Tagline: Back in town… with a vengeance!  

Trivia: The film was inspired by real-life cases. The first was Richard Speck’s murders of eight student nurses. The second was when a Scotland Yard investigator got fired from his job for planting evidence to convict a Thames River killer, and it turned out that the killer committed three murders before being convicted. The third case is that of Ted Bundy–to whom the actor playing the killer bears a striking resemblance–in that Bundy murdered young and beautiful women, he was good-looking and drove a Volkswagen Beetle.
 

Goofs: Continuity: When Warren is chasing Betty through the woods, he’s wearing pants while running in some shots.
