  In 1995, Hilton advised producer Samuel Rael on the movie Deadly Run, about a man who kidnaps women and murders them in the woods, a scenario strangely similar to Hilton's actual crimes. After hearing about Hilton's conviction, Rael commented on how similar the crime was to scenarios Hilton had suggested for Deadly Run.
