Henry Lee Lucas was one of the most notorious serial killers in history. While he was convicted of 11 counts of murder, after his arrest he claimed to have killed many more — the exact number is debated. Lucas reportedly received special treatment for confessing to the crimes: he was regularly taken out to dinner, he wondered freely in jail, and was rarely handcuffed. Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer is a shocking independent film that chronicles his journey. Lucas is portrayed by Michael Rooker, who is most famously known for playing Merle Dixon on The Walking Dead.
