The depraved crimes of both real and imagined serial killers and mass
murderers have long transfixed us in newspapers and books, but perhaps
nowhere more so than on the big screen. Films such as Silence of the
Lambs, Psycho, and Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer have not only
reached huge audiences, but also allowed us into the minds of society's
most disturbed individuals. Christopher Berry-Dee talks to the serial
killers whose wicked stories have most thrilled and fascinated us at the
movies and, through far-ranging and disturbing interviews, he tells the
stories of the mass murderers who provided the inspiration for some of
cinema's most shocking films. Serial Killers at the Movies takes the
reader on an uncomfortable and truly dark journey into a terrifying
world of murder and deviancy.
