Fifty years ago today, American serial killer Dean Arnold Corll was murdered by one of his teenaged accomplices.  While spending some time online, I found that quite a few serial killers have called the Lone Star State home.  Here's a list of the five most prolific Texas killers . . . in order of their number of victims: #1 Dean Arnold Corll: (28+)   The Candy Man   targeted, raped, tortured, and killed boys in the Houston-area, particularly runaways and teenage male sex workers who frequented in his candy factory. Movie :    In a Madman's World , directed by Josh Vargas Stage Play :   The Boys From Houston Heights , written by Bradley Nies #2 Carl Eugene Watts (22+)   The Sunday Morning Slasher  kidnapped, tortured, and murdered  young women between the ages of 14 and 44, usually around 4:00 AM on Sunday mornings. Movie :  The Empty Chair , directed by  Andrew Shebay Book :   Hidden Brutality: The Life of Serial Killer Carl Eugene Watts , written by Jack Smith #3 Ángel Maturi
