Canadian Filmmaker Writes a Murder Movie Script and Carries It Out

[u4ic]

EDMONTON–In a case police call a diabolically cruel convergence of art and life, local filmmaker Mark Twitchell will appear in court Monday charged with first-degree murder.

The 29-year-old fervid fan of the psycho-slasher TV show Dexter is accused of luring now-missing Johnny Altinger to a garage and killing him in a scenario that resembled Twitchell's latest film project – in which a man is abducted, tortured, and hacked to bits.

"We have a lot of information to suggest he definitely idolizes Dexter and a lot of information that he tried to emulate him during this incident," said Edmonton police homicide Det. Mark Anstey.

"It was definitely planned. He put a lot of thought, a lot of work, into it."

2. I've heard of people who had trouble telling the difference between fiction and reality...

but when it's his own damn movie... you'd think he'd be able to tell the difference.

Its a little less likely to feel like a rerun when they kidnap, torture and kill you.

11. I knew as soon as I heard about the show Dexter that some sicko freak
