There was definitely a theme within the Murder Mondays theme when Death by Fame and The Playboy Murders premiered on ID in January of this year. Namely, celebrity. Now two new series that share a similar vibe with each other are headed to ID’s Murder Monday nights, Mean Girls Murders and Killer Cheer.
Mean Girls Murders explores the inner workings of cutthroat cliques, vicious backbiting, and cruel intentions, while Killer Cheer presents cases of crimes among young women that turned deadly. Both series will run for six weeks with back-to-back episodes premiering on Monday, March 13. First Mean Girls Murders at 9/8c on ID, followed by Killer Cheer at 10/9c.

Have you ever known a mean girl? (Or maybe you were one but are now reformed?)
Courtney Mroch is a globe-trotting restless spirit who’s both possessed by wanderlust and the spirit of adventure, and obsessed with true crime, horror, the paranormal, and weird days. Perhaps it has something to do with her genes? She is related to occult royalty, after all. Marie Laveau, the famous Voodoo practitioner of New Orleans, is one of her ancestors. (Yes, really! As explained here.) That could also explain her infatuation with skeletons.
Speaking of mystical, to learn how Courtney channeled her battle with cancer to conjure up this site, check out HJ’s Origin Story.

I have known mean girls, but with parents who tried REALLY hard, the girls ended up being “merely” self-centered princesses and not anything worse than that.
How marvelous to hear your experience with mean girls involved the parents being not only aware of the situation but also active in addressing it! LOVE this!!!
Does being a goth at one point count? LOL!
We were “mean girls” in a way to a musician before he/they got big and famous…Marilyn Manson. *wry laugh*
So I was going to say that being a goth wouldn’t make you a mean girl, but then you left this doozie of a follow-up! Say what?! You were mean to Marilyn Manson? Say what?! (did I already say that? lol)
Yeah, we weren’t as mean as some of the other clubgoers (This was back in the days of the “scene” where people tossed beer bottles and such at the band–punk rock style), but we did make a few snippy comments when he got up to perform. We then went to the downstairs patio to wait out the band’s set (again, people were getting very vocal/physical with their dislike). And then MM got all famous and stuff. Ha!
HOLY SMOKES!!! What a great “I knew them when” story about a famous person! But maybe you all sensed something about him? Didn’t it come out he mistreated his girlfriends and stuff? I’m wondering if you all had a sixth sense about the demons dwelling within him. What an amazing story!!! THANKS for taking the time to share it!!!!
