    The Firefly Family Murders: The Devil's Rejects (2005)

    We cover the horrific case of a murderous family, who—after a terrorizing crime spree across the state of Texas—ultimately met their downfall at the hands of a local sheriff.  But while the out-there antics of the Firefly family gained some notoriety over the years, the true horror behind their crimes—and their rumored house of horrors—would leave a mark on the community for the years to follow.  Told with a true crime twist, this...is The Devil's Rejects.

    The Disappearance of the USCSS Nostromo: Alien (1979)

    In this uniquely futuristic case study, we cover the story of a space-bound transportation vessel, where—after receiving a distress call on a nearby planet—the crew piloting the ship makes a startling scientific discovery.  Only as events would proceed, all contact and communications with the starship Nostromo would be lost.  And when crews eventually recover the sole survivor and potential saboteur, her story—if it's to be believed—just might change our concept of space as we know it.  Told with a true crime twist, this...is Alien.

    The Waits Family Disappearance: Troll 2 (1990)

    The Fazbear Pizzeria Killer: Five Nights at Freddy's (2023)

    We cover the story of a missing persons investigation that—after a near 20 year hiatus as a cold case—would come to a crashing conclusion.  And while initial suspicions painted a local security guard as the prime suspect, the truth would be far more disturbing…and, if additional local rumors are to be believed, may have involved life-sized killer animatronics.  Told with a true crime twist, this...is Five Night's at Freddy's.

    The Massacre at Camp Arawak: Sleepaway Camp (1983)

    We cover the case of a traumatic series of events that rocked a youth summer camp program in the 80's, where—after an initial few seemingly tragic accidents—it becomes apparent to the staff on site that there may be something more sinister at large.  But even with this increasingly violent victim count, the most shocking revelation in the case would be discovered at the dramatic conclusion…when investigators would apprehend the killer in question and famously reveal their identity.  Told with a true crime twist, this...is Sleepaway Camp.

    We cover the follow up story of a series of murders in Crystal Lake, where—after a five year hiatus—a string of new and violent deaths once again plague the local community.  And if rumors are to be believed…the killer in question this time around is someone authorities originally declared dead over 20 years prior.  Told with a true crime twist, this...is Friday the 13th Parts 2-4.

    The Crystal Lake Killer: Friday the 13th (1980)

    We cover the iconic story of a group of camp counselors, who—in the midst of renovating a local summer camp for a grand reopening—find themselves caught up in a violent series of murders.  And while their desperate isolation at Camp Crystal Lake is well documented, the origins of the killer in question predate this specific massacre…and instead began over 20 years prior.  Told with a true crime twist, this...is Friday the 13th.
