Television detectives and crime scene investigators need a challenge to keep the audience in suspense. Nothing gets the job done better than a deranged serial killing psycho who seemingly targets random people and has an odd and almost incomprehensible method to their madness.

Red john
Series: The Mentalist
Best Line: "Tyger, Tyger burning bright in the forests of the night. What immortal hand or eye could frame that fearful symmetry?"
Red John is a fictional serial killer on the TV show The Mentalist, who is believed to have begun killing in 1998, and has, with his operatives and acolytes, killed more than 30 people in California, Nevada, and Mexico, so far. Five years prior to the action of the first episode, he murdered the wife and the daughter of the protagonist Patrick Jane, making Jane his dedicated nemesis. As part of his criminal signature, Red John draws a smiley face on the wall with the blood of the victim—always clockwise (except when it was portrayed in skywriting in "Red John's Footsteps"), using the three fingers of his rubber-gloved right hand. Patrick Jane, the show's protagonist, says in the pilot episode, "Red John thinks of himself as a showman; an artist. He has a strong sense of theater ... the first thing that anyone sees is the face on the wall. You see the face first and you know. You know what's happened and you feel dread. Then, and only then do you see the body of the victim. Always in that order."

Dexter Morgan
Series: Dexter
Best Line: "I'm a neat monster."
Dexter Morgan is a serial killer who hunts other serial killers. He follows the strict code of Harry so only the guilty know his thirst for blood.

Dexter uses his skills to hunt down those who escape the law and brings them to justice. Often, he will put pictures of their crimes next to the criminals and go through what they have done before cutting them up. The one thing that makes the Dexter character so compelling is his need to satisfy his dark passenger and perform justice at the same time.

Arthur Mitchell “Trinity Killer”
Series: Dexter
Best Line: "Shhh, shhh. it's already over. It's already over.."
Arthur Mitchell is an unassuming suburbanite and family man — who for 30 years has been living a double life as a serial killer. Frank Lundy dubs him the "Trinity Killer" because of a recurring pattern of three killings. First, Mitchell would kill a young woman in a bathtub by slicing her femoral artery with a straight razor while putting her in a choke hold, and holding up a small mirror so that he can see her face as she dies. His second victim is a married mother of two, whom he kidnaps and forces to jump to her death from an abandoned building. His third victim is a father of two, whom he bludgeons to death with a hammer. At each site he places a small sample of his sister's ashes, and arranges the victim's arm to point at the ash. He has repeated this cycle in different cities all over the United States. It is later discovered that, before these three, the Trinity Killer also kidnaps a young boy whom he dresses in cowboy pajamas and convinces to play with a train set in a parody of his childhood. Following this, he will bury the boy alive in cement at a Four Walls' building site. These killings were not connected to the pattern until shortly before Mitchell's death, because the boys were reported as missing rather than dead. At first, Dexter Morgan is fascinated by Mitchell's efficient killing methods and apparent ability to balance his familial responsibilities with his secret life as a serial killer.

After the death of his father Norman Bates and his mother Norma move to the small town of White Pine Bay in Oregon to run a small roadside motel. There they quickly become embroiled in the small town mysteries – murder, kidnapping, drug running and other unsavoury business. What complicates matters is whether or not some of it exists only in Norman’s head, the untimely arrival of his troublesome step-brother and just how far the bond between Norman and Norma can be stretched. In addition there are two new love interests to divide Norman’s time – a typical blonde teenager who shows her human side when tragedy befalls her early in the series and a chronically ill girl who shares his fascination with the morbid. Although there are a number of characters around the town who fill out various roles in the mystery the stars are undoubtably Freddie Highmore (yes, the kids from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) and Vera Farmiga who play Norman and Norma perfectly.

Genesis
Dr. Hannibal Lecter
Series: The silence of the lambs
Best Line: “A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti.”!
When people talk about serial killers in movies, Hannibal Lecter is bound to be one of the first mentioned. Almost 25 years since his first appearance in Manhunter (yes it really has been that long), Lecter still sends shivers down the spines of even the toughest of movie goers. Although Lecter was first seen in Manhunter (portrayed by Brian Cox), most people associate the character with The Silence of the Lambs (a film which houses a certain other entrant on this list). Anthony Hopkins won an Oscar for his unforgettable portrayal of a former psychiatrist and psychopathic cannibal, who taunts Jodie Foster’s Clarice Starling from behind bars. What makes Lecter so effective as a character is just how calm and calculating he is. He’s undoubtedly out of his mind, but not in an outward or obvious way as some other serial killers mentioned here (Leatherface, etc). He speaks in a soft (albeit creepy) tone of voice and rarely overreacts to the situation at hand. His delivery of advice to Clarice on how to catch a serial killer on the loose is as fascinatingly ironic as it is spine-tingling.However, despite spending a lot of his time in a cage during The Silence of the Lambs, Lecter shows that he’s as capable physically as he is at psychologically manipulating people. For instance, he disguises himself as an injured police officer by cutting off and wearing the officer’s face in order to escape captivity. A sick yet determined man, indeed. As was revealed in the origin story Hannibal Rising, Lecter was traumatized as a child when he witnessed the murder and consumption of his younger sister. However, that still doesn’t explain the extreme lengths of Lecter’s insanity – something is clearly inherently wrong with him on a base level. Lecter remains one of the greatest fictional characters of the last few decades and is the epitome of the psychopathic serial killer.

Tony Soprano
Series: The Sopranos
Best Line: “All due respect, you got no f—in’ idea what it’s like to be Number One. Every decision you make affects every facet of every other f—in’ thing. It’s too much to deal with almost. And in the end you’re completely alone with it all.”
Even though The Sopranos had an amazing cast filled with excellent actors, one man made the show truly great: James Gandolfini as Tony Soprano. He’s just about the most flawed protagonist you can imagine, yet he still manages to come across as relatable and likeable. We watch him play the role of mob boss, father, husband, son, and patient, among others, so Tony Soprano eventually feels like a close friend that you deeply understand. Perhaps the most memorable aspect of Tony Soprano’s story is the cliffhanger at the very end of the series. Was he about to be whacked or did he somehow manage to escape that foreboding scene? Regardless of what you believe, the fact that the audience will never know is something that doesn’t leave your head. Only man who could make white vests and dressing gowns cool. You can't really argue with that level of influence. With more sharp suits, retro polo shirts, leather jackets and gold watches than you can shake a capocollo panini at, he was one cool dude.
Rest in peace, James Gandolfini.

Krueger was created by Wes Craven, and had been consistently portrayed by Robert Englund since his first appearance. In the 2010 remake, he was portrayed by Academy Award–nominee Jackie Earle Haley.
Freddy is a vengeful spirit who attacks his victims from within their dreams. He is commonly identified by his burned, disfigured face, red-and-dark-green striped sweater, brown fedora, and trademark metal-clawed brown leather glove on his right hand. Robert Englund has said many times that he feels the character represents neglect, particularly that suffered by children. The character also more broadly represents subconscious fears.
Freddy Krueger's physical appearance has remained largely consistent throughout the film series, although minor changes were made in subsequent films. He wears a striped red-and-green sweater (solid red sleeves in the original film), a dark brown fedora, his bladed glove (see below), loose black trousers (brown in the original film), and worn working boots, in keeping with his blue collar background. His skin is scarred and burned as a result of being burned alive by the parents of Springwood, and he has no hair at all on his head as it presumably all burned off. In the original film, only Freddy's face was burned, while the scars have spread to the rest of his body from the second film onwards. His blood is occasionally a dark, oily color, or greenish in hue when he is in the Dreamworld. In the original film, Freddy remains in the shadows and under lower light much longer than he does in the later pictures. In the second film, there are some scenes where Freddy is shown without his glove, and instead with the blades protruding from the tips of his fingers. As the films began to emphasize the comedic, wise-cracking aspect of the character, he began to don various costumes and take on other forms, such as dressing as a waiter or wearing a Superman inspired version of his sweater with a cape (The Dream Child), appearing as a video game sprite (Freddy's Dead), a giant snake-like creature (Dream Warriors), and aHookah smoking caterpillar (Freddy vs. Jason).
In New Nightmare, Freddy's appearance is updated considerably, giving him a green fedora that matched his sweater stripes, skin-tight leather pants, knee-high black boots, a turtleneck version of his trademark sweater, a dark blue trench coat, and a fifth claw on his glove, which also has a far more organic appearance (see below). Freddy also has fewer burns on his face, though these are more severe, with his muscle tissue exposed in numerous places. Compared to his other incarnations, this Freddy's injuries are more like those of an actual burn victim. For the 2010 remake, Freddy is returned to his iconic attire, but the burns on his face are intensified with further bleaching of the skin and exposed facial tissue on the left cheek, reminiscent of actual third degree burns.

Best Line: "..."
Michael Audrey Myers was born on October 19, 1957. He had an older sister named Judith and a younger sister. The family resided in a two-story house at 45 Lampkin Lane in the suburban town of Haddonfield, Illinois. On October 31, 1963, a six-year old Michael dressed as a clown for Halloween and watched his sister & her boyfriend kissing before going upstairs to have sex. Taking a knife out of the kitchen drawer and waiting for Judith's boyfriend to leave, Michael then snuck up the stairs and repeatedly stabbed his sister to death. After watching her die, he left the house only to be discovered by his astonished parents, who had just returned home. Michael was sent to Smith's Grove Warren County Sanitarium for his crime, where he would remain until his twenty-first birthday until he could be tried as an adult. At Smith's Grove, Michael received psychiatric treatment from Doctor Sam Loomis. Upon spending time with the boy, Loomis concluded that it was a hopeless case that Michael Myers had no humanity left. He pleaded his case that Myers be moved to a more secure facility, but his superiors refused to listen and ordered that he remain in the "adequate" Smith's Grove. In 1965, Michael's parents were killed in a car accident, and his little sister was adopted by the Strode family, who renamed her Laurie. The Strodes brought Laurie to visit Michael at Smith's Grove on at least one occasion when she was still a little girl.

The family resided in a two-story house at 45 Lampkin Lane in the suburban town of Haddonfield, Illinois. On October 31, 1963, a six-year old Michael dressed as a clown for Halloween and watched his sister & her boyfriend kissing before going upstairs to have sex. Taking a knife out of the kitchen drawer and waiting for Judith's boyfriend to leave, Michael then snuck up the stairs and repeatedly stabbed his sister to death. After watching her die, he left the house only to be discovered by his astonished parents, who had just returned home.

"Michael Myers is the most dangerous patient I have ever observed. [...] He's covering up. This catatonia is a conscious act. There is an instinctive force within him. He's waiting."
