Killer legends

[charliemartin]

Netflix has a documentary called Killer Legends currently showing. First segment is about the Texarkana Phantom of 1946. Not suggesting it has any connection to Z as it was long ago but it is interesting in that crimes committed were very similar in a lot of instances. Worth a look even just because it is interesting story.

I previously mentioned it on here.

I watched a pretty good documentary called "Killer Legends" about the real crime origins of popular urban legends. I think I watched it on Hulu, but it might be on Netflix too.

One of the segments is about the Texarkanna Phantom and it talks about the original movie version "The Town That Dreaded Sundown" and the upcoming? remake that has been discussed on the forum.

Also The Town... remake is on netflix. But I think morf or someone saw it and said it was not good.

It isn't really a remake - it's more of a tribute slash (pun intended) sequel. The newer movie isn't set in 1946 - but in the present.

Pretty standard slasher stuff, apart from the twist coming from the tribute/sequel/meta...thing. Not horribly bad for the genre, but then again the genre isn't really one for...well, really good movies (not in my opinion anyway - I do like horror movies, but not so much this particular sort).
