Ted Bundy was a categorically awful person yet he has become the subject of a docuseries and film this year.

Back in January, the docuseries The Ted Bundy tapes was launched on the streaming service and next month the movie Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil And Vile will premiere on the streaming service.

He confessed to 30 killings and was executed by electric chair in Florida in 1989.

Efron, 31, appeared in the film's trailer released on Tuesday, starring opposite Lily Collins as Elizabeth Kloepfer, the girlfriend desperately trying to learn the truth about her murderous boyfriend.

At one point in the teaser, Kloepfer asks: "Ted, did you do it?" A stony-faced Efron replies: "No."

Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil And Vile, also starring Jim Parsons (The Big Bang Theory), John Malkovich and Kaya Scodelario (Skins, Maze Runner), earned positive reviews following its debut at the Sundance Film Festival, with Efron's performance lauded.
