However, his story has been the inspiration for several movies and TV shows:
Movies:
* Badlands (1973): This critically acclaimed film by Terrence Malick is a fictionalized account of the Starkweather-Fugate murders, with the main characters inspired by Charles Starkweather and his girlfriend Caril Ann Fugate.
* The Sadist (1963): This low-budget exploitation film is a more direct adaptation of the Starkweather case, though it takes significant liberties with the facts.
* Starkweather (2004): This independent film, starring Tom Hardy, is a more recent, though still fictionalized, take on the Starkweather murders.
Television:
* American Horror Story: Murder House (2011): While not directly about Starkweather, this season of the horror anthology series features a storyline inspired by the Starkweather-Fugate murders.
* The Real Life Story: The Starkweather Saga (1983): This TV movie is a more straightforward dramatization of the events, though it still takes some creative liberties.
It's important to note that most of these adaptations take creative liberties with the story. While they may be inspired by the Starkweather case, they are not factual accounts of the events.
