INFAMOUS TALE OF THE CALIFORNIA “FREEWAY KILLER”

FROM THE PRODUCER OF DAHMER AND GACY

COMES TO DVD AND BLU-RAY FEBRUARY 16

Based on the horrifying true story of William Bonin

CHATSWORTH, CA, Jan. 21, 2010 – One of the most terrifying episodes of violence in California history, the true story of William Bonin, is depicted in “Freeway Killer,” which will be released on DVD and Blu-ray at retail stores across the country on February 16 by Image Entertainment.

For years he terrorized California motorists as he rode the endless highways searching for his next victim. The discarded bodies turned up beaten, sexually assaulted and horribly mutilated. Deceptively charming and intelligent, the scheming murderer easily avoided police at first. But as police closed in and the killer’s pattern grew more erratic, the only question was how many more would die? Find out in this chilling true story of one of our most notorious serial killers, William Bonin aka the “Freeway Killer,” whose poisoned mind struck terror into an entire nation.

The film stars Scott Leet (TV's “The Young and the Restless”), Michael Rooker (“Cliff Hanger,” “Jumper,” “The Bone Collector”), Cole Williams (“North Country,” TV's “8 Simple Rules”) and James Babson (“Hell Boy,” “League of Extraordinary Gentlemen”).
