What is ‘Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer’?

Question: “What is ‘Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer’?”

Why Do I Care: I cannot remember how this came up. It might have been merely a suggestion, although its darkness suggests possibly something more sinister. I had a great aunt who was killed by Ed Gein somewhere in Midwestern America. Maybe this was brought up. Anyways, it’s in the notebook and now answered here.

Answer: Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer is a 1986 movie about a serial killer based on the life of Henry Lee Lucas. It has a pretty good rating. I haven’t watched it yet, but did find a link to the full movie and it does work. Looks twisted. Whoever told me seemed pretty shocked I hadn’t heard about it.

Conclusion: Well, I’m on a tropical island. Something just seems wrong watching death and horror here. Instead of watching this, I’m going to go read my book on the beach.
