Forty years ago, Richard Ramirez, the sadistic “Night Stalker” serial killer who claimed to be controlled by Satan, sent California into a panic. There have been movies, many books, and documentaries, but only “Richard Ramirez: The Night Stalker Tapes” contains clips of 25 hours of conversations recorded with the killer after his death sentence.

It is broadcast in the US on Peacock, but if you are overseas, here is how to watch “Richard Ramirez: The Night Stalker Tapes” online from anywhere using a VPN.

Like Ted Bundy, and perhaps less savory, Ramirez is guaranteed a place in popular culture by his looks. Like John Wayne Gacy (aka “Killer Clown”), his nickname attracts attention. Like “The Zodiac Killer,” Ramirez died of natural causes in prison, whereas the former was unidentified, and there is a sense that justice was denied. [Between April 1984 and August 1985, the “Night Stalker” killed at least 13 people and was convicted of five more attempted murders, 11 sexual assaults, and 14 robberies. His M.O. was rarely the same, and his motive was never clear.

This two-episode documentary includes interviews with family, friends, and his wife, a former teen magazine editor, to provide some of the answers. Women who knew Ramirez, including former friends, family members of the victim, and his own niece, also share their own experiences, but it is the killer's own voice that gives the definitive chilling effect.
