- DirectorJeff MeyersStarsEric MayerAlicia BartaPaul Floding"Recommended." - Library Journal." ... an intense one-on-one encounter with a series of five serial murderers. The video provided an in-your-face quality I would have missed from the back row of a theater. I was spellbound." - Wall Street Journal Spend an intimate evening with the twentieth century's most notorious serial killers, including Ted Bundy, Richard Ramirez (the "Night Stalker"), and Aileen Wuornos (America's First Female Serial Killer"). "Mass Murder is deliciously dark fringe theater at its best.... Fine acting and intense monologue bring unmistakable electricity to the stage and the killers portrayed ... Eric Mayer effortlessly held me in his spell, as he captured Ted Bundy's boyish charm, attractive exterior and the emptiness, frustration, and hatred, which simmered beneath his outer surface ... This exceptional film will leave you with an object lesson of how little you need for terror beyond a darkened stage and a serial killer's presence."
