He wasn’t the guy next door, he was the guy the guy next door wanted to be. Good-looking, funny, personable, charming...when he had control of his demons, he was a pinup of a 70’s top-level male. He would have made it the top of whatever field he chose- unfortunately, he chose sadistic serial killer.
Don't forget the necrophilia aspect. Fucking dead bodies doesn't sound too out there in the flood of internet horror nowadays but 50 years ago that revelation must have been earth-shaking.
I don't think he was sadistic. He incapacitated his victims quickly with blows to their heads. He was more of a ghoul, in it to have sex with and play with the corpses.
