In 2020, a lot of paracons and horror fests found themselves pivoting and becoming virtual streaming events. But that went for cons of all kinds, including true crime ones. I’m not sure why CrimeCon has decided to do another At Home one this year, but it’s great for true crimeContinue Reading
New Orleans abounds with vampire stories. There’s even one about a pair of men known as the Carter Brothers, who some say were arrested in the 1930s for being serial killers, confessed to being vampires, and were executed. Allegedly their ghosts still haunt the French Quarter to this day. This isContinue Reading
Famously Haunted: Amityville premiered during the “Terror on Tubi” Halloween programming. It started streaming on October 15 but is still available for your viewing pleasure. But is it pleasurable?

Aileen Wuornos is easily one of the most notorious female serial killers in American history. Curiously, she hasn’t inspired many films.

In 2006 a low-budget horror movie called The Curse of Lizzie Borden was released. Even though it was awful, it was followed up two years later with a sequel, The Curse of Lizzie Borden 2: Prom Night. Because, naturally, a prom-themed horror movie was the only thing that could follow,Continue Reading
The drama series One Tree Hill sometimes included plotlines that touched on true crime (ie. attempted murders, stalkers, and hostage situations). However, one of its leads, Chad Michael Murray, pretty much stuck to playing the “good son” Lucas Scott. He then went on to other roles, including Edgar Evernever, theContinue Reading
