The TERRIFYING True Story of the Town That DREADED Sundown

In 1946, the quiet border city of Texarkana was gripped by fear when a masked man began attacking couples at night. His terrifying spree inspired the cult-classic horror film The Town That Dreaded Sundown — but the true story is even darker and stranger than the movie. In this video, we dive into the real Phantom Killer, the unsolved Texarkana Moonlight Murders, and the panic that turned an entire city into a fortress. [DRAMATIC PAUSE]

From the first attack on Jimmy Hollis and Mary Jeanne Larey to the brutal murders of Richard Griffin, Polly Ann Moore, Paul Martin, Betty Jo Booker, and Virgil Starks, this is the true story behind The Town That Dreaded Sundown — what happened, how the investigation unfolded, and why the Phantom was never caught. If you think you know the movie, you need to hear what really happened.
