I remember reading a ton of stuff on Jack the Ripper, and the theories that lead to the royal family, or to the secret society of the free masons. Or a disgruntled butcher with Syphillis.
But the one thing that remained true was that The Ripper was a true urban legend, he was never caught, and he taunted the police with hideous notes (one that was real). He was what modern society based the boogy man on. He was the thump outside of the window.
Now he's a hairdresser, a modern day Sweeny Todd. Its a huge letdown.
