Aeman reveals the psychological battle he’s fought since childhood, marked by fatherlessness, gang affiliation, and undiagnosed mental health issues. He talks openly about his early life in Chicago, his attempts to pursue a professional life in acting, and the psychotic break that led to a series of brutal murders in the Atlanta area. Aeman walks listeners through his inner monologue before the killings, the warped logic he believed justified his actions, and the moment of psychological rupture when the “demon” within took over.

This week we are covering the horrifying real life events that inspired the horror movie ‘Scream'. The university town of Gainesville Florida was shaken in 1990 when 5 students, Sonja Larson, Christina Powell, Christa Hoyt, Tracy Paules, and Manny Taboada, were brutally murdered over the course of 4 days in August, right before the fall semester was about to begin. Investigators eventually linked Danny Rolling to the slayings and he was dubbed ‘The Gainesville Ripper' by the media. However, investigators would uncover that Danny's brutal crimes extended beyond Gainesville.   Sources:  William DeLong, “The True Story Of Danny Rolling, The Gainesville Ripper Who Inspired ‘Scream'”, All That's Interesting, Jan 16, 2022, https://allthatsinteresting.com/danny-rolling-gainesville-ripper, accessed Oct 10, 2024.    Glenn Ruppel, Sean Dooley, and Anthony Rivas, “How a woman in Louisiana helped break the case of 5 student murders in Florida”, ABC News, April 8, 2021, https://abcnews.go.com/US/woman-louisiana-helped-break-case-student-murders-florida/story?id=76900692#:~:text=Eighteen-year-old%20Sonja%20Larson%20was%20among%20the%20victims%20of%20the%20so-called#:~:text=Eighteen-year-old%20Sonja%20Larson%20was%20among%20the%20victims%20of%20the%20so-called, accessed Oct 8, 2024.    Tim Ott, “Danny Rolling: The True Story Behind the Killer Who Inspired 'Scream'”, Biography, Oct 14, 2020, https://www.biography.com/crime/danny-rolling-scream-killer-gainesville, accessed Oct 8, 2024.     Michelle Dean, “The True Story Behind the Horrific Murder Spree That Inspired 'Scream'”, Complex, Dec 20, 2016, https://www.complex.com/pop-culture/a/michelle-dean/scream-20th-anniversary-true-story-serial-killer, accessed Oct 8, 2024.    Staff Writer, “Former suspect in Gainsville killings graduates from UCF” The Ledger, June 5, 2009, https://www.theledger.com/story/news/2000/08/07/former-suspect-in-gainsville-killings/8026682007/, accessed Oct 8, 2024.    “Sondra London”, Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sondra_London, accessed Oct 9, 2024.  

Today Amber and Gina are diving into the inspiration behind the movie, Scream! Kevin Williamson, the screenwriter behind the 90s cult classic, was inspired to write the script after watching a documentary about Henry David Rolling, the “Gainsville Ripper.” Henry Rolling went on a kiling spree in 1990, taking the lives of five college students over the span of a few days.

DISCLAIMER THIS EPISODE CONTAINS HIGHLY GRAPHIC CONTENT. LISTENER DISCRETION IS ADVISED. IF YOU ARE SENSITIVE TO CERTIAN TOPICS, THIS EPISODE MIGHT NOT BE THE ONE FOR YOU.   This week, we take a look at the early life and murders of Danny Rolling. We discuss his abusive upbringing with his father, petty crimes, robberies, and of course the murders he committed. Finally, we discuss his time in prison and his execution.

Art and Life, movies and madness, do they always go hand in hand? We take a look at two cases that sit on different sides of the "inspired by" storyline. Kelsey covers Allan Menzies, a story that involves mental illness, an obsession with the Queen of the Damned, and a very sad loss of innocent life. Movies often get blamed for inciting violent tendencies, but how much culpability can we give them when the movie is telling the person to do something truly evil? Can movies be accessories to murder?Turning the tables, Alanna takes us to the USA for the horrific Gainesville Student Murders, aka the inspiration for Scream. We start off with the troubling childhood of Danny Rolling, the so-called Gainesville Ripper. Had he got the help he needed, would we still have had the triple-murder that kicked off a crime spree so chilling it inspired its own story? We'll never know, but stick around for part two of this murder rampage, it's a tough one that had to be split up due to time. Darkcast Network Promo of the Week!

In late August 1990, Gainesville, Florida, was bustling with the excitement of college students returning to the University of Florida for the Fall semester.

IN THIS EPISODE: Borley Rectory was reputed to be the most haunted house in the UK. It's thought that the rectory was destined to be a haunted house from the start due to the events that had occurred on the site many centuries before. (Borley Rectory: The Most Haunted House in Britain) *** Though it's been shuttered, Willard Asylum still stands as a creepy memorial to those who once walked its halls. (Willard Asylum) *** The bond between grandfather and granddaughter is so strong, it even affects the little girl's sleep. (The Inconsolable Child) *** It had long straggly hair, long fingers, and long arms… and it ran faster than humanly possible. What was it? (Long Haired Entity) ***Artists depict them as children, even toddlers, with wings. Innocent, cute, loving. But the angels called “cherubim” in the Bible may not have been the little angels we depict them as. (Biblical Cherubim – Sweet Angels Or Dangerous Creatures With A Hidden Agenda?) *** The story of the Beale Treasure is one of mystery. The booklet from the 1880s detailed circumstances in which an immense treasure was buried, and included coded messages left on how to find the secret stash of gold, silver, and other jewels. But was it a legitimate opportunity to become wealthy, or someone's idea of a practical joke? (Lost Treasure and the Beale Cipher) *** Of all of the many strange things that one can see out on the road at night, one that is certain to startle anyone is a car blinking out of existence in an instant right before one's eyes… and there are stories coming in from all around the world. (Baffling Cases Of Cars Vanishing Into Thin Air) *** A family experiences strange occurrences all at the same time while in the car – but even stranger, they weren't all in the same car or in the same location. (The Glowing Ball) *** Ghosts can terrorize, but can they also protect? (Stewart The House Spirit) *** In 1990, Danny Rolling left University of Florida students cowering over the course of three days, and murdered five in the process. (The Gainesville Ripper) *** April 26, 1865, in New York a photograph was taken that became the most controversial photo of President Lincoln ever taken. (The Forbidden Portrait of Abraham Lincoln) *** Birthed from troubled pasts, Henry Lucas and Ottis Toole were lovers and deranged serial killers whose crimes would change American laws and TV.

Episode 29 The Gainesville Ripper  Between August 25 and August 28 of 1990, five Gainesville, Florida students are found brutally murdered in their off-campus apartments. The University of Florida, the surrounding community colleges, and the city of Gainesville are gripped in terror for days as police work tirelessly to find the killer.

Scream: The True Story That Inspired The 1996 Slasher and Scream Movie Sequels with SPECIAL GUEST Was 1996's Scream based on a true story? Here's the creepy inspiration that Kevin Williamson credited to writing the movie about Ghostface. Was Wes Craven's Scream inspired by a true story? The slasher movie that introduced the world to Ghostface debuted in 1996. The actual screenplay was written by Kevin Williamson and he had quite a bit of inspiration when developing the script. Scream immensely stood out when it premiered in the mid-'90s due to its meta approach to the horror genre. The slasher pointed out horror cliches while subverting typical tropes when it came to killers on the loose. Even though Scream was heavily influenced by horror classics such as Halloween, Friday the 13th, and Nightmare on Elm Street, it was still unique enough to ingrain itself in the minds' of horror lovers when comprising the genre's best films Before settling on Scream, the movie was titled Scary Movie. Williamson created a horrifying tale about a young woman that was home alone being taunted by a serial killer on the phone. The woman, portrayed by Drew Barrymore, went on to be featured in the film's opening scene. The central character, however, was Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell), the true target of Ghostface, the Halloween-costume wearing madman. The basis for Scream came to Williamson when he learned about a real Florida serial killer, the Gainesville Ripper. Danny Rolling, aka the "Gainesville Ripper", murdered five students over a four-day period in August 1990. During that period, the area in Florida fell into complete chaos as the murders struck fear across the community. Rolling was eventually caught after being linked to previous murders in Louisiana, but the terror stuck with those who were enthralled by the event in the '90s. Williamson has stated that he was watching a TV special about the Gainesville Ripper when he noticed one of the windows in his house was open. At first, he was overcome with fear, thinking how easy it would be for a killer to break in. But that fear quickly turned into inspiration.

In August of 1990, the Gainesville Ripper struck the small college town of Gainesville, Florida. He murdered five students over a weekend, terrorizing the community for months and changing the state's law enforcement forever.

Just a bit of friendly advice from our episode on the Gainesville Ripper, a serial killer who committed a series of unspeakable crimes in the early nineties on and near the University of Florida campus. Find the whole episode on Patreon.com/floridawomanpod

In 1996, Wes Craven unleashed a new slasher film that flipped horror on its ear and launched a new franchise, this film was written by Kevin Williamson… who drew his inspiration from the crimes of one Daniel Harold Rolling.

In late August 1990, Gainesville, Florida fell victim to a serial killer. Over the span of less than a week, five college students were brutally murdered in their homes. Police couldn't figure out who was behind the gruesome attacks and the Gainesville community was absolutely terrified. Doors were triple locked and roommates were sleeping in shifts. A suspect was jailed, but the DNA didn't match. Meanwhile, a man was jailed in Ocala, Florida, the suspect of multiple armed robberies. Two completely different types of crimes, and no one suspected that that robberies and the murders were committed by the same person. To their suprise, they were wrong, and the man responsible for the Gainesville murders and countless armed robberies, was actually already in prison. Unbeknownst to detectives though, Danny Rolling's murders in Gainesville weren't his first. Rolling had killed before he'd even entered the state of Florida, annihilating an entire family, all before he was fearfully dubbed the Gainesville Ripper.
