10 Must See Made For TV Horror Movies

Also known as I Can Make You Love Me, making Stalking Laura all the more terrifying is the fact that it's based on some very real events.

That true story is the one of Richard Farley, a serial killer whose obsession with a co-worker led to him murdering seven other colleagues. The acts of Farley were so horrific that they ushered in the very first anti-stalking laws in the US back in 1990, with the creep finally surrendering himself to the authorities after a five-hour stand-off with a SWAT team at the Sunnyvale, California office of Electromagnetic Systems Laboratory.

Here, it's Brooke Shields as Laura Black - the target of this stalking - and Emmy Award-winning Waltons favorite Richard Thomas as Richard Farley, with Thomas putting in a particularly impressive turn.

For the real-life Farley, he was sentenced to death after being found guilty of seven counts of first-degree murder. He is currently on death row at the California Health Care Facility.
