Dean: The Zodiac?
Sam: Seven victims.
Dean: No. Bass fishing, needlepoint ...that's a hobby, okay? Collecting serial-killer stats ...that's ...that is an illness.
Dean: Dahmer?
Sam: 17.
Dean: That's some freaky stuff, man. It's a whole new side of you.
Sam: It's called true crime, Dean. It's a hobby.
Serial killer is a term generally used to describe someone who commits three or more murders at different times, and usually committed in different places. The term is used in this sense in Supernatural in relation to humans, although many vengeful spirits and demons would also fit this definition. In fact, Bela Talbot even refers to Sam and Dean as serial killers.
Sam Winchester is fascinated with serial killers. In 10.14 The Executioner's Song, Dean quizzes him on the murder statistics of different serial killers. In 11.05 Thin Lizzie, when Sam finds a case in the Lizzie Borden House and is keen to investigate, Dean says: "This has something to do with your freaky fetish for serial killers."
In 14.03 The Scar, Jody says that she had thought a serial killer was responsible for a series of deaths, and Sam states that it would be the first one in South Dakota since Robert Leroy Anderson, demonstrating his knowledge of true crime. Dean gives him a mocking look.
In the process of finding his family's murderer, Nick becomes a budding serial killer; at first only killing the people involved around the death's of his wife and infant son, but begins to have urges to kill innocent people.
