What began as a week of new classes at college in Gainesville, Florida, turned into one of the most terrifying crime sprees in American history. Within four days in August 1990, five students were brutally murdered in their own homes, their bodies arranged in scenes so disturbing they would later inspire the classic movie franchise "Scream". But behind that Hollywood legend was a real life nightmare, and the man who brought it to life was far darker than fiction ever dared to be.
