Released in 2008 and distributed by Monterey Media, How to Be a Serial Killer is a dark comedy and cult horror film written and directed by Luke Ricci. The story follows Mike Wilson (Dameon Clarke), a charismatic and articulate serial killer who decides to share his "life's purpose" by recruiting a lonely video store clerk named Bart (Matthew Gray Gubler) as his protégé. Structured partly like a motivational seminar and partly as a narrative slasher, the film guides Bart—and the audience—through a 10-step program covering everything from corpse disposal to balancing "work" and play. The dark humor is ramped up when Mike’s girlfriend, Abigail (Laura Regan), begins to suspect his secret life, leading to a high-stakes climax. Noted for its satirical take on self-help culture and its "blacker than black" comedy, the film has earned a dedicated following for its unique concept and Dameon Clarke's endearing yet psychotic performance.
