Yet another movie about the real-life murders of serial killer Ted Bundy is on the way, with Ted Bundy: American Boogeyman arriving in select theaters via Fathom Events next month.
The film will tell “the untold story of notorious killer Ted Bundy. A specter roams the highways of a gritty and decadent 1970s America, hunting for his next prey — his name is Ted Bundy (Chad Michael Murray). Tracking him is 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.” This is the true story behind the manhunt that brought America’s most fearsome boogieman to justice.”
Bloody Disgusting has an exclusive set of new images from the film that show Chad Michael Murray’s Ted Bundy going to pieces and also horror icon Lin Shaye (Insidious), among others.
The film was written and directed by Daniel Farrands (The Amityville Murders, The Haunting of Sharon Tate). Farrands also wrote Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers.
Fathom will release the film in select US theatres on August 16. It will then stalk VOD and DVD on September 3rd from Dark Star Pictures.
