Killer Legends is a 2014 American documentary written and directed by Joshua Zeman for Chiller. Zeman and Rachel Mills, a researcher, investigate the real-life origins of several urban legends.
Joshua Zeman and Rachel Mills investigate the origins of several urban legends:
After directing Cropsey, a documentary that examines the similarities between a New York urban legend and a real-life kidnapper, Zeman approached Chiller with the idea of a series based on the intersection of urban legends and true crime. For business reasons, the series was retooled into an anthology TV film. Clowns were not initially planned to be a subject covered in the documentary, but Mills uncovered a large amount of information on them. Upon bringing this to Zeman's attention, he agreed to expand the documentary to include them. [1]
Killer Legends played for one night at the Nitehawk Cinema in Brooklyn, New York on March 13, 2014. [2] Chiller aired it on March 16, 2014. [3] Breaking Glass Pictures released the DVD on July 1, 2014. [4] It was one of the top ten best-selling independent film on iTunes in July 2014. [5]
Patrick Cooper of Bloody Disgusting rated it 4/5 stars and called it "a wholly fascinating experience on a lot of levels", though he criticized it for focusing so much on the filmmakers. [6] Brutal as Hell wrote, "Overall what we have here is a very thoughtful and interesting documentary. It will entertain you, creep you out and you will probably learn some history along the way." [7] Michel Sabourin of HorrorTalk rated it 4.5/5 stars and praised the atmosphere and pacing. [8] Horror Society rated it 4/5 stars and called it "insightful and well put together". [9]
