when they introduced it at Wacken Open Air Festival this year (the modern day equivalent of Monsters Of Rock) they said something along the lines of 'you'll know this song, even if you're busy slashing up prostitutes in dark alleyways', hence, Jack the Ripper
He is better than Freddy Krueger (see my other comment), because he is an old classic, and slashers are cannon fodder when compared to the old classics.
@Snyarhedir Man, Jack The Ripper actually existed.He was a british serial-killer of the nineteenth century. Go search it on wikipedia.And yes, he is a great horror classic.
Am I the only one whom this song reminds of Freddy Krueger? Think about it: "I am a bastard son conceived of a hundred men..." (I am not too sure about the rest of it, but I think that it fits a least partly.)
Man, all this time, I thought this song was about Jack Tripper from "Three's Company"...I'm kinda bummed now.

@sskk666 The Nightmare Before Christmas was an awesome movie
but it is really stupid that he would say that this is about that Jack
considering Jack The Ripper was/is an actual murderer from England
