THE TODD KILLINGS
The Todd Killings is a 1971 psychological thriller, directed by Barry Shear and starring Robert F. Lyons, Richard Thomas, Belinda Montgomery, and Barbara Bel Geddes. It is based on the true crimes of serial killer Charles Schmid in the 1960s. (More from Wikipedia)
Probably the best known of the women’s music artists is Holly Near, although she is even more familiar as a left-wing political activist. Holly Near appeared in several films, including Slaughterhouse Five and The Todd Killings, as well as television shows like All in the Family, The Mod Squad and The Partridge Family.
By the way, there might be a few out there who remember a song by the controversial punk rock band the Angry Samoans called “The Todd Killings”; if I remember right, they performed the song on New Wave Theatre one night.
