What actually defines a serial killer as a serial killer? Well like everything else in the world there is more than one definition, but here at Puff of Madness, we will be going by the definition the FBI uses. According to the FBI, a serial killer or offender is someone who commits at least three murders within a month with an emotional cooling-off period in between.
Now that we understand the definition of serial killers let me enlighten you on the different types of killers. There are many types of killers so many that this will be an ongoing topic here at Puff of madness, one with at least two different types per article I hope you all enjoy just as much as we do.
Thrill seeker- this type of offender kills for mostly the thrill alone while trying to outsmart authorities for their own amusement they may be considered either organized or unorganized in their thought processes.

Thus, these repetitive serial killers may be reacting to chemicals and hereditary factors in their brains rather than on pure evil. The concept of id, ego and superego, first introduced by psychologist Sigmund Freud, also may come into play.
Additionally, studies have also revealed that most serial killers see themselves as the victims of all evils in the world. This may be because they have suffered as children, or it could just be the nature of their feelings. Serial killers victimise themselves and justify their actions to themselves and others. For instance, Dennis Rader is a serial killer, also known as BTK killer - a name that he coined for himself which essentially is a short description of his modus operandi - bind, torture, kill.
As a child, his parents were always busy working and he especially resented his mother. In his early years, he possessed sadistic sexual fantasies and zoosadism by torturing, killing and hanging small animals. As he grew older, he had a wife and a daughter and was elected the president of the Christ Lutheran Church, he was also a Cub Scout leader - basically a seemingly upstanding citizen.
Raider went on to kill ten people between in Wichita and Park City, Kansas, and sent taunting letters to police and newspapers describing the details of his crimes. He managed to have a double life, on the one hand he was a husband, father and a respectable man and on the other, he was a violent man who did unimaginable things to people he did not even know.
