Ted Bundy was one of the world's most notorious serial killers, responsible for the deaths of over 30 women.
It's possible he killed many more.
Now the story of his capture and trial is being brought to the big screen in Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile.
Zac Efron, who plays Bundy, says there is a stark warning to be taken from the film.
"Friends or more distant family or anyone that knew him at school described him as a fun-loving, very smart, intuitive young Republican.
"He had every kind of white privilege; he was good looking, he had things going for him. That right there makes this unique.
"A person of colour couldn't have gotten away with any of those things. It's shocking."
Bundy used his charm to lure his victims to their deaths, and then successfully worked the same trick again to avoid capture.
His clean-cut image allowed him to get away with murder.
Long before reality shows were a thing, Bundy achieved a level of perverse celebrity, thanks to TV.
