    Lizzie Borden

    Lizzie Borden

    Lizzie Borden took an axe and gave her mother forty whacks. When she saw what she had done, she gave her father forty-one. This childhood rhyme was based on a real-life murder that was turned into a great movie, The Legend of Lizzie Borden. So great that when one fan, James Cushing, finds an axe, he thinks it is destiny to follow Elizabeth Montgomery’s portrayal and become Lizzie. Walking the streets of a Seattle suburb at night, no one is safe as he searches for the perfect victim.

Great podcast

This a great podcast. I hope more come in the future. The only qualm I have is that some are actual copycats inspired by the movie or TV show, but some are just similar cases.

Prepare for your ears to bleed

I was listening to the SCREAM killers episode and they replayed the same ear piercing scream about 30 times. Not to mention all the other annoying loud sound effects that are pointless. Don’t you guys realize some people listen with headphones? Will never be listening to another episode from them again.
