Anna Kendrick Starring In True Crime Movie ‘Rodney & Sheryl’

If you are true crime fan odds are you’ve heard about serial killer Rodney Alcala. In 1978, during one of his most lethal years, the killer took the time to appear on “The Dating Game” where host Jim Lange introduced him as a “successful photographer.” Alcala was even chosen as the winner of that episode by Cheryl Bradshaw, luckily the woman decided not to go out with him because she got creepy vibes. That may have been the best decision of her life. His appearance on the cringe-worthy series earned him the nickname “The Dating Game Killer.” Up-and-coming filmmaker Chloe Okuno is making a name for herself in the horror genre.

The Serial Killer That Used Mind Control

When you hear of a serial killer, you automatically picture a deranged individual not afraid to get their hands dirty and get up close and personal with their victims. In movies we see a lot of killers so evil that they are capable of getting others to kill for them, thus keeping their hands clean of the crime…that’s just fantasy, right? In Japan, where major crimes are so rare that they don’t make national news, but one criminal, though not talked about much in the media anymore, is engrained in the public consciousness, Futoshi Matsunaga, the infamous Mind Control Killer. By clinical standards, Matsunaga is the perfect example of a Psychopath, someone who feels no remorse or emotion when it comes to right and wrong, since he was young he stood out from his peers as he was very social, gifted with a silver tongue it seems and was a disciplinary problem in high school. At 19 he married and
