17-year-old murder suspect inspired by ‘Halloween’ slasher flick

A Texas teenager told cops he murdered his mother and sister after watching the horror movie "Halloween." "I started watching Rob Zombie's ‘Halloween.’ In the movie a 12-year-old boy murders his stepfather, sister, and his sister's boyfriend. It was the third time this week that I watched it," Jake Evans, 17, wrote in a 4-page confession Oct. 4, the day after the killings. The statement, which was released by Parker County Judge Graham Quisenberry Thursday, shows that Evans empathized with fictional serial killer Michael Myers' complete lack of empathy. "While watching it I was amazed at how at ease the boy was during the murders and how little remorse he had afterward. I was thinking to myself, it would be the same for me when I kill someone," he wrote.
