• Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil, and Vile: Ted Bundy is a charismatic psychopath who is arrested on kidnapping charges. Once evidence is found that suggests that he is responsible for a series of murders across several states, Bundy does everything in his power to charm the public and attempt to avoid justice from the ensuing murder trial. He escapes prison, brutally murdering two women and viciously attacking two more before being recaptured after savagely beating a police officer who pulls over Bundy, who is in a stolen car. In addition, Bundy exploits the love his girlfriend Elizabeth "Liz" Kloepfer has for him in order to convince her that he is innocent, not caring about the physical and emotional toll the stress from the trial is taking on her. When she can no longer stand by him, Bundy simply moves onto a more compliant woman, filling her head with the same lies he'd told Liz, while still attempting to contact Liz behind the other woman's back. Though Bundy maintains his facade of innocence for years, he eventually confesses to the murders of over 30 girls, including one as young as 12, cementing his status as one of the most infamous serial killers in American history.

• Eyes of a Stranger: Stanley Herbert, known informally as the "Phone Freak," is a sickening combination of a Serial Killer and a Serial Rapist. Stanley's modus operandi is to harass and taunt women he targets over the phone, before he assaults them and ultimately rapes and kills them. Having already claimed three victims and made himself known as a feared psychopath around Miami, Stanley moves on to brutally murder and rape several more women over the course of the film, having no compunction over brutally killing anyone near the proximity of his murders to ensure a lack of witnesses. Stanley targets the reporter Jane Harris due to the fact she figures him out as the killer; to avenge himself and to spite Jane, Stanley breaks into her apartment, strangles her dog, and cruelly attempts to rape Tracy, Jane's blind sister, simply because she happened on the premises. Perverted, remorseless, and ultimately low enough to try and violate those helpless against him, Stanley is one of the most horrendous killers to ever grace 80's slasher cinema.
