by Stephen Hoover

Updated 2nd Edition! Love is a many splendored thing for some couples. For others, it’s murder. Killer Couples offers synopses of some of the finest movies out there that feature killer couples at the heart of their stories. From gangster couples who raged across the south and Midwest during the Depression to killer couples from far in the future, you’ll find some of the best films that mix themes of love, devotion and death featured here. Information on the real-life couples that inspired some of the best films is featured to give some perspective on the films and how the actual stories of the couples line up with what’s seen on screen.

Killer couples are sometimes frightening, sometimes endearing and sometimes outright insane but, no matter what draws them to one another, the results are always interesting. From Heathers to True Romance to off the beaten path selections such as Pretty Poison, you’ll find plenty of great love stories featured here, all of them with a dark and sinister twist that makes them worth seeing and truly memorable.down of key elements.
