I hate even posting this despicable man's picture. John Wayne Gacy was one of the most prolific serial killers in United States history, having assaulted and murdered at least 33 people. His murders would include rape, torture, asphyxiation, or strangling with a garrote, then he would bury them under a crawl space in his own house. Imagine how absolutely sick you must be to actually live with your victims under your feet. He would lure his victims from bars and nightclubs, buying them drinks and "schmoozing" them before taking them home and showing a "magic trick", trapping them in handcuffs. A totally unremorseful monster of a human being, Gacy would work as a clown, mostly under the name Pogo, and actually perform in front of children at fundraisers and children's hospitals. Gacy had operated for 6 years before capture, and some of his victims are actually still unidentified to this day. In prison, he would paint constantly (claimed to be meant to bring joy to people's lives, uh huh), and learned law in attempt to appeal his sentencing. His last words: "Kiss my ass." Yeah, what a fucking amazing capstone to your loathsome life. Gacy was the inspiration for some of Pennywise's characterization, especially in 1990's IT, and as well as some films you're more likely to find hidden in a dumpster in some back alley than any DVD store. One part of his painting, "Pogo in the Making", was also used as the cover art for the infamous Acid Bath album "When the Kite String Pops", a much sought after underground classic and a landmark in sludge metal that is an actually incredible listen. We can't change what Gacy did, but hopefully it's the memories of all those he killed that live on longer than he does. Serial killers like him are just an unfortunate part of reality, and it's a reminder that horror doesn't and never existed solely in fiction.
