Don't focus too much on dialogue with an insane person. Make him do things. Pace back and forth continually, whispering to himself. Laughing, crying, or being downright scary. Make him scream, jump around, get excited over acts of violence, such as murder, or torture. I am a rookie writer at the age of fourteen, and my sister's boyfriend is a horror writer. I get most of my knowledge from him, as he got me into the genre. But don't be afraid to "let him go" a little bit. Let him injure someone very badly, but not kill them. Let him BE lethal. Let him BE destructive. Let him BE who he is. Truly, without a doubt, criminally insane.
