DescriptionPoster from the movie, The Town that Dreaded Sundown. The film was loosely based on the Phantom Killer, who terrorized Texarkana, Arkansas, during the 1940s. The Phantom Killer was an unidentified serial killer believed to have committed a number of murders--possibly killing as many as six people--in Texarkana between February 23 and May 4, 1946. There was a prime suspect; however, the case has never been solved. The movie was released in 1976.
