  • Complete Monster, from the US series:
    • "Pilot": Ronald Hinks is a predatory Serial Killer of children. A psychopath since he was a boy, Hinks let his friend drown in an icy pond just to see what it felt like. As he grew up, Hinks became obsessed with recreating the death to an even greater extreme and used his wealth to create a completely airtight, soundproof room, before abducting children and locking them in until they died, killing at least two as well as numerous untold others. Hinks abducted three additional boys in the present and did everything he could to thwart Detective David Creegan's investigation by posing as a fake witness, eventually proving to be so evil that an investigating officer shot him dead when it looked like he would get away with his crimes.
    • "Slash 30": Jeremy Carver is an animalistic psychopath with a violent hatred of women. Hell-bent on repaying women for a perceived lifetime of rejection, Carver began murdering any who snubbed him by violently assaulting them and them snapping their neck, claiming at least 10 lives. Approached by a corrupt journalist named Stephan Laney, the two men concoct a plan: Carver will become a Serial Killer called the "Hangman", and Laney in turn will make him famous by creating sensational headlines about him. Eagerly agreeing, Carver went on to kill at least six other women by abducting them, psychologically torturing them by dangling them from their neck at a high height, and then hanging them with a noose, only being stopped by the team after gleefully murdering his ex-girlfriend and then boasting about his crimes.
    • "Grief": Dr. Warren Robbins, appearing to be a friendly, empathetic grief counselor, is a sadistic Serial Killer sexually aroused by grief. Embittered by social rejection, Robbins decided to take revenge on men he deemed more successful than him and get sexual satisfaction in the process. Warren strangled and cut the hearts out of six women before leaving them in a place where their husbands would find them, breaking them psychologically so that Warren could gain sexual satisfaction from their trauma. Doing this to a seventh woman while Creegan and his team investigated, Warren ingratiated himself with them solely to brag about his crimes and cover his activities, before attempting to stab Rivers to death when Robbins suspected Rivers knew what he was doing.
