There have been some horrific home invasions in the news lately, but this kind of thing is, unfortunately, nothing new. In 1959, four members of the Clutter family were slaughtered in their rural Kansas home by two drifters. Seven years later, Truman Capote turned the tragedy into a bestselling book, which a year after that became this Richard Brooks-directed film. Forty years after that, In Cold Blood star Robert Blake was acquitted of the murder of his wife. Satisfy your morbid curiosity about the Clutters (and Blake) by clicking here. (You might have to verify your age, but you are old enough, aren’t you?)
