...Why is this a thing?

Best way to explain it is to know that psychiatrists cannot diagnose sociopathy in teenagers; you've gotta be at least 21 to get that diagnosis. Teenagers are essentially sociopaths due to brain chemistry and personality formation. The serial killer AU is common from teen writers because it is a classic teenage power fantasy expressed by a writer with incomplete empathy. With lots of fanficcers (if not the majority) being teenagers that is why it is a thing.

because blood/violence has an exotic allure in fiction to some people

plus the temptation of the forbidden, the shaving of a character by extraneous circumstances to see what is left behind, and the relative "safe" way of expressing and exploring ideas that are frowned upon but that most people (teenagers and young adults, in particular) are curious about (not that they would necessary reenact these in real life, they just want to assimilate these ideas in a more familiar context to better understand them)
