Vol. 1 Profiling the criminal mind. They tend to look like "the guy next door." They're well spoken. Often highly intelligent. And as you read this, there are between 30 and 50 of them "at work" somewhere in America. They're the human predators known as serial killers. But the hunters are also hunted, by dedicated professionals known as profilers-men and women who spend their time mapping some of the most dangerous territory on earth : the minds of murders. Now, guided by former FBI Agent and profiling pioneer John Douglas and other leading authorities, embark on a revealing exploration of how cutting-edge forensic psychology and old-fashioned sleuthing are combing to illumiate the murky netherworld of serial killers. -- On back of video jacket. Vol.2. 16 young men and boys. He dismembered and consumed some of them. He killed not out of anger or vengeance, but something much darker and more difficult to fathom. In the process, he earned a place in American criminal history as one of the most shocking serial killers of modern times. Vol. 3. John Wayne Gacy. To all outward appearances, he was a responsible civic leader and hard-workign businessman leading a quiet life in a tranquil Chicago suburb. But beneath John Wayne Gacy's carefully constructed facade of respectability lurked a very different personality. One capable of luring young men to his surburban home...and making sure they never left again. The discovery of some 33 bodies buried beneath the house jolted the nation's sensibilities. Vol. 4 - Charles Manson. August, 1969 - the night of "Helter Skelter." The night that brough the decade of peace and love to a bloody, nightmarish end. But what kind of diabolical charisma could have motivated the brainwashed followers of a petty criminal and would-be rock star to brutally murder actress Sharon Tate and other innocent victims that night in the Hollywood Hills? And was cult leader Charles Manson truly insane...or brillantly evil. -- On back of video jackets.
