Interesting facts

Easy Prey is a 1986 Canadian-American historical drama made-for-television film, reenacting the true story of Australian-American serial killer Christopher Wilder, also known as "the Beauty Queen Killer", and his kidnapping of victim Tina Marie Risico, a sixteen-year-old girl.

Production

Easy Prey was made mostly in central Canada, although the story itself is set across a more than 3,000 miles (4,800 km) stretch of the United States.

The new wave band The Brigade had a song featured in the film during a prominent scene, "It's A Wonderful Life" from The Brigade's album The Dividing Line. Larry Mortiff and Alan Bodoh, two independent producers, made a deal with survivor Tina Marie Risico to create a dramatized film of her experiences with Wilder.
