Plot Summary
Many people believe the scariest urban legends are just modern day folklore; campfire tales of axe-wielding boogeymen, haunted mental institutions and witches in the woods – the storylines of our favorite horror movies, but often beneath the surface of these harrowing myths lies a horrific truth that’s scarier than any fiction. Through a chilling blend of investigative journalism, and what folklorists call Legendtripping, filmmakers Joshua Zeman and Rachel Mills embark on a dark journey as they investigate four of our most terrifying urban legends and the real-life crimes that may have inspired them. Peeling back the layers of storytelling, from interviews with shocked detectives to traumatized victims, our filmmakers discover a truth more horrifying than they had ever imagined. Unraveling the mystery behind a legacy that refuses to die, this is an attempt to understand not just what we all fear, but more importantly… why we continue to believe. From the director of CROPSEY.

GREAT follow up to "Cropsey" with more Universal meaning...
Joshua Zeman has quickly become my favorite documentarian. His subject matter and the way he tackles it in film are truly engrossing. In "Killer Legends" he examines the Universal fears in all of us that cause us to believe in and to perpetuate Urban Myths and legends. The film is so well done, and so engaging, that I sat at the end waiting to see a "Part II". In fact, that is the only downside to this film: it's simply NOT enough! Give us a "Part II", and SOON!
Well done, Josh. Well done. Keep up the great subject matters of the macabre!
America's Most Haunted
KILLER LEGENDS is a must-see for anyone who loves a good scare. More frightening than the legends they cover is the truth behind the stories. Forget what you think you know and get ready for a shock! Zeman and Mills go deep into the source, the birth of the creepiest stories from our childhood. The research is top-notch, the history thorough, and the stories presented in a way that will keep you up at night and make you question everything. Well done! I want more!
Holy Waste of Money! Horrible!
This film is strikingly bad. It's more of a comedy than a documentary, mostly because the two morons creating this whole thing take themselves seriously. They somehow started out trying to do a piece of investigative journalism into urban legends and then play junior detective and seem to try, and fail miserably, to recreate crime scenes and solve murders. The commentary they provide makes this film perfect fodder for Mystery Science Theater 3000.
