In the spring of 1946, the sleepy community of Texarkana would be rudely shocked awake by a series of murders. The killer struck, usually couples who had hidden away in isolated "Lover's Lanes". The press popularly called them the "Moonlight Murders" to have the evocative alliteration element; there was no moon when this monster walked.Several theories have evolved about who the killer was who terrorized the community. They have ranged from a college student who committed suicide to it being the Zodiac Killer.
A new movie revisits the 1970's cult classic, The Town That Dreaded Sundown, for its usual "let's find a popular film, remake it and use all the classic stereotypes, add some spicy elements, and have a winner!" Many facts in the film do not reflect the facts of the cases involved, many elements of the case are still unclear, and as a result there is probably a better need for a documentary that truly explores the case, the theories, and the facts.
