I'm doing a paper on this guy, and I know there are people here who know crazy shit, so i'm wondering if you guys know any obscure stuff about him, that you wouldn't find on every site about him. I appreciate it.

One interesting fact that I found funny:

 

When Chicago businessman John Wayne Gacy was exposed in December 1978 as a sadistic homosexual serial killer it came as a seismic shock to his neighbours, friends and business associates.

 

It was also deeply embarrassing for the Democratic Party of President Jimmy Carter as Gacy was an enthusiastic supporter who had been photographed with the First Lady, Rosalyn Carter.

XPW had a wrestler named Pogo the Clown (Gacy's alter ego) with a finishing move called Buried in the Basement. Rob Black was one sick motherfucker.

The cover art for Acid Bath's album When The Kite String Pops is a painting Gacy drew in prison of Pogo the Clown.

DL the song about him by Sufjan Stevens. Creepy as fuck.

Sufjan Stevens doesn't have it in him to be creepy.

I think he was one of the rare serial killers not produced by the weird state of Wisconsin.

[Guest Arnold_OldSchool]

He was in Illinois. Blame lake Michigan.

If I Recall Pogo also had "Final Nail in the Coffin" & "Buried in the Basement" Rob Black you are Sick that's why i admire you

Aside from the serial murder, he was a fine man, reknown for his charity work and holiday theme parties. A pleasure to know, by all accounts.

Unlike Ted Bundy, this upstanding public persona was likely more an expression of duality than a calculated facade. As such, I don't think the Carters should have been too embarrassed.

It's hard to take that 'aside' seriously though, I mean that was such a huge part of his life really.

 

A&E had a really good biography on him, I don't know if you could d/l it though. I've been looking for their eps of City Confidential and American Justice online to no avail. If anyone knows a good torrent site to find any of the three shows I mentioned, that would be great since that is one of the few shows I like and I don't really have a TV at this point.
