‘Ed Kemper’ Trailer – True Crime Horror from the Writer of ‘Ted Bundy’ & ‘Ed Gein’

In the early 2000s, Stephen Johnston penned a series of indie horror movies chronicling the true crimes of serial killers, including Ed Gein, Ted Bundy, The Hillside Strangler, and Starkweather.

Johnston returns to familiar territory with Ed Kemper, which he co-wrote with director Chad Ferrin (The Deep Ones, Someone’s Knocking at the Door).

The film tells the chilling true story of Edmund Kemper, a manipulative serial killer known as The Co-Ed Killer whose charm hid a dark obsession with murder, revenge, and his tormented past.

Brandon Kirk stars as Kemper, who murdered his grandparents at age 15 and, after being paroled for the crime, killed eight women — including his mother — between 1972 and 1973.

Susan Priver, Brinke Stevens (The Slumber Party Massacre), Lew Temple (The Devil’s Rejects), Robert Miano (Donnie Brasco), and Cassandra Gava (Conan the Barbarian) round out the cast.

Ed Kemper will be released on Digital and VOD on April 8 from Dread.

Ferrin’s H.P. Lovecraft adaptation Unspeakable: Beyond the Wall of Sleep just hit VOD last week from Breaking Glass Pictures.
