The Hit Horror Film ‘Megan Is Missing’ Is Coming To Blu-Ray

Daniel Farrands (Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers) both wrote and directs American Boogeyman starring Chad Michael Murray (House of Wax) as the infamous serial killer. “Set in a gritty and decadent 1970s America, American Boogeyman follows the elusive and charming killer and the manhunt that brought him to justice involving the detective and the FBI rookie who coined the phrase “serial killer.” Ted Bundy is such a fascinatedly divisive character and is the true personification of evil,” said Voltage Pictures president and COO Jonathan Deckter.“Murray is so talented and expertly captures Bundy’s charm and seductive nature, traits that the notorious killer exploited to win the trust of his victims as well as society. It’s fantastic to continue working with the very gifted Lucas and Dan on this feature and bring engaging narratives to the screen.” Lin
