Aileen Wuornos is an American serial killer made famous when Charlize Theron portrayed her in an Oscar winning performance for the movie "Monster". Pictured below is the motel she was living in at the time of her murder spree. Room #7, at the time is was numbered as 9 and was under different ownership. The new management cleaned up the place in an attempt to distance itself from it's seedy past, ironically making it more inviting for the dark tourist set.

The Last Resort biker bar down the street where Wournos was arrested has not changed since then and embraces its connection to the serial killer. Hands down the seediest dive bar I have ever set foot in, and I like to think of myself as a connoisseur of dives. We met the owner. We were told he was 70 or maybe 88 by the newest waitress on staff. Despite appearances, it was a very friendly place.

Inside the bar they play Monster nonstop.

Morbid curiosity got the best of us for this side trip. Well worth the stop.
