In one of the most disturbing interviews ever captured on film, convicted serial killer Joseph Kallinger calmly admits that, given the opportunity, he would kill the interviewer sitting across from him.
With a chilling lack of emotion, Kallinger responds to the simple question — “Do you ever feel violent?” — with statements so disturbing they’ve continued to resurface across the internet for decades.
Kallinger, alongside his own 13-year-old son Michael, went on a terrifying crime spree in the 1970s. Over the course of their rampage, they committed multiple robberies, assaults, torture, and three brutal murders — including that of another child. What makes the case even more horrifying is that Kallinger involved his son in nearly every step.
He claimed that God had ordered him to commit the murders, and during his trial, his mental health became a central issue. He was ultimately diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia but was still found fit to stand trial. Joseph Kallinger was sentenced to life in prison, where he later died in 1996.
In the now-viral interview, his emotionless face and eerie calmness make the moment unforgettable. The fact that he could casually admit to wanting to kill again — even his own interviewer — is a terrifying glimpse into a truly disturbed mind.
