Would you live in a house that a serial killer once lived in?

Sure!
It’d be a pretty novel story to tell your guests – and chances are it’s really well-kept if he/she was meticulous about keeping things neat and clean…

yeah but what about jeffrey dahmers home?

Well, I’d want the grounds thoroughly searched before…...but once all that’s done and dusted – what a novelty!

As long as they weren’t the type to keep victims stashed in the house or on the property, I wouldnt have a problem living in their house,
I’d hate to be doing some remodeling or something and find a surprise body

I don’t think I would. It would creep me out too much.

I would avoid it. I wouldn’t really have a problem if a person died in the house. The serial killer thing is a turn-off.

it would not bother me as long as the killer was gone.

It would creep me out. Not to mention I’d constantly be wondering if he ever hid anything weird anywhere.

Depends on how nice the house is !! :-)

Just switch out any freezers, and burn some sage in there and you should be good to go.

If there was a possibility of finding bits and pieces, then no. Otherwise, sure.

The house would not bother me, however the creepo’s who want to see where Jeffrey Dahmers lived and driving by at all hours to get a glance…..that would bother me.

Thank goodness that “Realtor’s” require full disclosure…...
Plus let’s hope the killer did a change of address…
And you don’t resemble this guy (the killer) in appearance. Would hate to think someone this guy pissed off saw you mowing the lawn and took out some perverted revenge….

God no. Bad vibes man, bad vibes…

but think how good a price you’d get it for…

well, you could turn it into a museum…....charge a small fee for people to come look at it. Set it up with some dusty furniture, paint the walls to look like someone was executed right on the wall. Have posters of serial killers and invite the press do a news report, but yeah don’t live in it

My nightmares are bad enough, although it might be an interesting angle for picking up all the Goth babes.

hahaha…..yes, decorate with coffins and what have you…..just in case you find some bodies, you’ll have a place for them – and in the meantime you could use them for…..other things.

it all depends…. If I was living there by myself, hell no… But if I was living there with friends of family.. Sure!

The way I see it…..I don’t know what previous tenants in my current house (or previous ones) got up to…...for all I know this scenario could already be true….

I know the last place I lived, before I could move in, the place had been fumigated because the previous tenant had caused so much smoke damage….

decorate the place with coffins…....are you out of your mind!! in the mean time used them for something else like…..... hmmmm A bookshelf….. no, potted plants….. hmmm

many people do…..goth isn’t everyone’s taste, but it’s one idea..

Under the circumstances, I wouldn’t really be able to keep my taxidermy, which would suck.

lol…...who knows, you might not have to look too far for new subjects for your taxidermy :)

Pseudo creepy is fine but creepy creepy is too creep sauce. Besides, who wants to get possessed? I have better things to do with my weekends.

Wouldn’t get possessed…....it’d be like Weekend at Bernies!

having a dancing dead guy?

why not make the most of the situation…?

you’ve made a valid point. I do love that movie. Perhaps if its a serial killer’s home in a tropical setting?

There ya go. The question didn’t say it had to be a windy hilltop. It could be a beach house.

You mean it’s not near a cemetery, with boarded up windows?

Isn’t that the only scenario in which a serial killer could come into being? Right?

Yes, a place with a dungeon-like basement.

A serial killer would choose a house well camouflaged with trees around, near the beach would be cool so he would just get on a boat at midnight and feed the sharks. It would have to have a good size basement, some hidden closets, removable floors, good size patio all well suited for its purpose. This is a good hideout for our friend http://www.axis-of-aevil.org/photos/finland_082001/finnish_house.jpg

@Ed- That’s so Kathy Bates/Misery!!!

-A total serial killer house. Where was the wood chipper and the separate freezer? This might be a new way to describe a house. “Hey man, whatttaya think of the new pad?”
“It’d very ‘serial killer’, just look at the closet that leads to the basement…”

@peedub Did you see the den on the side of the house? That would be for a killer freezer, huh!! the wood chipper…..hmmmm.

Creepy!

That house is creepy? I was thinking more like ‘what a lovely summer cottage’.......

@wildflower It does look like a nice cottage from afar; once you are inside you will notice the difference. Then you wouldn’t be saying: “what a lovely summer cottage….”

Wildflower, I’ve seen the inside, trust me on this one. If you don’t believe me, go to Austria yourself.

Austria or Finland? I’m confused now…
The pic above looks like your average Swedish/Finnish house…..

No Austria, haven’t you seen the news lately.
don’t think I don’t know you’re trying to dis the Fins again

I’ve seen that – but what’s that got to do with that quaint Finnish cottage?
and of course I am, but I don’t need an excuse, they’re mad enough to warrant it anytime

haha- Murder by Sauna!

Did you know they have a disturbing habit of pouring vodka on the sauna stove? I’d say that’s pretty dangerous territory…..
