A serial killer who blamed his Friday The 13th-inspired fake lover, Jason for his gruesome slayings has jokingly regailed tales of his sick spree while behind bars.
Former cinema owner, Peter Moore is currently serving a life sentence at HMP Wakefield, dubbed Monster Mansion, because of the high-profile psychopaths that languish there.
Insiders say he was mates with “Dr Death,” Harold Shipman who killed hundreds of his patients, and regularly made jokes about attacking a couple.

Moore murdered four men in cold blood in 1995 in a campaign of terror across North Wales and Merseyside.
He blamed the deaths of John Henry Roberts, Edward Carthy, Keith Randles and Anthony Davies on a homosexual lover whom he called Jason, after the killer in the Friday the 13th horror films.
In a new book released earlier this week called Inside Wakefield Prison: Life Behind Bars in the Monster Mansion, authors Jonathan Levi and Dr Emma French lift the lid on the secrets of the jail after talking to officers and ex-prisoners.
They say Moore “makes a big deal of joking about his crimes” including a terrifying attack on a couple he tied up.
When the man begged him not to attack his wife, Moore told him: “Sir, how dare you, I’m not here for her, it’s you I want.”

Other sadistic claims made by the sex predator included that one of his victims “ran around like a headless chicken” after being decapitated and that his head was “kicked around like a football.”
Moore – a respectable businessman by a day – was dubbed The Man in Black due to the dark leather clothes he wore whilst stalking his prey at night.
Visiting night clubs or isolated spots where gay men hung out for anonymous sexual encounters, he’d choose upon whom to carry out his frenzied attacks.
During one of the killings, he wore a Nazi-style peaked cap then took a swastika flag from one victim’s home as a trophy.

Moore told officers that killing people was a stress release, the bank having been threatening to foreclose on several of his businesses at the time.
A search of his home uncovered various sadomasochistic paraphernalia and traces of blood on the walls.
Asked how he felt about the deaths, he said: “I was pleased – I set out to do a job and it was a job well done.
“I did it for fun.”
Moore was jailed for life in 1996 with a recommendation that he is never released. He challenged the ruling in 2011 but his appeal failed in 2012.
He is now 77 and remains locked up in Monster Mansion alongside the likes of April Jones’ murderer Mark Bridger and paedophile Lost Prophets singer Ian Watkins.
Inside Wakefield Prison: Life Behind Bars In The Monster Mansion by Jonathan Levi and Emma French is out now.
