Death Scream is a 1975 American made-for-television crime drama film loosely based on an actual event concerning the real-life account of "a young woman whose murder was witnessed by fifteen of her neighbors who did nothing to help and refused to cooperate with the police."[1] It originally aired on ABC on September 26, 1975.
The film had the working title of Homicide, and its rerun title was The Woman Who Cried Murder.
On March 13, 1964, Catherine "Kitty" Genovese was attacked and viciously stabbed several times by a psychopath while nearby residents watched but did nothing to help.
