Answer 8

for gruesome, Jeffery Dalhmer. He would EAT parts of his victims

Answer 9

My favorite is Vlad Tepes. He also goes by Vlad Dracul, Vlad the Impaler

He would kill his victims by torture, disembowel them, or his most popular and infamous way was impaling (driving a long sharpened stake through the unfortunate victim's body). One end of the stake would enter through the r****m and would find it's way through the mouth or chest. It comes out through the chest/mouth after hours/days of the other end of the stake being placed firmly into the ground. The victim is in a vertical position with the stake up his butt and so pressure would cause the victim to slide down,with the stake penetrating farther up the body.

He was the inspiration for Bram Stoker's Dracula

Oh, also, Elizabeth Bathory. She killed and drained hundreds of young virgin ladies of their blood. Elizabeth was convinced that bathing in virgin's blood would keep her young forever. It obviously didn't work.
