The Collector

She is the mom with the shark babies.

Uh, you know her from The Collector in 1965.

Unfamiliar.

No.

Lake and Ng found each other in the early 1980s, and they decided to combine their fantasies and create an underground compound in which they would lure women and hold them captive.

And they called this Operation Miranda, which is based on a movie that Lake saw called The Collector.

Right.

Uh, and so they killed a number of people over a couple year period, um, until they were caught, and Lake subsequently committed suicide and N- Ng fled to Canada, which is how it, uh, sort of connects to me.

Once Berdella's case became public knowledge, popular rumor would have it that he cooked and served some of his victims as food at his shop, though there is no actual evidence to suggest that was the case.

After his arrest, Berdella cited the 1965 film adaptation of John Fowles' novel, The Collector, in which a man kidnaps a young woman and holds her captive in his basement, as an inspiration for his murders.

Berdella described his crimes as, "My darkest fantasies becoming my reality." Berdella's own crimes inspired their share of movies, books, and even songs.

A local radio personality wrote a parody song called They Call Me Bob Berdella to the tune of Donovan's 1966 hit, Mellow Yellow.

when we come to the critical reception of the end there's some absolute pearlers yeah but yeah put a pin in that awesome so the casting of the film now Robert Harmon wanted Terrence Stamp for the role of John Ryder but Stamp turned it down saying that he couldn't go to the place that he had to go to play the part properly and Harman suspected a little bit of actor BS here.

And having seen the places that Stamp had gone two decades before in William Wyler's chilling thriller, The Collector, I am inclined to agree.

And later, Harman met with Stamp.

He met him at a party.
