Full Plot Details

Four timeless urban legends continue to haunt the psyche of the American public. This documentary follows filmmakers Joshua Zeman and Rachel Mills as they investigate the true crimes that may have spawned these urban legends, while exploring how these myths evolved and why we continue to believe. The documentary probes the following legends: The Candyman: The film travels viewers to Houston, Texas, to explore the legend of tainted candy that strikes fear in parents every Halloween. Though the legend is prolific, in actuality there is only one documented case of a child dying from tainted candy: 8-year-old Timothy O'Bryan. Timothy was poisoned on Halloween by a real life monster who used the legend to hide his crime, earning him the nickname, The Candyman. The Baby-Sitter and the Man Upstairs: As the legend goes, a babysitter tormented by a twisted caller, learns that the sadistic calls are coming from inside the house. While the babysitter has become the go-to victim in so many of our horror films, does the same hold true in real life? Tragically, the answer is yes - as our filmmakers discover in the unsolved murder of Janett Christman - a babysitter who was slain in Columbia, MO, in 1950. The Hookman: The filmmakers investigate the "Moonlight Murders" of Texarkana that some believe sparked "The Hook" urban legend of the 50s & 60s. Based upon the legend of two teens lovers terrorized by a madman with a hook for a hand, Killer Legends will investigate this real life case of a killer known as The Phantom, who in 1946 attacked five couples parked on lovers' lanes. This unsolved crime that has created its own unique urban legend in Texarkana, perpetuated by a town that refuses to forget. The Killer Clown: In Chicago, the filmmakers investigate the "phantom clown" scares that have been spontaneously occurring since the 1980s. In cities across the globe, clowns have been spotted in vans trying to snatch children. Is this just a case of hysteria, manifested by fears of coulrophobia (the fear of clowns), or is there something much more serious at work? Chicago's creepy clown past, from John Wayne Gacy to Bozo, is explored in an attempt to answer the question of how clowns became so evil, and why they continue to haunt our nightmares.

TheFilmFile.com - 8/10 by Dustin PutmanAn eerie, insanely watchable documentary, "Killer Legends" was tailor-made for true-crime enthusiasts and folklore buffs.
User Review - 10/10 by Maranda BThis was very enjoyable to watch and interesting.
User Review - 8/10 by Marzia AYou really don't want to go in this documentary without really understanding the fact that rather than a collection of True Crime, it's actually analaying the origins of urban legends. If you're here for in-depth true crime stories, you're probably not going to be satisfied. Now that's out of the way, I found the interviews with the locals of the birthplaces of these urban legends to be fascinating. The only part I think lacked cohesion to the overall goal of analysing the very roots of urban legends, was the sections on Killer Clowns as I think the filmmaker strays into talking about examples that are too contemporary, specifially the infamous shooting during the screening of the Dark Knight Rises. Also, with the contemporary example it opens itself up for critiscism of oversimplification of that tragedy. But as a documentary, it flowed well and the editing was solid so this made it a rather easy watch.
User Review - 8/10 by Dillinger PReally good documentary if you like urban legends. It tells you some of the history of them. I really enjoyed watching it.
User Review - 8/10 by Jesse KPerfect for those looking for a blend between true crime and spooky urban legends.
User Review - 8/10 by Bethany CThis was an insanely watchable documentary on the true crime origins of urban legends. While I did know a lot of the origins of these urban legends already, just from my insatiable perusal of "creepy" things on the internet, some of them were unknown and quite interesting. It is true that the filmmakers (to my view) only weakly attempted to uncover the truth about the unsolved cases, I don't feel that was the point of the film. I think for what the film attempts, which is to seek the roots of popular urban legends, it is quite successful. That being said, I think some things were pretty weak. I think they could have explored different urban legends, where maybe the roots weren't as well-known (as they were the scary clown stories). I also think the "creepy" narration talking about how human nature and the truth is scarier than the legends felt forced. The filmmakers could have let the true crime stories speak for themselves to make the film creepy, they didn't need the obnoxious narration to force it to be.
User Review - 8/10 by Spencer Kvery insightful, I've watched it maybe 20x
User Review - 6/10 by Jenn Mthis was actually pretty interesting. played out like a documentary, had an eerie subject matter, great narrative.
User Review - 6/10 by Craig MSolid, but it felt as if each story needed just a bit more time -- especially when the film crew got into sleuthing.
User Review - 6/10 by Jim LI envy the people that made this documentary because I would have loved to have been apart of it! I found it fascinating to get to the root of these urban legends, every urban legend had a crazy background story & you can see how the stories got exaggerated over time. My only knock is that the film makers would go to the crime scenes or the lovers lane, and cemeteries at night, so as a viewer you can't see shit!! I've done my share of legend tripping, so seeing a documentary about it, I was totally thrilled
