H. H. Holmes, a real life movie monster seems to have inspired a movie genre.
Funny that Jack the Ripper takes center stage when it comes to the 19th century. Holmes, operating only a decade later, is hardly ever mentioned. Although he was much more prolific and certainly much more sophisticated. Hell, he designed a whole hotel with the sole purpose of murder and disposal of victims in mind.
Just to inspire movies like "Hostel".
