A film freely inspired by the true story of Randy Steven Kraft, the American serial killer who murdered sixteen young men between 1972 and 1983. He is also believed to have committed the rape and murder of up to fifty-one other boys and young men. Kraft is currently incarcerated on death row at San Quentin State Prison in Marin County, California. He became known as the “Scorecard Killer” because, inside his car trunk, investigators found a ring binder containing a hand-written list of 61 coded notations about his victims and more than 50 photographs of young men (dead or asleep) in pornographic poses beneath the carpet. He was also known the “Freeway Killer” because many of his victims’ bodies were discovered near freeways.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
