There are over a hundred of different animal species out there and yet the cruelest animal of all is man. Man has a very manipulative mindset that animals could not even begin to comprehend. Animals physically hurt their prey, while humans hurt their own kind mentally and physically. We watch TV shows such as Criminal Minds and Dexter that show how cruel one person can truly be. We watch those shows for entertainment, but what we fail to comprehend is that there are people out there who are really just that cruel.

Dracula even means “little devil”, his name even shows you how evil this man is. He is known for the way he would torture his innocent victims. The most common method he would use is impalement.

The stake was often inserted in the body through the buttocks and would be forced through the rest of the body till it emerged from the victims’ mouth. He would sit around the dead naked corpse with a stake through them and eat his food. Even though impalement is what Vlad Dracula is known for he would also torture his victims in other ways as well. In fact, one of the cruelest things he did was roast children and makes the parents of the child eat the remains. Now if that doesn’t show you how cruel this man is then I’m not sure what will.

She wouldn’t just kill them, she would put the girls’ blood on her skin because she believed it made her fresher and look younger. Many of the girls she killed were
