10 Things Netflix’s Ted Bundy Documentary Left Out
6. Details On Ted's Fascination With Necrophilia
He was also a rampant necrophile.
The docuseries only briefly touches on Ted's burning desire to have sexual contact with his deceased victims. Sometimes, this happened days after they'd been murdered, and Bundy would only stop when their bodies were too decomposed to continue. Even writing that makes one feel sick.
Perhaps it's understandable why the directors didn't go in-depth on Ted's vile sexual depravities; it'd be rather disrespectful to his victims if the film were to lean too heavily on something Bundy got off on. Still, it's an important part of the story, and his twisted need to tamper with bodies arguably needed to be explained better.
There's next-to-no chatter about how Ted would sever the heads of some he murdered, apply makeup to their corpses or brush their hair. Similarly, there's little about the nights he spent sleeping next to the corpses after defiling them.
