Cheryl Hole and Nikki Druce are turning back the clock to travel to Chicago and learn about America’s most prolific serial killer H.H Holmes. The inspiration behind American Horror Story’s Hotel season, this wiley and manipulative killer started his dodgy and murderous ways way back as a young 20 something. After people went missing wherever he went, he decided to open up a horror hotel, filled with traps, rooms like something out of a Halloween house, and a body chute that went all the way to the basement… but how did a simple pharmacist go from helping people to doing the worst things imaginable to people? Cheryl and Nikki are going to find out. Expect a very caffeinated Chez, and the kind of hotel that you can check out of, but never leave… This episode contains graphic details of violence, and murder, including violence against children.
