, invites a documentary filmmaker (Angela Goethals) and her crew to follow him around as he constructs his own grisly legacy.

Writer/Director Scott Glosserman presents a behind the scenes look at what it takes to be a successful serial killer. Nathan Baesel has razor sharp creep and comedy timing and we even get to see his humble beginnings as his mentor, played by Scott Wilson of 'Walking Dead' fame, steals the spotlight for a moment. Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon is the perfect storm of suttle and in your face horror homages. We were extremely fortunate in our early days to have Glosserman on the podcast to discuss Behind the Mask. Look for it I'm sure its somewhere on the nets!
