Through exclusive audio interviews with Richard Ramirez on San Quentin's Death Row, as well as with his family members and his wife -- most of which have never been heard before -- this documentary explores how a perfect storm of twisted boyhood influences and drug addiction enabled a troubled young man from El Paso, Texas, to become one of the most infamous serial killers in history. The series also features rare footage of his bride on their 1996 wedding eve, video interviews with his victims' family members, former friends, female admirers and relatives who have never told their stories in a documentary format. Together, these elements offer an unsettling and thought-provoking look into the mind of a brutal serial killer through those who knew him best. This series holds a mirror up to reflect the culture of fandom in the 1980s, which turned a maniacal killer into a serial killer rock star for legions of fans who became obsessed with him.
