As gruesome counterpoint to Law and Order, where the stories are ripped from the headlines, a Canadian man was arrested trying to plagiarize a a page out of Michael C. Hall's book when he allegedly lured a man into his garage and killed him in a style similar to Showtime's anti-hero serial killer, Dexter.

The story came out around Halloween and it was weird enough to warrant a post, but there was all that election fervor and it got lost in the wayside. So here's the deal: Canadian "filmmaker" Peter Twitchell convinced Johnny Altinger that he was meeting a woman he met on an Internet dating site. But Twitchell was actually making his own movie, that was a sequel to the Star Wars franchise, included a member of the original cast, and apparently necessitated a snuff scene.

Ripped from the headlines, people:

Over the last few months, he had been finishing a tribute movie to Star Wars filmed last year.
Star Wars: Secrets of the Rebellion featured an international cast, including the actor who played Boba Fett in the original George Lucas films. People who worked on the film said Twitchell poured a lot of his own money into the project. He even purchased a new digital video camera.

So…Star Wars film? So how does Dexter play into this again?

Altinger's body hasn't been discovered, but cops arrested Twitchell after finding a script, in which a male killer lures a cheating husband through an Internet dating scam and decapitates him with a power saw, according to the Vancouver Sun.

The killer in Twitchell's script works for the police, as does Dexter (Michael C. Hall), a Miami blood splatter analyst who moonlights as a serial killer.

Rosenberg said that a "Dexter" copycat is something the show's producers have feared since the show premiered in 2006 - and that there's never been any intent to glorify Dexter's murders.

Worst. Star Wars/Dexter slash fanfic ever. But seriously, that is horrible and crazy and did anyone ever try to copycat Brett Easton Ellis' American Psycho's Patrick Bateman? Because that one seems like a gimmie.
