Some faces you simply can’t forget.
That was the believed hiding in the back of our heads as we attempted to determine why the offender at the heart of Netflix’s Night Stalker: The Hunt for a Serial Killer appeared so familiar to us. As real criminal activity fans, we have actually taken in lots of hours of bone-chilling docu-series and imaginary movies about serial killers.
Still, as we tuned into the Netflix docu-series for the very first time, which dropped on Jan. 13, Richard Ramirez‘s face was strangely familiar to us. Before long, it struck us that season 9 of American Horror Story had actually integrated Ramirez’s haunting murders into their story.
So, it wasn’t technically Ramirez who we were acknowledging, it was the star who represented the respected killer. And while American Horror Story: 1984 wasn’t a precise retelling of Ramirez’s criminal offenses, star Zach Villa was simply as scary as the real-life killer he was representing.
This isn’t the very first time that serial killers have actually gotten the Hollywood treatment. In reality, a number of your preferred stars have actually played a few of history’s most dreadful wrongdoers.
