    David Huffman's Final Act

    David Huffman stopped by the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego to bring his castmates cookies. It was a gesture of goodwill since he was leaving the production a week early to start work on a TV miniseries. Unfortunately he didn't make it to the start of the series. He didn't even make it to that evening's performance at the Old Globe. Minutes after dropping off the cookies and leaving the theatre, David Huffman was dead.   For ad-free and bonus episodes: Subscribe on Apple Podcasts -OR- Subscribe on YouTube -OR- Join our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/horrorwoodpodcast   Follow us!

    *Re-Release* The Wild Case of Femme Fatale Claudine Longet

    *Claudine Longet died yesterday, May 14, 2026. We covered her case back in January 2023 and are re-releasing that episode in case you missed it the first time around. It's a wild one! **I just want to note that in this episode I mention Claudine admitted to pulling the trigger. I misspoke. ACTUALLY, she only admitted to shooting him. There is a difference. ;) This episode has quite the cast of characters: a French showgirl-turned-actress, a legendary singer, an Olympian...even a Kennedy has a cameo. It was the magical time of the 60s and 70s when people were just VIBING. But the party would come to a screeching halt when one day Claudine Longet - the ex-wife of Andy Williams and girlfriend of skier Spider Sabich - was feeling a little "ringy" and shot her Olympian boyfriend dead. She claimed it was a terrible accident. Unfortunately investigators turned the crime scene into such a clusterfuck that prosecutors had a tricky time proving their case. Pour yourself some champagne because this one is a doozy.   Episode Sources: Court TV's "Power, Privilege and Justice" with Dominick Dunne - 'The Starlet and the Skier' "Claudine Longet: Aspen's Femme Fatale" by Robert Chalmers "Murder, Cocaine, Money, Olympics, & Skiing" by Miles Clark "The Incandescent Life and Untimely Death of Spider Sabich" by Matthew Renda "Spider Sabich ‘Lives’ on in Film and Party" "The Legacy of Spider Sabich" "Miss Longet Weeps at an Autopsy Report on Sabich"   Join our Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/horrorwoodpodcast   Follow us!
