Few things are rarer, or more terrifying, than a serial-killing duo. And among them, Leonard Lake and Charles Ng (aka The Snuff Film Killers) stand out as one of the most sadistic partnerships in criminal history. In 1983, Leonard built a secret bunker in the hills of California to imprison women as sex slaves and record his twisted “philosophy tape,” which began as a doomsday/survivalist manifesto and eventually spiraled into videotaped kidnappings, assaults, and murders. Alongside fugitive ex-Marine Charles Ng, Leonard Lake unleashed a reign of terror that claimed between 11 and 25 lives, including men, women, and children - some of whose final moments were immortalized on tape. Part 1 of our two-part coverage of The Snuff Film Killers lays the foundation for the nightmare to come, and unpacks the origins, obsessions, and twisted partnership that set the stage for their reign of terror.
