Trinity (Dexter)
Dexter has squared off against a ton of serial killers in his day, and even is one himself which could have easily landed him a spot on this list. But is he really all that scary? He only kills bad guys after all. But Trinity? Man, was he horrifying. He was a seemingly nice, normal guy, but in secret he held his family together with fear, and had a cycle of killing that left dozens of bodies in his wake.

My favorite was Sylar because he was powerful and had no conscience he loved to hurt other people because he knew he could now that’s badass
Lauren, you are messed up.
The Carver was pretty creepy (the mask really), but since only one person was murdered by The Carver I don’t think the term “serial killer” really applies. Definitely a creepy serial rapist, though.
What about Foyet in Criminal Minds? He was sadistic and flat out evil, killing for the sake of killing. He should be on this list…
There’s one glaring omission on this list. The single scariest episode of TV ever was the episode were Laura Palmer’s killer was revealed on Twin Peaks and they really showed Killer Bob.
Thanks for the spoiler alert! I just started watching American Horror Story! Awesome!!! Someone should be fired!
We are a television news site, which means that once something airs, it’s fair game to be written about on the internet. Also, if you just started watching AHS then that means you are one or two seasons behind, as I’m not sure exactly where you are. We don’t post a spoiler alert for something that was revealed weeks or months ago. The general agreement across the internet is that something is no longer a spoiler once it airs on the east coast – and certainly after it airs on the west coast. I’m sorry you got spoiled, but we can’t predict individual viewing habits.
You’re missing Frank Breitkopf and George Foyet from Criminal Minds. Top of the game serial killers who were even scarier because they were as real as you could get.
I totally agree with you, I immediately thought of them when I saw this Top5…
