Director/Writer: Irene Taylor Brodsky

Synopsis: On May 31, 2014 in the woods of Waukesha, Wisconsin, two 12-yr-old girls, Morgan Geyser & Anissa Weier, stabbed their friend Bella Leutner 19 times & left her to die. Bella managed to crawl to the road & get help; she told her rescuers that ‘her best friend’ was the one who stabbed her. Morgan & Anissa were picked up not long after by police, & it was then they confessed to stabbing Bella in an effort to please Slenderman.
The doc focuses not on the victim & her family, who declined to participate, but on the perpetrators & their families, as well as touching on the origin of Slenderman & the effect of internet culture on today's youth.

A cannibal mermaid horror-musical-comedy?! It's like writer Robert Bolesto picked all the perfect pieces and put them together to create The Lure. This film got a very limited release on 2/1/2017 but, if you're one of the lucky few who is able to see it at a local theater, go check it out! That way, when you tune in for our next episode, you won't have to worry about spoilers. Plus, why wouldn't you want to watch this? It sounds amazing!

63 | The Autopsy of Jane Doe

Tommy & Austin Tilden are father & son coroners who have the body of a Jane Doe delivered to their home-morgue after the police discover it half-buried in the cellar at the scene of an already gruesome & very confusing crime scene. The pair realize there are some serious abnormalities with their corpse before they even cut her open. Her wrists & ankles appear to be broken, but there are no marks on her body. And it just gets weirder from there.

The real world can be scary enough so we're gonna switch it up next time and review the non-horror movie, Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them. That's right, folks. All that Harry Potter chat peppered-in throughout our episodes has been for no reason other than we love Harry Potter. So with this next episode being our 60th, we gettin crazy and reviewing HP. If that ain't your thing, you can listen to some past episodes instead. We'll be back in the horror game next time.
