Plot Synopsis

TED BUNDY: SERIAL MONSTER is a two-part, four-hour special that chronicles the story of serial killer Theodore 'Ted' Bundy, exploring his amazing ability to cover his tracks while uncovering how he outwitted an army of investigators despite being identified by friends, colleagues and even his girlfriend. A handsome gentlemen on the outside -- a terrifying and depraved monster on the inside. He was a chameleon so deceptive that some experts estimate he charmed more than a hundred women to their cruel deaths. From his beginnings as an innocent paperboy to an admired high school athlete to budding attorney and rising politician, no one recognized him as the bloodiest mass murderer in American history. He's an American psycho, a Buffalo Bill in SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, a Grimm monster. He is Ted Bundy. This special reveals the why and how behind Bundy's disturbing roots, obsessions, psychological tricks, narcissistic self-promotion and murderous aim. How did Bundy's story begin? Why did his crimes begin? Why wasn't he captured sooner? Even behind bars there was no way to stop him. Twice he escaped from supposedly escape-proof prisons and killed again. And even after his final capture and facing the electric chair see how Bundy still repeatedly outsmarted the press and judicial system. Part 1 debuts Sunday, August 5, 2018 at 9pm ET/6pm PT on ReelzChannel, with the finale premiering the following day on Monday, August 6 at 9pm ET/6pm PT.
