Abstract
Serial killers have always attracted people’s attention. The media is a key element in shaping human perception around serial killers and it often portrays them as monsters to capture the attention of the entire society. The media’s focus is on their lives and the heinous crimes they have committed, which leads to the creation of numerous stereotypes and distorted social perceptions about them. But the media portrayal can go in a completely different direction by romanticizing and glorifying serial killers, which most often leads people to feel sympathy for them. Numerous films and series contribute to such media representation. In addition to films, true crime documentaries are also becoming popular, which aim to educate viewers but also entertain them through various investigative methods and facts related to serial killers and their victims. This paper aims to raise awareness about the acts committed by serial killers and to show their portrayal in the media throughout their lives, and even after their death. Although the media has a responsibility to inform the public about serial killers, while developing awareness of possible dangers, it is also important for the media to establish boundaries between realistic portrayals and portrayals that sensationalize serial killers.
