It’s been a month of Ted Bundy on Murder Made Fiction, but we’re not quite done with the notorious serial killer of women just yet. After kicking things off with a primer (listen), Jenn and I tackled Matthew Bright’s sleazy 2002 entry (listen), as well as former Disney star Zac Efron’s turn in Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil, and Vile (listen).

Now we’re comparing and contrasting as another teen heartthrob takes a walk on the dark side. In director Daniel Farrands‘ film Ted Bundy: American Boogeyman (2021), former One Tree Hill star Chad Michael Murray tries his hand at playing the notorious killer…to mixed results.

In the film, Bundy is in the midst of his 70s killing spree, which ranges from Utah to Florida over the course of several years. Hot on his heels are Detective Kathleen McChesney (Teen Wolf‘s Holland Roden) and FBI profiler Robert Ressler...

Daniel Farrands, writer of 1995’s Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers, continues his recent meander through American “killer” culture with Ted Bundy: American Boogeyman which, once again, tells the story of one of America’s most notorious and charismatic serial killers.

Chad Michael Murray, best known for his roles in One Tree Hill and more recently Riverdale plays the notorious serial killer alongside horror icon Lin Shaye playing Bundy’s mother; as well as Holland Roden (Teen Wolf) and Jake Hays who makes his feature length film debut.

The first trailer for Ted Bundy: American Boogeyman has One Tree Hill and Riverdale star Chad Michael Murray stalking and killing as the infamous serial killer. Delivering his lines with a gravelly voice and a constantly changing hair and moustache style, Murray is clearly hoping to leave the soft-edged heartthrob persona to one side and instead liken himself as much as possible to the monster who was once dubbed The Campus Killer.

Deatiling the murders themsevles as well as the race to catch him, a specter roams the highways of a gritty and decadent 1970s America in Ted Bundy: American Boogeyman. Hunting for his next prey-his name is Ted Bundy (Chad Michael Murray), and tracking him down are the intrepid female detective Kathleen McChesney (Holland Roden), working out of the Seattle Police bureau, and rookie FBI profiler Robert Ressler (Jake Hays), the government agent who coined the term "serial killer.

"No man is truly innocent." Dark Star Pictures has released the official US trailer for an indie thriller titled Ted Bundy: American Boogeyman, the latest feature film made by murder-obsessed filmmaker Daniel Farrands. Why do we need more Ted Bundy movies?! We've seen enough, too many of them recently (including No Man of God as well). Chad Michael Murray stars in this as Bundy, along with Lin Shaye, Jake Hays, Marietta Melrose, and Holland Roden. The film focuses on the extensive FBI manhunt to find and apprehend "America's most infamous serial killer," around the time he was down in Florida killing more people. Scary stuff, as always. But this doesn't look it has much to offer that we haven't already seen.

There's not much to this brief teaser trailer, but we want to feature it anyway in order to put this little film on you radar while they finish it up before release. Night Run is an 80s throwback horror action thriller made by filmmaker Erick Solis, already filmed and heading into post-production now. It was crowdfunded on Indiegogo and they're trying to finish it up and get it ready for release sometime soon. Described as a "supernatural Death Wish" of sorts, this is about a construction worker who resurrects on Halloween night looking for the men that murdered him a year before. The rad synth score in this teaser is by Crockett, and I can't wait to hear more of it. The cast includes Tyler Cole, Jake Hays, Cameron Tagge, and Rebecca Weaver. We'll be keeping an eye on this project and watching out for more updates/trailers as they arrive.
