• Zodiac (2007): Episode 39

  In this episode, I’m joined by the always insightful Chuck Your Horror Guy to dive deep horror true crime movie Zodiac (2007). David Fincher’s chilling masterpiece blurs the line between investigation and obsession. We unpack the film’s meticulous attention to detail, the murders connected to the Zodiac, and how the haunting mystery of the Zodiac Killer consumed journalists, detectives, and everyday people alike. From unsettling recreations of the crimes to the suffocating paranoia of the investigation, we explore why Zodiac still leaves audiences uneasy long after the credits roll.

• The Silence of the Lambs (1991): Episode 38

  In this episode, we find ourselves in the mind of a killer and face one of the most iconic duos in cinema history: Clarice Starling and Dr. Hannibal Lecter. The Silence of the Lambs (1991) redefined the serial killer thriller and felt more real than other depictions of serial killers. Listen as I analyze the themes of this film and the extensive research done to create the almost perfect predator. Dr. Hannibal Lecter and Buffalo Bill are a culmination of serial killers. Just like the skin suit being crafted by Buffalo Bill, his character was patched together with characteristics from serial killers Ed Gein, Ted Bundy, Gary Heidnik, and Edmund Kemper. Dr. Hannibal Lecter is fashioned after Albert Fish, Ed Kemper, and Dr. Alfredo Ballí Treviño.

  In this episode of Scream Queen Podcast, we’re dialing into the ultimate teen slasher of the '90s, Wes Craven’s Scream. With its razor-sharp meta-commentary, iconic Ghostface mask, and rule-breaking final girl, Scream didn’t just revive the slasher genre, it redefined it.But behind the clever dialogue and bloody set pieces lies a real-world horror. We dive into one of the horrors references The Town That Dreaded Sundown. Inspired by Texarkana Moonlight Murders, a series of unsolved killings in 1946 that haunted a small town.
