When I saw information about a documentary with a similar title, I wondered, “Is this a companion documentary to The Lady in the Lake series on Apple TV+?” Besides sharing similar titles and subject matter, both are haunting in their own ways. But they’re different, too. Let’s explore. About The LadyContinue Reading

The Curious Case of key art

Manhattan Alien Abduction title Screenshot

Technically, The Manhattan Alien Abduction is a good docuseries if you measure it by its binge-ability. It was on my Halloween must-binge list, and I gobbled up all three episodes of the Netflix documentary pretty much in one sitting. (Except for breaks to hand out candy to trick-or-treaters.) But it’sContinue Reading

This Is the Zodiac Speaking

Are there any serial killer cases, whether solved or unsolved, that you’re just done with hearing about at this point? They’ve been analyzed and talked about to death. Can’t we just move on? I feel that way about two cases: Jack the Ripper and the Zodiac Killer case. I wasContinue Reading

“This didn’t really happen…did it?” I thought as I watched the trailer for The Manhattan Alien Abduction. Funnily enough, that’s the question at the heart of the forthcoming Netflix docuseries. One that becomes abundantly clear while watching the trailer, but that is also summed up in the tagline: “A woman claimsContinue Reading

“Huh. So that’s what the real Wendy looks like,” I thought when I watched the trailer for Mastermind: To Think Like a Killer. At least, I was pretty sure Dr. Ann Burgess was who Wendy Carr was based on in the Netflix series Mindhunter. Wasn’t she? I thought I’d heard thatContinue Reading

Alien Encounters: Fact or Fiction key art

Do you remember the 1995 short documentary The Alien Autopsy? It purported to be found footage of an autopsy of one of the aliens from the Roswell incident. It created quite a stir at the time, largely influenced by the FOX Network, which aired Alien Autopsy: (Fact or Fiction?), aContinue Reading

Expedition from Hell: The Lost Tapes key art

“Is Discovery Channel venturing into the found footage genre?” I wondered when I first heard about Expedition from Hell: The Lost Tapes. “How’s that going to work?” It was the “lost tapes” part that tripped me up. Were there really some lost tapes that someone found that would tell theContinue Reading

The Devil on Trial Netflix poster

The first words we hear from David Glatzel in Netflix’s The Devil on Trial documentary is him introducing himself. Then he explains, “When I was 11, I was possessed by the devil.” There was another documentary about the case, The Devil Made Me Do It Shock Docs, which premiered onContinue Reading

Monster Inside McKamey Manor Hulu Documentary screenshot

“Whatever happened to McKamey Manor?” I wondered not too long ago. In one of those serendipitous twists of fate, the Universe answered in an unlikely way. I was flipping through Hulu last week to see what new shows they had for Friday the 13th weekend, and boom. That’s when IContinue Reading
