EVIL LUCY

Evil Lucy was born on April 18, 1982 in Santa Fe De Bogota, Colombia- South America, and soon relocated to the United States in 1984. She spent the majority of her life in Jackson Heights Queens, New York. She is a guitarist who has played for such bands as Vulgaras and Slaywhore *an all girl female Slayer cover band*. Aside being a guitarist, she is also a fire eater, stand up comedienne, and sword swallower and has traveled on both coasts wowing audiences with her death defying skills. In July of 2005 she starred in a 15 minute B-Movie called: “Satan and Baby’s Wild Bikini Beach Party” where she played the role of Satan in this fun spoof of 50’s Beach Movies with a Macabre twist filmed on location at Coney Island, Brooklyn New York.  

A dedicated Satanist, and all around nice girl, Evil Lucy left New York City for San Diego, California on Friday July 13, 2007, when she was asked to audition for Elvira’s Reality TV Show: “Search for the next Elvira”, she got to meet “The Mistress of the Dark” and made Elvira blush (that’s right blush!) when she swallowed a 10 inch curved Turkish Kukri blade on one of America’s most haunted places: “The Queen Mary”. Evil Lucy first started writing at age 14, when her English teacher encouraged her, since then her writing has been described as “a Diane Arbus painting come to life”  

Evil Lucy is now a writer for Serial Killer Magazine, and is currently writing a book on her life as a musician in the NYC Rock Scene, Sideshow performer and Satanist, but as with anything there’s a twist. Evil Lucy is dead, and the book will be about her life and the spectators that were rubbernecking to get a good view. From Mafia bosses to beautiful Burlesque performers, this book will have it all.  Stay tuned!

Reel to Real : By Evil Lucy 

The credo of “Sex Sells’ might soon be something of the past. 

As humans we do things to bring out our emotions, we watch movies, we read books and magazines, listen to music. As human animals we have ways of relieving boredom or feed a morbid appetite that we may have. Case in point. Hollywood “caters” to the dark desires of those of us who like things about Serial Killers, be it their charisma, their dark side, or their utter contempt for a society that would detain them. Serial Killers, Psychopaths, Mass Murderers, FBI profilers such as Robert Ressler who coined the term: “Serial Killer” and writes many books on the subject, and let’s not forget the books of atrocities that make the mind seethe.  

Did you know that there are more books written about Jack The Ripper than Abraham Lincoln? 

Movies about Serial Killers are as old as Westerns, and have as many followers, they’re just not your good ol’ boys who like to watch the Duke with beer and a bowl of pork rinds, the genre of murder films/horror has many fans, from an educated business person, to your kid who likes to draw inverted crosses while listening to Slayer. What this piece will concentrate on is the Serial Killer appeal that Hollywood uses. The epic book: “The Silence of the Lambs” was written by Thomas Harris, in which the protagonist, an educated doctor of Psychology, Dr. Hannibal Lector, is detained for hideous crimes reminiscent of Ed Gein. Lector is used to try and catch a killer named Buffalo Bill, who kills many young women to use their skin as a costume, in vain to make him a woman. Other movies that center on Ed Gein are: “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” and “Psycho”, the plot of the “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” is that of a psychotic madman who kills people and stitches their skin into masks, In Alfred Hitchcock’s “Psycho”, it goes in another less gory yet psychologically more provocative way, the character, a wimpy little nerd who dotes on his Mother, would stalk women in the shower of the motel that he owned, while wearing his Mother’s clothes and kills his victims’ in the shower. Oh did I mention that Norman Bates (the star of Psycho) was doting on his Mom’s corpse which was in a rocking chair? I didn’t? Silly Me! 

Now while these books and later movies were incredible, it was not original. They are loosely based on Ed Gein of Plainfield, Wisconsin who horrified his little town. Ed Gein was a grave robber who came from an emotionally stunted background complete with abusive Father and overbearing Mother. Gein’s father was a vicious alcoholic and due to this found himself unemployed very often. Augusta Gein was a religious fanatic that acted as if her husband wasn’t there, and shielded Ed and his older brother, George, from the horrors of the world, and espoused that sex was an act for procreation, women (outside of Augusta Gein) were nothing but whores, sluts, and prostitutes who used their sex to ruin God’s Earth. The boys scolded if they made friends outside of the house. Following the death of their Father, the Gein boys took on jobs to help support their Mother and the farm. Ed Gein would constantly try to look up to his brother and adopt his work ethic, this went OK for Gein, but Ed found that it was easier to baby sit because he could easily get along with children rather than people his own age. Ed Gein’s brother, Henry, died of a heart attack and left Ed and his Mother to go on without him. Two years later, Augusta Gein died of a series of strokes, and left poor Ed alone in the World. Ed was shattered by the loss of his Mother, and through his madness created his own World where women would pay for being harlots, whores, and prostitutes.  

Ed Gein began his Macabre new twist on life when he started grave robbing and using the deceased skin of the dearly departed as trophies and clothing.

Gein adorned his home with skulls, innards, and shrunken heads. Gein’s fascination with World War 2 also helped him implement the use of human skin for lampshades. It is possible if not fact that Gein’s upbringing turned him into a confused man with many sexual hang ups and it is suggested that Gein suffered from guilt of being a man and wished to be a woman. Gender Confusion. He would often contemplate cutting off his penis, and would use the skins of the dead to make a female costume, complete with female scalp and vaginas. Gein was only convicted of two deaths, but suspected in many more.  

Ed Gein alone has inspired scores of movies, books, and music. Slayer’s song “Dead Skin Mask” is about Gein, and in the background you can hear: “Mr. Gein this isn’t funny anymore, I don’t want to play”. One movie that does not do any justice or has any real attachment to Ed Gein is “Ed Gein The Butcher of Plainfield”. Released in 2007 this movie used many historical inaccuracies in their attempt to portray a true story of Ed Gein. Using the scapegoat of: “Based On a True Story” this movie is nothing but     Hollywood Candy. The story is smack with inaccuracies and in some twisted way try to show that Ed Gein had human compassion. To be fair the movie did portray Ed Gein’s religious zealot of a Mother right down to the demure, conservative woman that Augusta was. But aside that. Nothing in this movie lends to the facts that have been written about since the late 1960’s. Along with the above mentioned movies, and books, Ed Gein was also used in Brett Easton Ellis’s story: “American Psycho”. The story is about a handsome young man who goes on murder sprees, reminiscent of Ed Gein. However to give Ed Gein full credit to this book and later movie would be totally unfair. Two other notorious Serial Killers are used in this book, and their names were Ted Bundy, and Jeffrey Dahmer.  

American Psycho is set in the 1980’s, and follows the life of Patrick Bateman, a young, rich white man who has it all. Patrick has a great life, lives in NYC in the height of the materialistic 80’s, quite the “lady killer”. He uses his good looks, intellect and guile to lure young women into a night that they will never forget. Bateman ritualistically cuts open his female victims, decapitating them, causing torture to barely living females and even attempts to eat his victims. We can see the similarities of Ted Bundy, because Pat Bateman was very good looking and charming. And the cannibalism is one of the things that Jeffrey Dahmer was infamous for.

Couples Who Kill : By Evil Lucy 

What is Love?

Is it what comes after lust, and sexual yearnings as baser animal instincts within us as human beings? or is it just a reaction to eating mass amounts of chocolate?. Love is an experience that few people will be fortunate enough to ever encounter on their own. Though, we see it all around us, be it in the innocence of a child loving his/her cherished puppy or favourite stuffed animal, to the young lovers', as the boy carefully carves his and his sweetheart's initials on a tree.

People have gone through extraordinary lengths to prove their love, from painting exquisite masterpieces, and sculpting equally impressive statues, going to lame chick flicks, feigning interest in a basketball game. How many times have you the reader (yes I'm talking to you!) done things that either bored you to tears, or hated just because you heard: "Honey, I was thinking..."

One of the stories of love gone terribly wrong, is the story of Fred and Rosemary West who would commit some of the most atrocious and vile acts of the 20th Century.  Fred West was born in 1941, 120 miles away from London, England. West was born with beautiful blue eyes, and locks of golden blond hair. Despite the harshness of World War 2, Fred West enjoyed a very loving childhood, he had 6 siblings, and had admired his Father as a role model, he was his Mother's son, and young Fred would be classified as a very typical "Momma's Boy". The beautiful Aryan looking child soon grew to inherit his Mother's unfortunate looks, a gaping mouth, with giant teeth with a gap right in the middle; his blond locks turned a scruffy mane of brownish black hair. West, was a not a good student, would act out, just as children will do, and was canned as was the punishment at the time, but Mommy Dearest was always to the rescue, her rude mannerisms and obvious lack of social grace would drive her to go down to Fred's School and scream at the teacher who would discipline her son. The love a Mother has for her children is understandable, but at some point in time, the umbilical cord must be cut, to nurture a sense of independence that children need, and to not be sheltered. Since Fred saw no point in becoming an educated member of society he promptly dropped out of School at the impressionable young age of 15, and became a Farm hand. But at the age of 16, young Fred cleaned himself up and made himself appealing to girls, with raging hormones he would go after girls with a voracious appetite, and aggression that was to prelude to his darker self. When Fred was 17 years old, he was in a terrible motorcycle accident that left him in a coma for a week, and resulted in getting a metal plate in his head; his leg was crushed from the force of the accident and healed so that one leg was longer than the other one. After his recovery Fred met a pretty young 16 year old girl named Catherine Bernadette Costello, who was nicknamed Rena.

Rena wasn’t exactly an English Rose, as she was also in trouble with the law, by the time she met West, she was an experienced thief so it seemed like an ideal match for these two misfits to find one another. The love affair was quick, and when Rena went to Scotland.

Not to be derailed, he quickly turned his attention to other young women, and stuck his hand up a young lady’s skirt at a Youth Center, her reaction to this? she knocked him through a window. At age 20, Fred West was a convicted child molester and petty thief, his Family wanted nothing to do with him. In 1962, Fred's parents caved and let him come back to live with them at. That summer, his girlfriend Rena Costello came back from Scotland looked Fred up immediately. The two had found one another yet again, as the saying goes: “As thick as Thieves”.  Aside having been an experienced thief, Rena also had a record for prostitution.  Rena had had an affair with an Asian Bus driver, and was soon pregnant. Her and Fred decided to get married, and quickly wrote a letter to Rena’s parents stating that their child had died during child birth, and quickly adopted a mixed raced baby, this was a ploy to appease Rena’s racist parents. The West’s had a child, and her name was Charmaine.  

Their off again, on again marriage was beginning to dwindle. At the time, Fred was am ice cream truck driver where he could feed his pedophilic lusts, by leering at young girls. Fred’s marital indiscretions were enough to fuel Rena’s consequent filing for divorce. Fred who was free to tomcat around was incredibly possessive of Rena and Charmaine. Problems seemed to shadow West, he was in yet another accident which caused the death of a young man, while Fred was not found guilty, he was deeply troubled, and decided to pick and leave with his family, and a friend that he and his wife had made named, Anna McFall moved
