The Zodiac Killer was a serial killer who operated in Northern California in the 1960s and 1970s. His identity remains unknown. His crimes, letters and cryptograms to police and newspapers inspired many movies, novels, television and more. This article lists only entertainment ("popular culture") inspired by the events, not documentary media. ==Film== *''The Zodiac Killer'' (released April 6, 1971) was directed by Tom Hanson and starred Hal Reed and Bob Jones. *''Dirty Harry'' (released on December 23, 1971), directed by Don Siegel, was filmed in San Francisco. In the movie, which is very loosely based on the Zodiac case, the killer (played by Andrew Robinson), who calls himself "Scorpio", at certain points sends intimidating letters, with the handwriting based on the real life killer's and kidnaps a school bus full of children and threatens to kill them all. * The "Gemini Killer" in the movie ''The Exorcist III'' (released on August 17, 1990) was also loosely based on the Zodiac Killer. * The Zodiac Killer is mentioned in the film ''The Addams Family Values'' (1993). While at Summer camp, Wednesday, Pugsley and Joel go over a set of "Schizos and Serial Killers" trading cards, with Joel mentioning the only cards he doesn't have are "Jack The Ripper and that Zodiac guy". Pugsley then offers to trade an Amy Fisher card for Joel's Black Widow card. * A short film entitled ''Disguised Killer'' (2000) was produced in Vallejo; set in the present, it is based on the Lake Herman Road murders. * In 2005, Lions Gate Entertainment released ''Zodiac Killer''. Set in the modern day, the films features a nursing home employee who begins copycatting the Zodiac, angering the original killer, who is revealed to be a member of a moralistic secret society, and who has been living under the guise of Zodiac expert Simon Vale (portrayed by writer and director Ulli Lommel). Two years later, the company released ''Curse of the Zodiac'', a loose retelling of the original murders, also written and directed by Lommel.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Serial Killer Cinema of Ulli Lommel )〕 * In 2006, THINKFilm released ''The Zodiac''. *''Hunting the Zodiac,'' a documentary by John Mikulenka, was screened for the public in San Francisco on March 3, 2007 at the 4Star Theater. 〔http://www.huntingthezodiac.com〕 *''Zodiac,'' directed by David Fincher, is based on the two non-fiction books by Robert Graysmith: ''Zodiac'' and ''Zodiac Unmasked: The Identity of America's Most Elusive Serial Killer''. Filming locations included San Francisco and Los Angeles, and it opened in theaters nationwide on March 2, 2007. *In the 2012 movie ''Seven Psychopaths'', a flashback sequence depicts Zachariah Rigby and his wife Maggie, who have spent their lives gruesomely murdering serial killers, arriving at the Zodiac's house, where he has been apparently farming rabbits. Maggie pins him to a table by his hands using two large knives, and burns him to death with gasoline. After witnessing this, along with many other grisly things she'd done, he tells her he can no longer continue murdering people, and she leaves him. After relaying this story to the main character, Marty, Rigby laments, "I shoulda helped her kill that hippie." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Zodiac Killer in popular culture」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
