The Deliberate Stranger is a two-part 1986 True Crime Mini Series produced and directed by Marvin J. Chomsky and starring Mark Harmon, Frederic Forrest, George Grizzard, Ben Masters, Glynnis O'Connor, and M. Emmet Walsh. The teleplay by Hesper Anderson is based on the book Bundy: The Deliberate Stranger by Richard W. Larsen, who is portrayed by Grizzard in the series.The series centers on the crimes of Theodore Robert Bundy, better known as Ted Bundy, specifically his activities around 1974 to his ultimate capture in 1978. Bundy was a handsome, charismatic man who campaigned for local politicians and volunteered at a crisis hotline, but what nobody knew was that this seemingly nice, clean-cut guy would turn out to be one the most notorious serial killers of all time.See also 2002’s Ted Bundy, the Ann Rule book and later TV movie The Stranger Beside Me, and 2019’s Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil, and Vile. | |

They Look Just Like Everyone Else!: Ted is a textbook example. He is clean-cut, well-groomed and more than a little charming. | |

In Medias Res | |
| The Deliberate Stranger / int_2534ee67 | comment |
In Medias Res: The movie begins with the abduction of Georgeann Hawkins (though hers and nearly every other victim's name was changed for the movie), eliminating Bundy's first four or five murders. | |

Impersonating an Officer: Ted Bundy approaches Carol DaRonch in this manner. Not until he tries to assault her once she's in his car does she realize that it's a lie. | |

Fearsome Foot | |
| The Deliberate Stranger / int_32c6b317 | comment |
Fearsome Foot: From the opening sequence and throughout the Mini Series, we get a repeated scenario—a pretty young woman walks past, the camera pans down to the ground, a pair of men's feet enter the frame, depicting their owner as slowly stalking the girl…and cue Gory Discretion Shot. | |

Bad Samaritan | |
| The Deliberate Stranger / int_ddab9ac8 | comment |
Bad Samaritan: One scene has Bundy picking up a young woman hitchhiking. Given that he's been well established as a misogynistic Serial Killer at this point, it's safe to say he has bad intentions. It's also inverted in the way he would lure women away by claiming to be injured and in need of help. | |
