The Phantom Killer is an unidentified serial killer thought to be responsible for a series of slayings known as the Texarkana Moonlight Murders, which inspired the 1976 movie The Town That Dreaded Sundown. He is Texarkana's only known serial killer and is credited with a number of attacks in Texarkana, Texas and Arkansas between February 22 and May 3, 1946. The attacks took place at approximately three-week intervals. The Phantom Killer was also known as The Texarkana Phantom or simply The Phantom, The Phantom Slayer and The Moonlight Murderer because he often killed late at night. Despite the name and rumors, he did not attack when the moon was full.
