True Crime Quiz: Can You Pick These Notorious Serial Killers Out of a Line-Up?

Disclaimer: the details in this quiz may be gruesome, and it's not for everyone.

But it is for fans of true crime – murderinos, if you will.

Whether you're intrigued by the absolute heart of darkness – the pure evil to which Man can sink – or you want to feel as prepared as possible for worst case scenarios, delving into true crime allows outlets for both. 

The details can be pretty morbid, so if you don't have the stomach for true crime, move on to other quizzes. This one's a bit heavy, and we have plenty of other lighthearted quizzes in store for you. You have been warned.

But if you're a murderino, don't hesitate. Play on.

Test your History Knowledge

Dennis Rader, the BTK Killer, chillingly wrote, “When this monster entered my brain, I will never know, but it is here to stay. How does one cure himself? I can't stop it, the monster goes on and hurts me as well as society. Maybe you can stop it. I can't.”

It's safe to say Rader was probably speaking for all those in this Serial Killer Quiz. Do you think you can name them all?

Perhaps you know which murderer targeted women in London in the 19th century? How about naming "The Butcher" of Russia or "The Boston Strangler"? What "Night Stalker" escalated serial burglary into murder? Were police able to catch the "Zodiac Killer"? 

Imagine you were a witness to any one of these serial killers fleeing the scene. Could you pinpoint them in a line-up? Take this dark and historical Serial Killer Quiz to test your memory of true crime.
