Interesting documentary on some notorious US murderers of the 1970’s… Examines the cases of Charles Manson and his family, Kenneth Bianchi “The Hillside Strangler“, Henry Lee Lucas, and Otis Toole…

“The title comes from the idea that serial killers have graduate degrees in murder, though I would have thought the committing of multiple acts would jettison them into post-graduate territory. The 4 killers mentioned here – Charles Manson, Henry Lee Lucas, Ottis Elwood Toole, and Kenneth Bianchi – receive disproportionate coverage. Manson is not seen at all, which may be a blessing considering the one crazed interview I have seen him give. Henry Lee Lucas gets short shift, as well, but his partner Ottis Toole has perhaps the most troubling predicament.”…  IMDB
