Thanks for the compliments, Adam.
Regarding your story idea, I can't tell you if you have a good recipe for a story there. I should probably have a better understanding of its treatment before I suggest anything, but I'll just say this anyway: if you want tension, I think you will need to make an effort to develop sympathy for the male victims. Otherwise, it may just be an exercise in schadenfreude- punishing shallow douchy stereotypical men. In that case you would be rooting for the killer, which may not make for a bad story, but you would lose a sense of danger in doing so. That approach would make for a better black comedy. However, if you want a horror story, make your reader care for those whom you place in harm's way.
