  I would say not... by j.butterfly2007-01-22 09:36:31
    Read all 9 pages. There is incredible similarity by Havoc2007-01-22 09:50:24
      Ok, there is a big hole here... by j.butterfly2007-01-22 11:09:18
        Yup - you are right. - But it still has similariti by Havoc 2007-01-22 11:26:40
es.

Actually, it was known and public knowledge in 1971, not 2004. The story made headlines again recently. But I cannot find any source that says that Carpenter got the idea from the Charlie Brandt case, but then again, nothing says he didn't either!

The similarities :
1> kid kills family member without warning
2> kid ends up in psych ward
3> kid grows up
4> kid ends up being a serial killer.

Between 3 and 4 both of them got out of the psych ward. Just Myers broke out when he was an adult, and Charlie was released at his father's insistence.

Eerie.
