Infamous serial killer John Wayne Gacy was born on March 17, 1942, in Chicago, Illinois. He was the son of John Stanley Gacy and Marion Elaine Robinson. Gacy and his siblings grew up with a drunken father who would beat his children if he believed they had misbehaved in someway.

In a movie this kind of emotional wear and tear seems to make our characters stronger and they grow from it and become great and important people in most cases however if we take off the blinders of Hollywood we can see how this kind of abuse has repeatedly caused individuals develop serious personality
