This is the story of one child's kidnapping, imprisonment, and 42 hours of torture at the hands of a sadistic killer who loves the sound of bones breaking. It's also a story of survival, escape, and the closing of a cold case murder. This is the singular, unbelievable case of the Baraboo Bone Crusher, AKA The Bonecrusher Killer and the amazing survival story of Thad Phillips. Buckle. Up.

Here's a quick little bonus episode of holiday horror movies I recommend! 

Have a spooky Christmas season, my little gremlins!



XO, 

ST

On this very special holiday episode, we will discuss the origins, history, lore, and modern day resurrection of The Krampus: Saint Nicholas’ goat-footed demon sidekick. We will also cover Krampus runs, Krampus house visits, and traditional costumes. And just for added holiday fear, we will also talk about Kinderschreckfigurs (child terror figures), the Belsnickel of Pennsylvania, Mari Lywd, Wren Day, Servant Ruprecht, and the actually joyful Christkindlmarkt of Munich, among other things!

I hope you have dark and magical Christmas!

This story has everything- olden timey Texas, alligator pits, missing women, a love triangle, bootlegging, a saloon, barmaids, a body in a barrel, lots of nicknames, and a drunken serial killer. This is the harrowing story of The Alligator Man: Joe Ball. 

Happy Thanksgiving!!

I just dropped a baby bonus ep of a list of my favorite Thanksgiving horror movies, here are the visuals! Eat a ton, binge watch, and say an apology to the countless Indigenous Peoples whose lives we ruined (if you're American.) Have an amazing holiday!

What do you do, when your personal cell phone has been turned into a spying device? When it’s tracking your family's every move, and giving an anonymous stalker a view into your private life?

Three Washington state families say it happened to them and left them feeling like they were living in a horror movie.

Follow me down the internet highway as we discuss every theory I found, as well as I just speculate wildly. Well, informedly wildly, at least.

This was a whole ass ball of yarn, ya'll... 2 deaths turned into 3, then 4, and now stands at upwards of 7. What was happening to these poor tourists, to make them die horrific poisoning deaths? That is what we will try to uncover in todays episode.

A rape spree, 2 murder sprees, a jail escape, a movie-worthy prison escape, and a violent ending- this story has it all. This is the horrific tale of serial killer Daniel Camargo Barbosa, and the conclusion of my Colombian serial killer series.

It's our second episode of the Colombian serial killer series! It's another brutal case, with The Monster of the Andes killing up to 350 children in a three year period. Buckle up, because this shit is...horrific. And again, how is this case not more well known?!


This case is absolutely horrific. The Beast raped, tortured, and murdered up to 400- yes, that’s right- a whopping 400 small children in Colombia. Oh and another several countries as well. And this is not an old-timey case, either- he was caught in 1999. How this case is not well covered, I don’t know. Buckle up and make a sandwich, because I will give you all the gory details. *Huge trigger warning obvi*
