Serial killers, mass murderers, spree killers, outlaws, and
real-life homicidal maniacs have long held a grim fascination for
both filmmakers and viewers. Since the 1970s, hundreds of films and
television movies have been made covering killer from Charles
Manson to Ted Bundy and the Zodiac Killer creating a uniquely
morbid sub-genre within horror and thrillers. This collection of
interviews sheds light on 17 filmmakers and screenwriters who
tackled this controversial subject while attempting to explore the
warped world of infamous killers. The interviews include John
McNaughton (Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer), Tom Hanson (The
Zodiac Killer), David Wickes (Jack the Ripper), Chris Gerolmo
(Citizen X), Chuck Parello (The Hillside Stranglers), David
Jacobson (Dahmer) and Clive Saunders on his ill-fated experience
directing Gacy. Offering candid insights into the creative process
behind these movies, the interviews also show the pitfalls and
moral controversy the filmmakers had to wrestle with to bring their
visions to the screen.
