And of course Edmond Bancroft from "Horrors of the Black Museum" (1959). There's just something about a true-crime author who is sufficiently industrious (and psychopathic) to go out and drum up business on his own, so to speak.
My favorite scene? When the antique-store lady tries to blackmail him, while he's standing there with a very large, sharp pair of ice tongs.
You just knew how that was going to end- with the antique lady earning a Darwin Award. "Congratulations, Ma'am, you have just proven yourself Too Stupid To Live."
Requiscat im pace, sir.
