There aren’t enough content warnings in the world for the story of Ed Kemper and Herbert Mullin, two serial killers who simultaneously stalked Santa Cruz in 1972 and 1973. They’re the subject of our latest “Shoot This Now” podcast, available on Apple or Spotify or right here:
On every episode of “Shoot This Now,” we talk about stories we’d like to see made into films. Kemper, a 6’9” figure with a high Iq, has been onscreen before: Cameron Britton’s portrayal of him is a highlight of Netflix’s “Mindhunter.” As we explain on the podcast, the story of his and Mullin’s overlapping murder sprees remind us of “Zodiac” meets “Donnie Darko” — times two.
Kemper posed as a wanna-be cop and Good Samaritan to lure hitchhikers into his car and do horrific things. Mullin believed his murders were human sacrifices to prevent earthquakes. Their paths eventually crossed.
