It would depend on your criteria of 'worst'. If you judge by body count there are killers whoose victims number in the hundreds. There are very cruel an sadistic killers that enjoy the tortured screams of their victims. Or the most well-known and recognizable, of which there are many. Here's a list of killers that usually make the top of most people's lists of serial killers.
Countess Erszebet Bathory of Romania killed as many as 600 young girls in the early 1600's. Jeffrey Dahmer aka the Cannibal from Wisconsin preformed horrible and painful experiments on his victims before either killing them or they died on their own from these experiments. Ted Bundy and John Wayne Gacy, although compared to other serial killers their victim lists were much shorter, were evil incarnate, with a benign exterior to mask it. London's Jack The Ripper brutalized his victims in such a way they were unrecognizable to even family members.

∙ 14y agoIn modern American history there would be a toss up between Ted Bundy who is thought to have murdered 200 to 300 women. He was convicted of 16 murders but there is outstanding circumstantial evidence of more.
On the other hand you have Gary Leon Ridgway (Green River Killer) who claimed at leas 48 victims on record. Circumstantial evidence says 71 victims but they can't pin him.
In the world it would be Christman Gniperdoliga who killed 964 men between the years 1568-1581.

∙ 13y agoI guess it depends on your definition of 'worst'. For body count Countess Erszebet Bathory may the most prolific with a total of over 600 victims, most young girls that were sent to her from the nearby villiage. The Wisconsin serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer was one of the cruelist, experimenting on his victims while still alive. Ted Bundy may be one of the scariest, using his handsome face and gift of gab, not to mention his higher than average IQ, to hide the monster inside. But the most famous has to be Jack The Ripper. What he did to his victims is almost beyond belief. Mary Kelly's mutilation is one of the worst of all time. When he was finished with her she was unrecognizable. Her most current lover identified her by her hair. There was almost nothing left of her. Every organ she was born with except her brain had been removed and layed beside her body. The killer took her heart.

Can serial killers be caused by bad areas?
If you mean a bad neighborhood, no. Many people live in rough neighborhoods, have little money, are abused as children, ect., and still do not become serial killers. There is still much to learn about this kind of killer but a deprived childhood and bad neighborhood will not in and of itself be the cause of serial murder. What is known is this. A combination of bad genes, childhood abuse, and unknown factors are responsible for the modern serial killer. And still there are killers that do not fit the mold. Jeffrey Dahmer is a very good example. Dahmer had two parents that loved him, a middle class upbringing, no abuse that he would admit to and still Dahmer was one of the worst serial killers of modern times. Even Dahmer himself was at a loss as to his behaviour. There have been great strides into the minds of serial killers but there is still much to learn from them. There is always the hope that with understanding there will be a way to predict and ultimately prevent all serial murder.

"Thrill killers" enjoy terrorizing the community and lashing back at society. The "greed killer" wants money, like the landlady who murders her renters and then cashes their checks. "pedophiliac killers" murder the children they have sex with, usually young boys, to get rid of the witnesses. Then they grow to enjoy killing as much as sex, as "freeway killer" William Bonin did. "Black widow serial killers" are often women who use poison to murder husbands or children, often for control or money. The Unabomber is an example of a "missionary serial killer" who murders for what he believes is a holy cause. The 1980s had seen an increase in serial murders across the country, especially those that involved uniquely gruesome details.
