Since their 1958
crime spree, the real life crimes of Charles Starkweather and his accomplice
Caril Fugate have inspired countless fiction portrayals of a young murderous
couple on a cross-country rampage: The Sadist (1963), Badlands (1973), Stark
Raving Mad (1983), Murder in the Heartland (1993), Natural Born Killers (1994),
and Starkweather (2004). Heath Lowrance understands the trope well and makes it
his own in "Scarred Angel."
